Best Settings for RTX 3060 in Oblivion Remastered

Here are the best settings for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered to play with Steam’s most popular GPU – RTX 3060

Oblivion Remastered brings in a lot of nostalgia from 2006. The newest iteration, built on Unreal Engine 5, offers a beautiful reincarnation of the old game, reconstructing everything in a modern avatar. The game’s success, despite performance issues, proves that the community craves gameplay and storytelling over fancy visuals. Although the game boasts incredible visuals, it also comes with numerous problems.

GPUs like the 3060 won’t be able to run it in maxed-out settings, but turning down the visuals too much will make the game look lifeless. Refer to the settings mentioned below for a balance between frames and performance.

Note: Use the default CNN model (DLSS 3.7) in this game. Switching to the Transformer model improves image quality, but the performance hit it carries makes us recommend against doing so.

A few keynotes to consider:

Using mods is the only way to disable RT in this game; doing so will alter the game’s appearance and gameplay.

Consider leaving SSR off (Screen Space Reflections) as suggested below for optimal performance.

If you absolutely need FG, then you must use Lossless Scaling to do so, as the game’s FSR implementation isn’t in decoupled mode. Therefore, you cannot use DLSS and FSR framegen together.

Continue to monitor your 1% and 0.1% lows, and adjust these settings as needed.

You can expect an average of around 65 FPS with these settings. Please note that the frame rate may drop depending on your location.
