Best Settings for RX 9070 XT in Oblivion Remastered

These settings will help you get the best out of your RX 9070 XT when playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

The RX 9070 XT is a complete iteration of the Navi 48 GPU core. It is the current upper mid-range flagship offering from AMD, utilizing its RDNA 4 architecture. With the new GPU architecture, AMD has implemented several significant changes. Gamers can now achieve better performance per watt, stronger ray tracing, and improved software features, such as the FSR 4 upscaler model. Gamers with this GPU will get a good gameplay experience in Oblivion Remastered by following the settings below.

Note: Oblivion Remastered supports FSR 4 upscaler; you need to use the AMD control panel to enable it. The 9070 XT might appear as a 70-class card, but it can sometimes outperform an RTX 5080 in certain games (with tuning). For that, the CPU pairing needs to be at least that level. Our recommendation for a perfect pairing would be a Ryzen 7 9700X or Core i7 14700KF to avoid CPU bottlenecks.

A few keynotes to consider:

You can play at 4K with this card, but for the best possible experience, you need to use FSR quality mode. Based on our observations, FSR 4 Native AA in 1440p appears to be the best option in terms of both visual fidelity and performance.
FSR 4 (AA) partially addresses temporal issues, shimmering, motion artifacts, and ghosting in Oblivion Remastered—resulting in improved image quality.
FSR frame generation produces better results than competitors.
Enable AMD Smart Access Memory if it hasn’t been done already. Resizable or Rebar from the Intel side helps the CPU communicate with the GPU’s VRAM seamlessly.
Continue to monitor the 1% and 0.1% lows, and adjust these settings further to your liking.

The 9070 XT is a fantastic choice for playing Oblivion at 1440p with Native Anti-Aliasing (AA) and ray tracing (RT) enabled. The performance it provides is on par with an RTX 4080 Super, and with frame generation, the experience is just right. You can try 4K with the quality profile, which would yield almost the same results as 1440p with native AA (upscaling performance hit is minimal).
