Kept getting “your gpu is too old” error messages, although I know others have played it online with 980ti. All the google results said to update windows but I wasn’t even on windows. Gave up on it.

In my mind the 980ti is still only a couple years old, so I went to check.

  1. Eight years. Fuck me, I'm still not used to this starting to feel old thing.

Yeah but they say you can run it on a 1070 and that’s basically the same lvl as 980ti

Anyways I saw 980ti benchmarks out there so i don’t think that’s the problem, it’s some dx12 compatibility nonsense. Which shouldn’t be an issue because it supposedly runs on steam deck.

Why would it running on steam deck negate a dx12 comparability issue...

[–] Bye 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because the issue is proton dx12 implementation which steam deck obviously has some workaround for.

Why not lead with that in your original comment lmfao

[–] Bye 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My original comment said I’m not using windows, what the hell else could I be trying to play it on? Sega Dreamcast?

A mac but yeah the GPU wouldn't make sense

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not to mention the game doesn't have an ARM release. If the CPU doesn't rule out Intel Macs, the GPU certainly does.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When was their CPU specified?

It would be a factor when trying to use a recent Mac, they don't have x86 processors.

x86 processors are the default architecture for literally every other PC manufacturer, as well as PC games, which is why you wouldn't normally pull it into question.

I'm well aware :p been dealing with the whole Rosetta thing for a while at the company I work for.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oof. Hope it doesn't impact you too bad

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I get the same error on the same hardware. Luckily, I have a steam deck I can play it on while the issue (hopefully) gets resolved in Proton. It doesn't run very well on the steam deck, though. But it is playable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been running it on my GTX 960. Looks piss poor, but I've been able to play without much issue.

[–] Bye 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much for confirming it’s possible.

Ok maybe I will do a Wendy’s dual boot so I can try to play it. I love oblivion so much and I just want to play TES in space

I Uninstaller graphics drivers on my boyfriends pc and reinstalled them manually to get that fixed. GeForce experience install wasn't working.
