With my setup I get _awesome_ framerate indoors and in cities. I suspect that outdoors it can dip as low as 20 but usually hovers around 30 to 40 (I don't know for sure... is there a way to check? I'm just going off "feel").[/QUOTE]

Yes there is - hit ~ (without the shift), to bring up the console. Then type "tdt" and it will bring the info up on the top right corner of the screen.

For example, last night I was hitting up to 400 indoors, and outdoors it is about 40, though it does get lower ... so for me it is almost exactly as you are guessing

W00t! (I can tell you: it cost me quite a lot!! )

AMD XP 2,4 ghz

Radeon 9800xt.
Resolution 1024x768, no FSAA.

I have most video options maxed out, but I turned Bloom off since that's turned out to be one of the bigger FPS hit. If I leave it on and turn off the far-off landscape rendering instead I get roughly the same fps. It's a matter of taste really, it feels sorta like Morrowind if I disable the far-off landscape. On the downside, being able to see THAT far leaves the odd impression of a smaller world (if the weather is ok you can see half-way across the country). Again, I blame Morrowind. I'm just so incredibly spoiled right now.

As I said before, on my system Oblivion runs decently, 25-30 fps outside (estimate), 30-40 inside (possibly higher, but I'm not Spiderman). In the forests I get a slightly lower fsp, but it doesn't interfere with combat.

I have yet to determine if disabling the music increases my framerate. It did for Morrowind, so who knows.
