Shivering Isles strain on graphics

Post by lifeishell91 »

I am considering buying Shivering Isles, but my computer is strained playing Oblivion as it is. My only problem is my 128mb graphics card, but Oblivion is still playable. But if I install Shivering Isles, will it still lower my FPS with my current settings (they are already as low as they go) ?

I am pretty sure that Shivering Isles is just new territorry, and it still uses all the core Oblivion AI and exe files. There are new ingredients and monsters, but the core game is the same, and runs the same. I too have a borderline machine and didn't notice any more slowdown with SI than the main core oblivion game. I do not however print my fps, or look at my fps, or anything, so it may run slower and i just didn't notice. But not noticably.
