Best The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered settings for the Intel Iris Xe (96EU — 11th/12th Gen laptop) (2026)

On a Intel Iris Xe (96EU — 11th/12th Gen laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered runs at roughly 29 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 12FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Iris Xe (96EU — 11th/12th Gen laptop) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 29 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 12 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 29 FPS at 1080p and 17 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 10 FPS at 4K. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered offers ray tracing, but the Intel Iris Xe (96EU — 11th/12th Gen laptop) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	12	29

💡 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered: UE5 rendering over the original engine - prone to traversal stutter; upscaling helps a lot.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
