Hi. (see edit)

Only suggestion then, is experiment with settings.
Not everything, but it should not take more than 20 minutes to up your fps by a couple.

1 - Turning off distant lands will allways improve fps arround Erothin, Dark Forrest etc. But remember to turn on when you leave these places or it spoils the whole look of Nehrim.
2 - Turn off shadows and turn down visibility settings by about 50%, test too see how much fps increases. If it increases enough for you, start increasing or turning back on what you miss most. Increased my fps by appx 10-13 in Erothin doing this. But everyones system is different. My way of thinking is to get a decent match of graphics and fluid play.

EDIT::

Another suggestion. Have you tried using OSR (Oblivion stutter removal).
I have just had a huge drop in performance on my pc (all my fault), have changed to win7 32 bit (having problems with mkv media files on 64bit) and it hits performance. Also now have some high textured mods in game. Bottle necked my pc .
So I decided to put on OSR, have turned multi-threading on in Nehrim setup , enabled it in the OSR ini.
Have set OSR to min fps 15 and max fps 40.
Only tested for a little while, but it is the first time I have ever crossed the bridge into Erothin without my fps dropping into single figures.

Im glad you come with suggestions, bro, but obviously turning down graphics will/might improve performance. The thing is just, that with my hardware, default oblivion runs with like 100 FPS, but Nehrim at most times runs at 20-30 FPS. I find it mysterious that the performance is downed so much comparing to default. I think the team should do their best to address this.. Its an absolute brilliant mod, but it is really possible that it cannot be optimized better?

Hi.

but it is really possible that it cannot be optimized better?

I doubt it could be optimized better. Which is why any suggestions I can think of only improve (if poss) fps a little bit.

The reason I am doubting much improvement, is the other day I turned on my sli visual indicator (only used it once before) and if I am right in what that little green bar was indicating, the only way I could improve Nehrim anymore would be to upgrade processor or oc the one I have.
If I am wrong please tell me, but when the green indicator is small it indicates the game is stressing the cpu, if the indicator goes outwards to the edges it shows gpu usage, this would indicate a possibility of tweaking the gpu's.
The indicator while playing Nehrim shows only cpu stress and almost dissappears completely arround Erohin and other towns.

I now intend to play it at the highest settings with osr installed to give a smooth gameplay even if it is arround the 30fps mark.

i have this same problem, thing is indoors the GPU is being used at around 60 percent, outdoors about 30 percent!!, i also have a GTX 470 which should be able to max out oblivion completly with no lag, something is amiss in this mod.

[milkman]

i cant seem to edit, switching to software sound helped greatly, for the record i have a creative sound card

[himmelslicht]

Can you discribe the locations where this occours?

[bing]

i am havin gthis exact problem as lots and lots of others are .t would seem the fps performance is a major issue with this mod and a fix is sorely needed.I have read all sorts of potential fixes for this problem one of which is experimentally messing with th oblivion .ini to edit the ithreads bit and make sure it is optimised to your cpu,ie ,if you have a quad core it should say 20 ,[or 4x hoever many cores you have,so 4x4 ..20]

Hey everyone.

I've a lil' problem. I was enjoying Nehrim and its beauty but suddenly I came across a terrible bug! Everything is perfectly fine until I open "My (secure) chest" in outdoor location. After opening it my FPS goes down to 6, even in menu mode its almost impossible to pick item from inventory or change/do anything. I could not find related topic cuz there are many about FPS but none seemed to mirror my problem.

Sorry for my poor english ;f. I'm looking forward for help.

Yourz faithfuly, Ent.

; (

Edit: funny thing, until I am in chest range ( I mean, until its loaded) my fps is fcked, but when I leave the area, and go back WITHOUT opening it again all will b awww right. For now. I'm going to do some further investigation. Any1 met with problem li3k mine ?

edit2: Nope! When I go out the chest area its aww right until I return to chest area : (

It mar all towns from usage and areas around towns ;_;

[arvisrend]

Can you please upload your savegame? This lag must be related to some scripted item in the chest, and I need to find out what one.

[Entainel]

Oh, scripted you say? It might b hand scythe from harvesting mod! I'm fresh in game, I'm right before going on a mission with Kim(I mean already released Kim).
