oblivion and 7800gtx

I am sure you guys have heard of the upcoming elder scrolls oblivion. I am wondering if my evga 7800gtx will play it at high settings. I realize this is mere speculation since the game hasn't been released but i am just wondering what you guys think.

I don't think you'll have any problems at all.

This information was pulled from the Official Site. Your 7800 shouldn't have a problem at all running most, if not all, the settings on max. Personally, my new x800GT02 (new build on the way), I'm not so sure about it being able to run the game with the settings turned up, but we shall see.

If anything will, the 7800GTX will. You do have a top-of-the-line card in the 7800GTX - I'd be surprised if it doesn't play at almost everything maxed out.

It may not play at the very highest settings, but most games anymore are designed with a few years lead time built into the graphics so that it will lookbetter as time goes on. I wouldn't worry about that though. It will still look great, even if you can't just max all the sliders out.
