I've got a copy of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, but I'm not sure it'll run. I tried systemrequirementslab's Can You Run It tool, but I've heard it was occasionally wrong. Basically, CYRI told me that my CPU didn't meet the minimum requirements and that my graphics card wasn't the right type. But other than that, even the specs of the graphics card and the CPU speed pass. Will I still be able to run it? I don't know how to find my system specs on Windows 7, so here's what I rounded up from what CYRI told me. Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 450 @ 2.20GHz Intel(R) G45/G43 Express Chipset 2.0 GB RAM That's all I could find that was useful. Everything else was either up to date or it was something like disc space or sound card. NOTE: We got this game from a friend a while back, and we found out we couldn't run it, so we lent it to her until we could. I was gonna go get it back today, but then I remembred that if we still can't run it then there's no use going to get it.
Look up the oldblivion mod. It was suggested to me by either a mod or admin here, can't remember... I never tried getting it to work since I have the PS3 version now.
Oh.... :< Why doesn't Intel work, anyway? I mean, the specs of it massively exceeds what the game needs.
because they aren't real graphics processors. All they do is offload all the graphics work onto the driver i.e the main CPU,
graphics calculations are highly intensive, especially 3d. the point of a graphics card is it is a processor or processors specifically designed to carry out these calculations, and thus takes a lot of strain off of the main system CPU. Intel graphics chips do exactly the opposite and make the CPU handle all the complex graphics calculations in addition to all the other things it has to do such as AI (also complex and intensive), meaning you need a far more powerful CPU to compensate.
