It's just BAD programming and design. There must be a memory leak too.
And I can run Battlefield 2142 with all setting MAXXED, and that game has higher requirements than Oblivion!
This is one big reason PC Games are dying. Dev's release unfinished crap....

I would suggest you stop over-relying on the negative nabobs in gaming forums so much. Every game that gets released will have its crowd of idiots who'll lie and pontificate and trash the game because it doesn't meet their personal gaming-wackoff fantasy. Somethem regardless of not having actually played it, but because a "friend of a friend" said so.
I have the game (US DVD version). According to Systems Requirement Lab I meet both the miminum and recommended settings.

I'm running a GeForce 6800 with 512MB of video memory and 1.5GB of system memory. I've run it at the higher resolutions, but I can't read the tiny fonts since I won't wear bi-focals to play a computer game so I dropped back to 1024*768. I don't have problems with frame rate and I run most of the video options "on" or set to "high" or whatever the "most eye candy" setting happens to be.
As for the memory leak rumor you glad-handled: there is no evidence of memory leaks. I've played the game for 10+ hours straight and have had no slow downs or performance issues that could give me a reasonable indication that I have a memory leak. I even left the game on over-night (the first night) after playing most of the day and took right-up again in the morning without a problem.
I've also got about 30-hours of play. Not one bug. No crash. No bugs. Nothing.
The biggest complaint I have is that it takes forever for the game to initially load. Once it gets up there, it's not too bad. But that first start-up. Arrrggggggghhhhhhh!!!!! Me want to play NOW!!! Not two minutes from NOW!!!
My experience is that people with these problems usually have crappy (cheap) equiment, too much crap going on in their system, or equipment that's in a marginal failure state.
