Hex_Rated · Post by **Hex_Rated** » 13 Apr 2006, 13:12

$900 with a res of 800x600. Uses twin OLED displays, 1600x800 internal resolution of the graphics card will be used, which means that they will need the same power to run 800x600 as what 1280x1024 would take on an LCD. Available from 1 June 06. I forsee the guys with bling (you know who you are) buying this thing. I will wait at least a year. This is probably the first viable 3D headset, possible because of OLED tech.

What else...?

Thread jacker!

is there a multiplayer patch out yet

Post by **maxxis** » 15 Apr 2006, 13:50

What about SLi and Oblivion. Im running 1280x1024 everything on max.

Just a question when I turn on AA it turns of HDR. Huh?

Trance101 · Post by **Trance101** » 15 Apr 2006, 15:06

You cannot run HDR and AA at the same time in this game. You have to choose one or the other. Personaly i'd choose HDR coz it makes the bigger visual difference IMO.

I think that only the x1900's support AA and HDR atm and i think there is some kind of work around to get AA and HDR at the same time for them. But as u've got an sli setup this won't be of much help for you

Yes you can by using the tweak guides updated catalyst drivers
It works wonders...

Ill just run at 1600x1200 and see how that works.

Thanks. Im sticking to HDR. Soooo pretty.

I have got a question with
Spoiler
With the Umbra sword and armor you get when you kill umbra.....how strong is that sword and is it really worth the trouble of killing her?

Ohh I got a horse for completing a mission but I lost it is there a way to get it again or do I have to buy a new one

Character update
Level 18 War Mage vampire I am part of the fighters guild, thieves guild, Black hand....master sneak, Journeyman heavy armor, apprentace block, Journeyman blade, Apprentace Merchantile, Apprentace restoration magic and destruction magic.

Another question how does the extra magica work when you level up and where can I buy cool destruction magic spells and restoration magic spells.

Thx

ynoz - if i could help i would, but i'm a level 3 weed

Spoiler discussion:
It's strange you mention Umbra because in Morrowind you kill the orc and take the sword and yet now it seems you do the same in Oblivion? Thats kind of weird i think.

As for best places to buy cool destruction spells, the Arcane Uni is the best place i've been to with mages who are willing to sell big hitting spells - pity i can't afford them - or have the magika to actually cast them.

Well Skingrad has the Dectruction magic Guild but i'm not sure which one is the restoration magic one. (I have my house in Skingrad

)

Magika is worked out according to your intelligence but how fast it regenerates is affected by your willpower. I'm not sure on the exact workings tho.

Small update regarding the 80.25 drivers. THEY ROCK.

Im running 1600x1200 with everything on and its sooo smooth,

Is there any special tools that you need when you use the tweak guides for Oblivion?

Yeah did you complete the quest or do the ghosts still appear at random???

Anyway I havent got enough magic to get cool spells that sucks....

Azriel · Post by **Azriel** » 16 Apr 2006, 15:29

Well, once you lift the curse on that house in Anvil, it's quite nice, and it's pretty cheap too!

...that wasn't a spoiler hey?

AssHat · Post by **AssHat** » 16 Apr 2006, 15:39

nah, the ghosts are gone and eventually evil dude's carcass disappears too...but the basement still freaks me out.

SO MUCH stacking space though!!! love it.

ynoz · Post by **ynoz** » 16 Apr 2006, 15:44

Yeah but I need help with the dude because everytime I try to kill the dude I get my bottom capped...

Heck, I just swallowed a bunch of potions, did some spells to protect myself and flew into him with a sword...he was so much easier than the ghosts themselves...strange. Hm...I had trouble with the ghosts because I didn't have the right weapons, they didn't do much damage to me but it took forever to kill them with the pathetic fireball spell i had. Do you have any protective magic?

Oops!

Ya, you need a silver or daedric or some other type of weapon for them!

Btw, can anyone tell me where to find the Armory of the Imperial Legion Compound?

Or just the Imperial Legion Compound for that matter!

When you finish the game, they make you err something and I need to go fetch it there, anyone know where it is?
