Oblivion Remastered Minimum Specs Guide

So, you’re ready to dive into Oblivion Remastered, but your PC is giving you that "are you sure about this?" look. Before you hit download on that 125 GB monster, here’s what you actually need to run the game without turning Cyrodiil into a slideshow.

Minimum System Requirements

To just get Oblivion Remastered running, here’s what your rig needs:

• OS: Windows 10 64-bit

• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X or Intel Core i7-6800K

• Memory: 16 GB RAM (yes, really—this isn’t 2006 anymore)

• Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 5700 or Nvidia GeForce 1070 Ti

• DirectX: Version 12

• Storage: 125 GB of free space (say goodbye to a few old games)

• SSD Required: No spinning hard drives here—Bethesda demands speed.

Do You Need Ray Tracing?

Nope! Despite using Unreal Engine 5, Oblivion Remastered doesn’t require an RTX card. It runs on UE5’s Lumen lighting system, which can fall back to a software version if your GPU isn’t packing hardware ray tracing. So, your graphics card can breathe a little easier.

How "Playable" Is Oblivion Remastered on Minimum Specs?

Let’s be honest—meeting the minimum specs means you're playing on lower settings, aiming for stable performance rather than eye candy. You’ll probably need to tweak graphics options to keep things smooth, but hey, at least you’ll still get to experience Cyrodiil without upgrading half your PC.

Final Blurb

If you’ve got 16 GB of RAM, a mid-tier GPU from a few years ago, and an SSD, you’re good to go—just don’t expect to max out those Unreal Engine 5 visuals. Oblivion Remastered is definitely "more friendly to modern hardware," but it still asks for a decent setup.

At least you won’t need a new graphics card—because in 2025, that’s practically a win.
