Whats up guys.
Has anyone tried this texture pack for Oblivion?
http://qarl.rpgmods2.com/Qindex.html
I think it looks amazing. Is anyone here currently using it. If so, what kind of performance decrease would i be looking at?

O, Snap! That looks nice, but nope have not tried it, but i might.
Apparently not alot if you have a 512MB card.
I'm not going near it with my 7600GT.

I tried it just for fun (dragged my system to the ground lol- my other mods probably don't help matters either)... looked beautiful though. If you have the hardware it'll definitely be work checking out. Back up your data folder first though.
When I played Morrowind alot I used a few body/clothing mods by the same author and they were really good. The author made a retexture mod for that game that looked great as well.
I downloaded this...will try it tomorrow, long day at work. I have a x1900XTX so it shouldn't hurt to bad.
I love my body/clothe mods. Nude mods FTW!~ hahaa man i need to go to bed...

I have it and I run at 2560x1024 (no grass) and pull 60fps 99% of the time.
It really does look better...but you need one heck of a graphics card to handle it.

Alright, I downloaded Quarl's Texture Pack III, Its Amazing, it retexures absolutely the entire game.

I use QTPIII on my C2D system (with an 8800gts) and I get a good 60+ fps in all but the most grassy forest areas with every maxed out. I definitely am in love with the mod.

Wow, that looks really nice.
I'd try it on my system, but I already have other high-def mods, and I fear they might conflict.

I have this mod. Run it at 1680x1050 on Ultra high settings. Only lag i see is HDD lag from loading areas. After the area has been loaded no lag. I highly recommend this mod/pack.

lol.
I run the game with 1024x768 with HDR, and it kills my system. 20-30 FPS is what I am getting.... :(

Love it most things cranked in game with QT3 and some other texture mods at 1920x1200. 40-70FPS outdoors its great. Among the other nice FPS I get indoors as well. HDR on, and don't have AA enabled yet.
Is it fully compatible with all of the add ons like nights of the nine and shivering isles plus the newest patch?

QTP II runs great on the system in my sig but III brings it to it's knees unless I drop the graphics settings really low... which at that point is defeating the point.
There are a TON of other really nice texture mods that QTP doesn't change that I think are essential. A lot of the item retexture mods and there are some texture mods that are aimed at retexturing a lot of stuff in specific towns and caves and ruins and things like that.
The QTP's do retexture quite a bit but they are very broad and need the specific texture packs added to it to really get the full experience and anything less than a 8XXX series card will suffer from QTP III.

I could run QTP 3 on my X1900XT with minor slow downs from it. Sure my 2900XT does an even better job at keeping pace with it though.
I'm confused now. This thread is about QTP II, but you guys are talking about III? Is III better than II? And if so where do i get III :beer:

06-04-07, 03:37 PM
Fileplanet has it theres a few other sites, but its big 1.67Gig download. As well of course its better :) Suppositly he is coming out with a QTP 3 for lower end video cards too. Alot of it I think he adds more textures, curious to see what happens when he comes out with 4 with shivering Isles added to it.

Well we started off with QTP II but then i went off talking about QTP III :beer: hehehe sorry meit :beer:
...Suppositly he is coming out with a QTP 3 for lower end video cards too....Yeah, have been waiting on a lower end version of it for some time now. Would be awesome.
Well we started off with QTP II but then i went off talking about QTP III :beer: hehehe sorry meit :beer:
No don't be sorry! I'm an eye candy/detail freak, and you steering me away from II to III is like a HUGE difference! I just gotta say thanks because I'm actually playing through Oblivion again :D
Now just to find a way to download it without waiting forever in line !
I'll throw it on my 7900GS eventually and see what happens.

Ahhh, the beauty of the 8800GTX powering a dell 24007wfp @ max resolution of 1920x1200 with all the setting maxed running 60fps solid, you can't really beat that. Well sli 8800GTX on a dell 3007wfp. That is about it. But still i am going to do the mod just to get the better textures.

Haha, and they aren't Black Pearls either... How dare you :rolleyes:

Well actually, I'm asking because I face the deliema right now of going back to X2/DC Opteron or Conroe. Dual Core A64 will be cheaper but I'm trying to figure out if the performance upgrade won't be worth it. I'm just amazed that it helps out with a 8800 in there.

At that resolution and settings, it won't really matter if it's an X2 or C2D, especially on that game.

Exactly its great :) Even though I have a 2900XT :)
At this res yes CPU Power does play since the game is heavy on CPU resoruces fro the 1.2-1.5 of the cores that it uses. All the more helps expecially in larger area's with lots of items.

AMD 64 4800+X2 stock clock of 2.4ghz. But i have asked people with C2D oc'ed and even they are hitting a max 0f 64fps, the game in general runs around 60-64fps, turn off v-sync and man it launches up to 100+ i will post the fraps logs that i took.

Have you tweaked the INI file for more multi threading?
Yeah, I realize that at higher resolutions that the GPU becomes the bottleneck as where as the CPU is a bottleneck at much lower resolutions (i.e. 1024x768). I'm asking because I have a 144 @ 2.8 and I'm fairly confident in my assumption that at 1680x1050 that the X2 and/or DC Opty will fair higher FPS due to being a faster/dual core CPU than my 144. Just trying to justify spending money I don't have to spend :D

The only think i tweaked in the ini file is the fonts for the DarkUI mod. Thats all, i will run fraps after work when i get home with v-sync on and off and post it up.
You can make it use 2 cores?! :eek:

Yeah it is called the dualcore optimizer from amd. Very Nice, I like.
So i was a little off. Here are the fraps logs as promised
V-sync off
Frames Time (ms) Min Max Avg
39248 508554 0 877 77.176
V-sync on
Frames Time (ms) Min Max Avg
31686 622502 0 64 50.901
Not bad for a stock clock 4800+ X2 and a single 8800GTX @ 1920x1200 res. I think it is time to get that second 8800GTX and thow these babys in SLI. I know for a fact that on my dell2007wfp a native res of 1680x1050 i was pushing 64fps normally, i guess the higher res kille the FPS. O well looks awsome and runs great.
Very nice...
Can you optimize on C2D?

The so called dual core optimizer is nothing other than a little registery and program fix so Windows will utilites AMD's dual cores properly when scheduling tasks.
Its just an overall thing within the INI file that you can increase multithreading instances for physics and such so it will offload more onto the second CPU. In rare cases I've seen it use 50% of the second core most of the time it hovers aroune 10-15% on the other core.

EDIT: Nevermind I think I downloaded the 1.3 patch instead of the entire 2gb zip file. I R TeH Retarted!1!
I downloaded this today and cant seem to get it to work. I dumped it in my C:\Bethesda\Oblivion\data file and when I choose data files in the launcher it isnt there. I loaded the game up but it's not running. same graphics.
I tried using the file date changer thinking maybe it was the 1.2 patch or something and that didnt do anything either. How are you guys getting this to run?
I made my own omod installer and installed it using the omod manager ;)

Works for me. Like the last post said download the oblivion mod manager and follow the installation instructions in the qarls tp3 readme. It looks pretty awesome but the load times outdoors are atrocious. I wish I had a raptor 150.
raid 0 also does the trick to cut loading times....with QTP v3 and raid i had the same loading times as vanilla oblivion....
I ran TP v3 along with a load of other visual mods....the omod manager told me if there were any conflicts....
mods used included - Quarls TP v3, Better Water, Improved Doors Trees and Flora, Better Night Sky, multiple LOD improvement mods, Better Grass with no tiling, High Res Book Jackets, and of course BTMod :D
to name but a few :p
I'd love to know the rest of the best graphics improving mods out there. Then I can play through oblivion again when I get a next gen card and be like "wow":bday: I'll probably grab a new hard drive too as soon as seagate makes a 10,000 rpm perp next gen mega hd.
Looks like a new hard drive is unnecessary. I used a performance tip I found in a guide to increase the amount of ram used by the game to cut down on loading. If you have 2 gigs go into your oblivion ini. file and do this
iPreloadSizeLimit=262144000
No more annoying stuttering. Man the more I play with this mod the more I'm amazed by it. Get it now.
Found a site that consolidates links to different texture mods many of which are compatible with qtp3.

wow that looks really good...I may have to reinstall it & play again with that nice texture mod...
btw anyone have a good link for this nude patch? :bday: :clap:
thanks
Bump for a really great mod. If you haven't tried it just please do it if you're card can take it. I'm not proud of this but I admit I expected something amateurish being a home made mod and all. This mod makes almost the entire game so much more beautiful. I beat it along time ago but I can't stop walking all over the world just to see all of the new graphics. This is what oblivion was meant to be. Remember to get qarl's texture pack 3, the latest. You'll be glad you did:clap:
