Oblivion System Requirments Out

My PC will struggle with anything higher then the lowest settings, but that won't stop me from buying it. Hell I've already pre-ordered the collectors edition! First time ever that I went for a collectors edition, because this one seems worth it!

Cool, Im just inside of the recommended specs- should be fine.

Yeah, I'm gonna get a job (gah!) to pay for the graphics card. Lets hope I can find a place that will accept a dude with a ponytail.

I'm not sure any Starbucks (at least in the Northern VA area) will hire a male without one. Good luck.

How can you tell if your graphics card is higher or lower than the reference ones? Mine's a Radion 9800 Pro AGP 128MB. I think it meets the minimum, but maybe not the recommended?

Yep, that's about the minimum according to them. My computer meets the recommended requirements, but my wife is also lusting over this game and her computer doesn't so we'll have to do a major upgrade for her. All in all, Oblivion is looking to be very profitable for hardware manufacturers as well!

I have the same card. It might not run some things perfectly - but it runs everything well.

Dont lose all hope- the minimum specs are much more lenient:

# 512MB System RAM
# 2 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
# 128MB Direct3D compatible video card
# and DirectX 9.0 compatible driver;
# 8x DVD-ROM drive
# 4.6 GB free hard disk space

Of course, it'll probably look like crap and run like a slideshow on that system.
