Nvidia's graphics cards seemed to perform much better, as the GTX 560 managed 89fps versus the HD 6850's 77fps.
Different thread I think -assuming you're talking about the performance review:Thats sort of a puzzling comment. The GTX 560 is $50.00 more than the 6850, and the 6850 passes up the 560 at higher resolution.

The GTX 560 vs HD 6850 might be more of an academic exercise I would have thought. The HD 6850 "takes the lead" once you game at 2560x1600 resolution...I'm not entirely sure that many gamers would pop for a $1+ screen but only use a fair-to-middling graphics card tbh.
Probably closer to $130 vs $165. The 6850 probably still edges the 560 in bang-for-buck, although a $70 difference in CFX vs SLI (a more probable setup for 2560x1600 I would think) would swing in the 560's favour. I'd probably say the contest is a wash overall- especially if the likely user is playing RPG's in general rather than just TESVIf you forget about the 2560 screen (included in the review) you still have a $150 card vs a $200 card
Well, that's a different matter entirely...and probably better suited to the performance review thread.Kind of an odd statement when you have the comment "we are disappointed with the 6950" when it performs within 3 FPS of the $100 more GTX 570 as well
They are kind of easy and don't fly quite right for being a dragon-centric game. But they are pretty cool enemies to fight. Always gets my adrenaline pumping when one lands right in front of me and I have to run for my life from it's breath!ramonsterns said:
Issues Not Mentioned:
- Dragons are push overs and broken.
I don't agree. The lighting and distant land looks amazing. I am running fully maxed, however.ramonsterns said:
- Inconsistent Graphics. Half the light sources will be real time, the other half will be cooked in. Great textures on NPCs, terrible textures on rocks/wood. The poor quality of distant lands will make you gouge your eyes out as you witness a blocky mess of islands in the distance.
Economy balance is less important in a single player game with a completely open world, but I think it's good. Some things are surprisingly well rewarded, while others give no reward at all other than a thank you.ramonsterns said:
- Delivering a letter to the next town? Here's 500 gold. Claim the bounty on a dragon? Here's 500 gold. Run across the map and kill an entire group of bandits? Here's 100 gold. Can you tell what's wrong?
At least you don't get stuck in the walls. Trade off I'm willing to make.ramonsterns said:
- Armor and Weapon clipping rampant.
Sounds like a cheating exploit. Up to you to take advantage.ramonsterns said:
- Broken Smithing/Enchanting/Alchemy system. You can basically enhance things forever.
I have another... when your save file gets large, it crashes sometimes when you change areas.ramonsterns said:
This is all I can think of off the top of my head.

I'm really not interested in looking for every single bug or visual miscue so I can post ad nauseam about it on various boards. Seems like that's what a lot of people are doing. It's almost a game within the game for them. "Let's see how much minutia I can find wrong so I can ***** about it."
TomSEA said:
Well ramonsterns obviously the glitches you've focused on have obviously completely ruined your gaming experience - you're certainly whining about it enough. You know, when I run into a game I'm disappointed with, I do something novel - I QUIT PLAYING IT and move on to something else.
Maybe you should consider the same.

The ONLY glitch I've gotten so far is that the game crashes every 10 or so hours. I have 47 hours in the game and I've only had 4 crashes. My complaints are the UI and sometimes I wish the dragons were harder. Aside from that I have no complaints.
Great game, I can see myself wasting 100+ hours on my current character. I Usually make 3 characters before I start modding. My current is an Argonian mage(yeah, I know), I was going to be a Nord with blade next and finally a woodelf with bow. After that it's time to make some mods! Hopefully by then they'll have released the Creation Kit as they call it.
