Best Settings for RTX 4070 in Oblivion Remastered

These settings are optimized to get the best out of your RTX 4070 in Oblivion Remastered, striking a balance between visuals and performance.

NVIDIA released the RTX 4070, a capable mid-range GPU, back in 2022. Although NVIDIA initially targeted the 4070 for 1440p gaming, in 2025, game optimization has made it a 1080p gaming card. Despite its drawbacks, including 12 GB of VRAM and not aging well enough, the GPU core within is capable, as it can play Oblivion Remastered with some tweaking. Below are the settings to consider when playing the game with your RTX 4070.

Note: For Oblivion Remastered, another UE5 title infamous for microstuttering, it is best to cap your framerate a few frames per second (FPS) below your monitor’s refresh rate and then play. You will likely be CPU-bound for RT if you pair your 4070 with a mainstream CPU. Switch to DLSS 4 via the Nvidia app or DLSS Swapper to leverage the benefits of the Transformer model, including improved image quality and clarity.

A few keynotes to consider:

For the optimal experience, stick with the RT settings mentioned below.
GPUs with 12GB of VRAM handle the high-texture models well.
Keep the Screen Space values as discussed here; they enhance the game’s visual appearance.
Use RTSS to cap your framerate, for a smooth frame time graph
Enable or Disable Frame Generation depending on VRAM headroom.
Nvidia Reflex can reduce the latency between frames, but remember, this is even more intensive on the CPU side. If you have a fast CPU, consider enabling this option.
DLSS Frame Generation also helps in CPU-bound scenarios; keeping it at the automatic or enabled state will help.
The game and its default settings below enable RT and do not allow you to turn it off.

That wraps up the recommended RTX 4070 settings for Oblivion Remastered. Remember to monitor your frametimes, micro-stutters, 1% and 0.1% lows, and even cap framerates. Disabling RT via .ini tweaks may boost performance, but it fundamentally changes the visual fidelity that defines Oblivion Remastered and UE5.
