To see if your PC is ready for Oblivion, Your computer system must have the following minimum requirements for installing :
Oblivion – the fourth game in the Elder Scrolls series – is set within the province of Cyrodiil, the heartland and Imperial capital of Tamriel
Minimum System Requirements
- Windows XP 64-bit, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
- 2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
- 512 MB System RAM
- 4.6 GB free hard disk space
- 128 MB Direct3D compatible video card and DirectX 9.0 compatible driver;
- 8x DVD-ROM drive
- DirectX 9.0c (included)
- DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card
- Keyboard, Mouse
Recommended System Requirements
- 3 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
- Multicore processors should have an advertised clock speed of 3GHz, as this is the speed each core runs at. Oblivion will not benefit very much from extra cores, so having a high speed per core is important.
- 2 GB System RAM or more
- Oblivion will not benefit much past 3GB of RAM, as Oblivion has no 64-bit executable meaning it can access a maximum of 2.5GB of RAM. Adding extra RAM will allow the Operating System to use the excess, allowing Oblivion to use the maximum amount of RAM it is able to.
- Windows XP or Windows 7
- Due to severe bugs and design flaws that severely affect performance in Windows Vista, its highly recommended to use either Windows XP or Windows 7; Windows 7 is almost identical to Windows Vista in terms of its interface, though many performance issues have been resolved.
- ATI X800 series, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 series, or higher video card
