It is possible to get this game running on (geforce)ti's, fx and (radeon) 9xxx cards but with minimal settings and a 'hack' to the games' shaders, forcing use of older shading effects (I don't notice a visual difference).
Oh and that FX issue, I have heard of some fixes for it although not sure if they actually 'fix' for sure.

I find that opening sentence rather thought- provoking. OK, I took a pause right there and re-scanned the front page forum index, and it's much as I remembered it last. A lot of CRPG's. No shooters, no platform jumpering, side-scrolling, console-derived twitch & wiggle stuff. I've never NEEDED to have a beast of a PC for my kinds of games. I started playing CRPG's practically with the beginning of gaming on the desktop computer, and never have had the newest & latest of hardware.
If I'm that much of a minority now, I'm surprised.
By Wednesday, I hope, I'll have Oblivion running in a different system with twice the RAM and half again more VGA power than at present. But I still may want to copy a game save across the LAN and play from in here sometimes, as well, so any concise, neatly compiled, readily usuable rundown on the things needed for an FX VGA (5900) would help. And if a 9800XT needs anything to help it get around SM 3, then whatever that might be, as well!
Incidentally, the flood of message traffic at Bethsoft's TES IV: O forums isn't slowing down. They have had to go offline again to catch up. So far, they are not attempting to place any new player - originated stickies, either. With the rapid influx of new traffic, any good threads are quickly pushed off the top ten pages.
