I'm playing it on the lappy in my sig. A better card than the one you inquired about. So far Game auto configured it to High Quality, default settings and 1074x768 resolution. Tonight I plan to push it up higher but I wanted some play time beforehand to see how the game is and if there was any compatibility problems with my system. None so far. ::knocks on wood:: Game is running smooth and the graphics look very nice.

I dont know what the framerate is. I plan on getting FRAPS DLed tonight to show that but its smooth running to the eye. Once I get FRAPS and some official numbers I plan to push the game settings more.

Yes. All on high settings at 1024X768. Looks great. SOme artifacts after 2.5 hours. I let the system idle (pause) during the last hour.

im on theone in my sig and its runs fine at 1440x by whatever i forgot it was, and details fairly high but not ridiculous, with bloom to soften the edges of the world and not use AA, and it runs fine, except for when its a heavy fight, but even than i can still play fine. Lappy is running alot better than i thought it would for sure.

I'm running Oblivion on my M70 with the 275Mhz Quadro 1400 (6800go) with ok performance at 1280x1024 HDR max distance terrain, trees, buildings. Combat can be a little jumpy. Upgrading to 84.25 drivers made a huge difference.

So far it seems unplayably slow on my x700 using catalyst 6.3 drivers, but that laptop has only 1GB of ram and a slower harddisk.

All I can say about the game is, amazing.

Yeah.. I'm running those...

I haven't noticed much difference, maybe a couple of fps.

I'm running with everything practically on max, couple of shadow settings turned down, at 1680*1050.
I have been doing some ini tweaks, most notably turning grass density down a bit.

In the imp. city I get anywhere from 13-25 fps, running around outside.

In forests it slows down a bit, but only on the max end of things, so I get 13-16

I find this quite acceptable, as its not a FPS.

I might turn down the res a notch though.

Not good your framerate, you should consider lowering the resolution and try getting 30fps at least

I had to go to 84.25 drivers otherwise all water appeared solid black on my M70. I started out with the 84.25 beta drivers from nvidia combined with the 84.21 INF file from laptopvideo2go (in order for them to isntall on my lappy). that worked fine. When GeForceTony released the xtreme-G 84.25 drivers I moved to those.

Performance with HDR outside is adequate, but not 100% smooth. Indoors its fine. I prefer bloom since it looks better on my crappy old Samsung external LCD.

Absolutely amazing game. This one is gonna force me to either get a xbox 360and HD LCD/TV or an XPS M1705 with the 7900GTX when it comes out.

7800 GTX here, I am now settling on my settings I think, no INI tweaks.

1920x1200
HDR
Distant Land, Buildings and Trees
Low shadow filtering

Sliders set to moderate levels, except grass which I've completely turned off.

With these I get very smooth framerates (30+) just about everywhere, except dense forests with several enemies attacking at once, then it dips around 16-20 fps, but even then it's playable and looks gorgeous.

I agree.
But I also agree with Somethingsin: It's so damn pretty!
It's so hard to turn down those settings and settle with less eye-candy because it looks so darn good!

I have it running on 1280x900 with all settings on high and sliders half way set.
Of course, when you can use HDR, use it!
So pretty to see the light bloom around a church chapel in a city.
I can just keep staring at it as the clouds are passing by...

I agree

I agree. I have hardly done anything in game simply because I keep wandering around like a doofus with my jaw hanging open amazed at how good everything looks.

Seriously, this game may drive me to blow huge sums of cash on either an XPS M1705 when it comes out or a barn burning 7900GTX SLI gaming desktop.
