Oblivion Remaster Performance?

[Omega83]

Hi guys. What is with the game performance? I am trying to play at native 2560*1440 resolution. Some areas are playable, others are really choppy and near unplayable. Here are my laptop specs:

- Nvidia RTX 5060 8GB VRAM
- 32GB DDR5 System RAM 5200 MT/s
- AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX @ 3.60 GHz
- 2x 4TB SSDs

Thoughts and help appreciated 🙂

You have a 5060 8gb GPU, thats probably the reason.

You might want to keep this in mind;
8GB = 1080p
16GB(or anything above 8GB) = 1440p

- Nvidia RTX 5060 8GB VRAM
- 32GB DDR5 System RAM 5200 MT/s
- AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX @ 3.60 GHz
- 2x 4TB SSDs
Make, model and SKU to your laptop?

Make, model and SKU to your laptop?

Based on post history and CPU I would say its this one:

He replaced both ssd inside with 2 x 4tb, which would make finding the model interesting 🙂

Yeah, looks like a classic VRAM bottleneck situation. 8GB at 1440p—especially in a remaster with higher-res textures—can cause exactly those random drops in certain areas.
You could try lowering texture quality first (not resolution), and maybe disable things like ultra shadows or heavy post-processing. Also worth checking if DLSS/FSR is available—it can smooth things out a lot at 1440p.If it runs fine in some areas and tanks in others, that’s usually memory limits being hit rather than raw GPU power.

Hey Omega, I play that game as well. Performance issues are amongst the most common player complaints about the game. However, the 8GB VRAM definitely is a bottleneck. Try reducing resolution or enabling DLSS 4.5 in the driver. This article from Overclock3D explains how you can do it. There are a few different models to choose from so you will have to mess around a bit to find one the produces the best visuals and performance for your tastes.

Some options to lower: set RT Lumen to Software - Low, reduce Global Illumination, Reflections, Shadows, Foliage/View Distance settings down a bit. You'll suffer visual loss but these are the settings that do the most damage to your FPS when set to Ultra, *especially* RT Lumen.

Hope this helps!
