Best Settings for RTX 3080 Ti in Oblivion Remastered

Use these settings to run Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered with your RTX 3080 Ti, at either 1080p or 1440p.

The 3080 Ti offers a 10-15% upgrade over the stock 10GB 3080 and 5% over the 12GB iteration. It has a higher TDP of 350W from the 320W target, and like the 12GB iteration of the 3080, it offers 12GB VRAM. NVIDIA priced it absurdly at launch and delivered an underwhelming upgrade, but its GPU core performed competently. However, it lacked enough VRAM to justify its Ti title and the raw power it had.

Going back to the Maxwell era, where the 980 Ti offered everything the Titan Maxwell did, but with 6GB VRAM, the 3080 Ti also does the same, offering everything the 3090 does, but with half the VRAM. However, in 2025, the 3080 Ti users needed to do significant tweaking so that games ran properly.

Game developers now gear titles toward the DirectX 12 Ultimate route, but even so, modern games like Black Myth: Wukong make GPUs such as the 5080 and 5090 feel like mainstream products.. Follow the settings below and use them while playing Oblivion Remastered for the best possible experience.

Note: Pair the 3080 Ti with at least a Core i5-10600K or a Ryzen 5 5600X to avoid CPU bottlenecks.

A few keynotes to consider:

Although we designed these settings for 1440p and 1080p, you can use them at 4K. Just turn down the textures and post-processing, and use the performance upscaling mode.
If you need more performance, consider disabling RT with mods available from Nexus Modz; editing the .ini files also works fine.
Switch to the DLSS 4 transformer model via DLSS swapper or the Nvidia app. The bushes, mesh, and the overall image quality will greatly improve.
DLSS Frame generation is unavailable natively, and you need to use lossless scaling to achieve it. The FSR implementation in this game isn’t in decoupled mode, and it doesn’t allow you to use DLSS alongside FSR frame gen.

In 2025, the 3080 Ti still packs a lot of punch; its performance is around the 4070 Super level in games with even optimization. In newer games, the 4070 Super takes quite a lead. Use these settings as a baseline, and depending on your setup, CPU, RAM, PSU, etc., customize everything to fit your needs.
