I do have 1GB of VRAM, so I'm sure that factors in heavily on my 'pause time.' BUT, I've not changed my video settings at all! Everything is maxxed except shadows.those are on the stock settings but everything else 8xAA, HDR, distant whatever is maxxed and I'm still getting 60FPS indoors and out roughly 75% of the time.
Wow.it makes SUCH a difference! :Q It does create a bit of a 'pause' when running through an area as the textures for the next area load, but it's really just about a half second pause.not a big deal. I'm happy to report that Qarl's Texture Pack 3 and it's patch (v1.3) work GREAT on my stock (un-modded but patched to v) Oblivion install!
