Without it everything feels a bit flat and washed out. But I've left most other things set to medium or high, including grass draw distance - I like grass )īest of all I've got HDR enabled, and it really does make a difference to the quality and feel of the colour and light in the game. Running at 848 x 480 I've disabled anti-aliasing, turned water quality down to normal and disabled all other water effects. Such a shame considering how well my iMac copes with Half-Life 2 and Tomb Raider Legend.Īfter a lot of tinkering I found that I preferred to run it at a lower resolution but with everything at a better quality.
But to get it to run at a decent framerate most things had to be turned off or down - though I have always had it running with max view distance and far lands enabled. I wish the game allowed you to change resolution without restarting cause I'd go for higher resolution in town and dungeons and then drop the resolution for outdoor areas.Īfter checking out the disappointing slideshow effect of full 1680 x 1050 resolution with everything maxed out, I was for a while running the game at 1280 x 720. You can set the resolution to 1400X900 but my framerates dropped to around 10-12 fps so I had to turn off 'Bloom' to play it well. Some people turn their draw distance down but high resolution makes the game pretty enough and the draw distance doesn't seem to affect my framerate much. I thought the grass hindered the gameplay anyways since you couldn't see more than 10ft. Cranking up the resolution helps a lot but to get it to run smooth I turned off all shadows and set the grass draw distance to zero. I found turning off AA or HDR eliminated the stuttering when big time effects were onscreen but it looks horrible. It also took a severe performance hit around an Oblivion Gate. The settings I feel give the best bang for the buck, so to speak, are to set the resolution to 1280x720 with Anti-Aliasing turned off and effects set to 'Bloom' rather than 'HDR.' I used to run the game at low resolution with AA turned to 6X and it looked fine and run smooth as butter but when spell effects came on screen or when the Daedra Lords turned back into human form when killed the game dropped to a slideshow. I have 1GB of RAM if that will help you compare our systems. I've played the game ad nauseum now on my 17" iMac.
