The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

The game loses much of its visual appeal without HDR. Although some gamers argue that point, we think TES IV looks best with enabled FP HDR and test it in this mode.

We already know that Oblivion is quite satisfied with 512 or even 256 megabytes of graphics memory. There is no wonder then that the Bliss 8800 GTS 1024MB is 5-6% ahead of the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB. It’s due to the increased core frequency. There is no difference between the participating graphics cards: every one of them copes with the task of delivering 60fps even in open game scenes.
