Best Settings for RTX 4070 Ti in Oblivion Remastered

Here are the best settings you should absolutely dial in while playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered with your RTX 4070 Ti.

Oblivion Remastered is an incredible visual upgrade over its previous iteration. The game fully utilizes ray tracing from the outset and requires substantial hardware power to run at playable frame rates. Depending on the hardware configuration, the game automatically sets the settings and keeps upscaling enabled by default. But the auto settings can be further tuned to achieve an even better experience. Here are the optimal settings for the RTX 4070 Ti when playing Oblivion Remastered.

Note: For both software and hardware RT modes, you need a capable CPU, such as one well within the 13600K/Ryzen 5 7600 territory, to avoid CPU bottlenecks. Swap in DLSS 4 via the Nvidia app or DLSS Swapper to be more aggressive with the upscaling profile.

A few keynotes to consider:

Lumen hardware RT is more efficient on Nvidia cards, period; the software mode is incredibly taxing on the CPU.
The game utilizes approximately 9–10 GB of VRAM at these settings, making 12 GB of VRAM easily capable of playing this game.
Keep Screen Space Reflections at the settings below for better visual quality with minimal performance impact.
The lowest foliage quality is kept due to maximum GPU performance.
DLSS Balanced mode with a sharpness value of 10 offers the best balance of image quality and performance.
Disabling Frame Generation reduces latency in fast-paced gameplay but lowers the overall frame rate. This is totally up to your perspective.
Additionally, you can use RTGSS (MSI Afterburner) to monitor your frame rates, VRAM usage, and other relevant metrics.
