Best The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 35FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB 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 runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 35 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 52 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 30 FPS at 4K. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 8GB 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 FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
