    I wanted to play oblivion but it was extremely laggy! This was on 1600x900 with 2x AA! Is this normal? I am on the 6970m!

    No that is not normal. You should be able to max it out...

    What drivers are you running? Did you install them correctly?

    What version are you playing? If you're playing the Steam version there are multiple threads on the forums over there explaining how to fix such issues.

    If you're playing from a disc, then you should trying Googling guides on how to get Oblivion to work with quad core processors; the game has issues on working with quads...or so I'm lead to believe.
