Best Settings for RTX 5070 in Oblivion Remastered

Here are the best settings you should consider using while playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered with your RTX 5070.

Bethesda’s Oblivion Remastered brings a breath of fresh air in terms of modern visuals. The game aligns well with the 2025 Ray Tracing standard and is equally taxing to run. The RTX 5070, today’s mid-range gaming GPU, can run this game at 1440p at around 75-80 FPS, as discussed below. Depending on your setup, you can expect similar or greater performance figures accordingly.

Note: Consider pairing the RTX 5070 with a capable mid-range CPU, such as an Intel Core i5-12600K or Ryzen 5 7600, to avoid CPU bottlenecks.

A few keynotes to consider:

Considering the 5070’s performance, gamers should go with Low Lumen lighting quality.
With these settings, the game uses around 9-10 GB VRAM, the 12GB on the 5070 should handle it quite fine.
If you still encounter performance issues, consider lowering shadows, but keep screen space reflection enabled; it significantly improves the game’s visual appearance. Shadows combined with Lumen lighting greatly tank your FPS.
Foliage quality is maintained to ensure stable frame rates in dense, open-world areas, such as forest biomes.
It is not recommended to keep the DLSS sharpness value above 10, as the image will start to appear artificial, with jagged edges.
Constantly monitor your 1% and .1% FPS with MSI Afterburner (RTSS) and make changes accordingly.
Enable Frame generation only if you have enough VRAM headroom to begin with.
