Oblivion Remastered Patch Review: Performance Insights and Challenges
Earlier this week, the latest patch for Oblivion Remastered debuted, offering some updates aimed at enhancing performance compared to previous iterations. However, despite these improvements, many players find that the game remains far from optimal. Even high-end gaming rigs are encountering difficulties maintaining smooth gameplay at elevated native resolutions without utilizing Frame Generation technology.
Performance Comparison Highlights
A recent analysis by MxBenchmarkPC on YouTube provides illuminating insights into the performance of version 1.2 compared to the game’s initial release. The findings suggest that the anticipated performance enhancements detailed in the patch notes are marginal at best. In a scenario where the graphics processing unit (GPU) is pushed to its limits—specifically, during tests on an RTX 5080 using NVIDIA’s DLSS in quality mode with all settings set to ultra—the results were underwhelming. Despite being one of the most capable GPUs available, it struggled to maintain 60 FPS at 4K resolution and only reached the mid-70s FPS at 1440p.
Implications of CPU and Resolution Limitations
Even in situations where the CPU was the limiting factor, performance remained significantly below expectations given the power of the hardware. At native 4K resolution, players experienced frame rates barely exceeding 30 FPS. With NVIDIA DLSS enabled in quality mode, the performance surged into the 40s FPS range. To exceed 60 FPS, the game relies heavily on Frame Generation—a surprising requirement given the capabilities of modern GPUs. Yet, this situation highlights a troubling trend, as Oblivion Remastered is among several titles powered by Unreal Engine 5 that are struggling to perform adequately on PC platforms.
