2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

I know this is going to sound like copium, but I love having to fiddle with settings to get original Oblivion running on my 2019 X1 Carbon. It gives me this nostalgia feeling of where I first ran oblivion on PC on my Dell E310 with a Pentium 4 single core and GeForce 6200LE I pencil modded. I’m having to run out at 720p and 4x AF, but it feels like Xbox 360 to me and I love

Which settings? I'm replying from a 2019 X1 Carbon and have that in my Steam library.

[Currently playing Bioshock 2: Minerva's Den via Proton.]

I’m currently running it at 1600x900p large texture, far distance, anti aliasing at 4x., if I drop to 720p, I get a solid 60fps. I’m still tweaking it so I haven’t gotten just right yet.

But I’m surprised at this laptops performance since I got it off an eBay business auction and not for gaming. Lego Harry Potter ran well as well as life is strange and left 4 dead. ETS2 was everything at low at 1080p if I remember correctly

Same. This thing is amazing. Granted, I've always been a Thinkpad fanboy, but this is my first "new" Thinkpad since my T420.
