Hi, I have a MBP earlie 2008.
2.4 GHz, 8600GT 256 MB, 4096 MB Corsair memory.

What kind of settings should I use in Video to get the optimal performance?

Resolution?
Tree Fade?
Actor Fade?
Item Fade?
Object Fade?
Grass Distance?
Distant Land? on/off?
Distant Buildings? on/off?
Distant Trees? on/off?
Int. Shadows?
Ext. Shadows?
Self Shadows? on/off?
Tree Canopy Shadows? on/off?
Specular Dist?
HDR Lightning? on/off? only works with off, or else i get black screen.
Bloom Lightning? on/off?
Water Detail?
Water Reflections? on/off?
Water Ripples? on/off?
Window Reflections? on/off?
Blood Decals?
Anti-aliasing?

I play in MAC OS X, not via Bootcamp and Windows.
This is Mac version of the game!

Thanks in forward

Oblivion was never made for Mac OS X. So there's no possible way you could be playing it that way.

It could be a cider port? I've heard of one floating around. Not sure how well it would run, but I'd messed around w/ Oblivion in bootcamp on my MacBook w/ similar specs and it didn't have much issue. Sorry this isn't much help but IF it is a Cider port, it's hard to say, usually they won't run as well but decent. You prob will have to turn down a few things.. but why not just try it =)

*edit* re-read what exactly you're asking lol

I would turn off all shadows, anti-aliasing for sure, water detail, HDR, specular, and lower fade for most of those above. I love draw distance though esp for a game like that so if you can sacrifice a few things for max draw I would. Also lower resolution will help.
