Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a fantasy world, moving through one continuous open world. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. There are 6 official screenshots to judge the look from. The view is from a first person view.
Why The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is demanding
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting AMD Radeon RX 6800XT or NVIDIA RTX 2080, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered at the floor and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered at the recommended tier are not the same experience. At 32 GB, the RAM requirement is the one most likely to catch an otherwise capable PC out. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. Budget around 125 GB of storage for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and it must be an SSD.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered?
Free up space before installing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered: it needs roughly 125 GB of SSD storage. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, AMD Radeon RX 5700, NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti and 16 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: RAM
Large install. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered needs about 125 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 0.9x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.51x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.23x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
