I don't thing Oblivion will run on your system. Check these stats...

Recommended:

Minimum System Requirements:

You don't even make the minimum requirements, and for a graphic-heavy game like this that spells certain doom. It's called common sense...

ok so i HAVE A delema...the system requirements lab says i dont meet the requirements because my video card ..a nvidia GeForce Go 6150 and it says it onlt has 64mb or ram and i should have 256....my preocessor owns and so does my system ram 1000mb ....can i still run this game ??? thanks!DrummerShane12

I assume youre trying to play it on a laptop. Just for reference, the GeForce Go 6150 is a fairly old card even though it is common in a brand new systems. For reference, see this list of benchmarks

It won't run too great with that video card, regardless how much ram you have.

As other have said Oblivion on the PC runs very poorly on some of the older cards.  However, the most important thing to remeber about Oblivion and video cards is this.  If your card is not on the list of cards supported (or brand new cards that havent made the list yet), then IT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL.  This is one game that does not allow the user to futz around with the minimum requirments.  Your card is either on the list and works or it doesnt.  End of story.  If you are on a notebook and cant upgrade your video card then Oblivion may just be out of the question for you. 

Personaly I hate to recommend this, but if you have a 360 or PS3 then you would do well to get it for either of those if you cant upgrade your video card.  It's a great game on any system, but the PC lets it shine.  Still it's the same game on the consoles, but playing this sort of game via gamepad is not really my bag.  It's better than not playing it at all though.

Actually, you can! I was able to play it with an geforce 4200.  You can use a program

called oldblivion (http://www.oldblivion.com/); it makes the game run very smoothly.

have fun! 

Mine passed the recommended but i still have quite some bad fps when inside some houses and in the wild.

OldBlivion is for "Old" video cards that only run with the earliest Pixel Shaders in Dx8, including the GF4 Titanium cards, and various Radeons in the 8500- 9000- 9100- 9200 family. It also helpd nVidia "FX" cards because those have no native SM 2 functionality (they used an independent pixel shader system).

When we are talking about newer video devices, such as IGPs from ATI and nVidia that are able to handle the SM2, those are supposed to receive only minimal benefit, if any, from OldBlivion. But the FX 5200 and the Radeon 9200/ 9250 are so slow running Dx8 shaders that Oblivion is still relatively slow running under the OldBlivion texture tradeout with those. Your GF4 card was much faster in its day than the "4200" model number seems to reflect.

At the time that the Ti-4200 was still new, model numbers had little direct relationship to GPU speed. The "Ti" part was the primary speed indicator. Compared to the FXes, a Ti-4200 was about at "5750" when both were running Dx8 code. By today, the Ti-4200 ends up being roughly in the Geforce 7300 GT's speed range just from generational improvements.

I played it on a 128meg 6800gt for many months and it was just so close to being able to run it with the candy but every time I entered combat, the FPS struggled and sometimes it would crash. I don't think your card will go close to running it but if you were ever going to upgrade for a game... this is it. The graphics employed are out of this world, nothing before it has come close for me. You WANT to be able to stick on HDR, all the shadows, highest textures and then be able to tweak the graphics to get even more - there's almost no roof to the improvements you can make with better hardware (check out Gamespot's 'Make it Pretty' feature, for example). Do yourself a giant favour: Upgrade. Play this game.TurambarGS

I currently have three PCs here that meet the minimums of Oblivion.  Two are above the Recommended Levels that really is what I think of as the "reasonable minimum".  One has a 6800 GT with 256 MBs of RAM.  It runs Windows2000 only, and in no combat scenes with that one have I seen serious bogging.  It does have some trouble in the deep woods, but not really "bad" there (at 1280 by 1024).  It's the one with a 6600 GT and 128 MBs that has that kind of trouble (below the recommended level).  The PC with the slowest CPU has the fastest GPU (X800 XT-Platinum), and doesn't slow down anywhere.  

I've tested two of those systems with XP as well as Win2K, and there is 10-15% better performance in Win2K.  But even in WinXP, I didn't see any slowdown anywhere with my X800 XT-PE card.   Maybe your 6800 is an "XT", which is a crippled card compared to a GT.
