The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered PC Performance Review and Optimisation Guide
4K Performance
Oblivion’s 4K Performance
[Update – August 2nd 2025] Sapphire has sent their Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9060 XT Pulse graphics cards for games testing. This has allowed us to add AMD’s RDNA 4 GPUs to our recent games performance analysis articles. Data for these GPUs is now included below. Note that this data is from the game’s newest update, update 1.2.
4K can bring even the best hardware to its knees, and that is especially true for Oblivion Remastered. Remember, if we crank this game up to ultra, framerates will be much lower. Even with more conservative settings, it is clear that gamers need some powerful graphics cards to play this remaster at native 4K. Our TX 4070 Ti and RX 7900 XT simply aren’t enough.
Once again, upscaling can give us much better results. Due to the demanding nature of our testing area, average framerates of near-60 FPS here will deliver us 60+ FPS framerates for most of the game. If you can get near 60 FPS framerates, Frame Generation could also be used to increase this game’s smoothness.
While users can buy powerful enough hardware to brute force this game into higher framerates, the clever use of graphical settings can do great things here. With high settings, FSR, and frame Generation, 4K (or faux-K) at 120+ FPS is possible.
