So, you want The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered to look as shiny as Bethesda promised? Well, grab your wallet and hope your PC isn’t still living in 2015.
Here’s what you actually need to hit those recommended specs and enjoy Cyrodiil in all its Unreal Engine 5 glory—without your rig sounding like it’s about to take off.
Recommended PC Specs for Oblivion Remastered
OS: Windows 10 or 11 (with all those fun updates you’ve probably been ignoring)
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X or Intel Core i5-10600K
Translation: A solid mid-tier CPU from a couple of years ago.Memory: 32 GB RAM
Yes, you read that right. Oblivion went from "can run on a toaster" to "needs a small server."Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT or NVIDIA RTX 2080
Basically, you’ll want a GPU that doesn’t flinch at modern games.DirectX: Version 12
If you're still on anything older, it’s time for a life update.Storage: 125 GB of free space
And yes, an SSD is required—because loading screens from a hard drive would probably last longer than some side quests.
A Few Things to Note
No RTX Required: Even though it’s flashy, Oblivion Remastered doesn’t demand ray tracing. It uses Unreal Engine 5’s Lumen system for lighting, which your GPU can handle through software if needed.
Why So Much RAM? Modern textures, detailed landscapes, and those millions of polygons aren’t going to render themselves.
Performance Scales: The better your hardware, the smoother your trip through Cyrodiil. If you're sitting above these specs, expect 60 FPS at 4K. If you're below... well, maybe it’s time to embrace "cinematic" frame rates.
Final Blurb
In short, Oblivion Remastered isn’t here to play nice with your aging PC. If you want those beautiful sunsets over the Imperial City without stuttering every time you turn the camera, aim for these specs or better. Otherwise, you might be tweaking settings more than closing Oblivion Gates.
