I know this is going to sound like copium, but I love having to fiddle with settings to get original Oblivion running on my 2019 X1 Carbon. It gives me this nostalgia feeling of where I first ran oblivion on PC on my Dell E310 with a Pentium 4 single core and GeForce 6200LE I pencil modded. I’m having to run out at 720p and 4x AF, but it feels like Xbox 360 to me and I love
Running on underpowered hardware somehow reminds me of the good (or bad) old days of PC gaming where individual settings could make a huge difference.
Shadows off: Smooth
Shadows on: Unplayable
Now it is almost always unplayable, but the settings on don’t really make a difference
I miss having the spare time necessary to enjoy fiddling with settings.
Fiddling with settings is ok, but I don’t have time to spend trying to get a game to work. Like i game on Linux and 90% of games just work for me. A few years ago they didn’t and I stuck to windows for gaming. I have no time to figure out why sound doesn’t work in Skyrim lol.
But it works now
I have the model with the i7. Yeah, it’s playable
Ughhh you have UHD620. I also have a ThinkPad T14s with Ryzen 4750U and my APU should be more powerful. Do you have any luck of running the Oblivion in a playable manner?
I have the i7 in it. Oblivion plays about as well as it did at release. lol like I’m not pushing it maxed and graphics mods are out
