What kind of FPS does your 6600 get? Just kind of curious as to how that thing is performing.

Well, in 800x600 with AA2x, AAA2x, and most effects on (medium quality), I get from 20 to 30 fps depending on the place I am. (In large open areas with lots of foliage, it drops).
What about your fps? |
Mine is kind of not fair to compare with. My current board runs 1280x1024 with all details on including HDR and I usually get in the 50 FPS (x1900 XTX).
My old board that just died however (which is what forced me to do the computer upgrade) was an ATI 9800 AIW (bascially a Pro model with TV tuner, etc.). I used to get about 30 FPS outdoors at 1024x768, except over by the western edges of the map where I could drop to like 20 FPS with brief bouts worse than that, but I was running with all detail on except shadows was dropped to about 1/3rd max, and character shadows were off.
The way I was able to run the 9800 with max grass on was by editing the .ini file in your My Documents folder. Go there and drill down to My games/Oblivion. In there you will find the ini file in question. Search for grass thickness in the ini and you will find it defaulted to 80. Change that to 120 instead and your FPS will go way up with max grass on. 120 is about the limit I find since if you go beyond 120, you will start to notice the grass thin out. At 120, the grass is still thick and it looks like you never made a change.
The x1900 XTX I leave defaulted at 80 however. It looks slightly better, but if you really look at it, it really isn't noticeably better. The x1900 however doesn't really care how thick the grass is, so might as well make it look good!

PS. I just found out my 9800 AIW is still under warrant for another couple months! Hopefully I can get it replaced because I'd hate to loose this board. It is still worth something and would do nicely in a secondary system. I have an Abit MB with an AMD XP3200+ and 1 GB of PC3200 RAM running at 400 Mhz! I even have my old Seasonic 400 WATT Tornado PSU to go along with it - so you can see why I want it replaced!
