Oblivion Remastered PC: impressive modernisation blighted by dire performance problems

Elder Scarrels 4: Olivion Remaster is an interesting idea: Bring the original game engine into the modern era, strategic changes in the gameplay – but with the original remistrator lion handling the unrealistic engine 5 wrapper. Of course, this concept is nothing new. We have seen it work beautifully in the shadow game of the Blue Point, and we have seen that the Grand Stolen Auto Tri’s final edition works less. Betasda game studios works in the context of providing the classic origin to the fully modernized, but the problems coming from the original game are intact, while the overall performance has massive, very disturbing problems. If you are historically linked to the BGS Games with ‘Junk’, you may be fine with it, but we are not.

From a video point of view, the digital foundry has already provided its first offer – one of our favorite frequently -run series, a new event of PC Retro Time Capsule. Here, we started the Olivion Remsted using both the 2025 and the OG 2006 codes. Today’s RTX 5090 game is running on a maximum of 4K resolution, stacking against the launch version of the real Obian, which is running on Pentium D, which is folded with Redon X1800 XT. In a 52 -minute event, you will be praised for the re -operating work limit, which has come from the gaming graphics in the last 19 years.

Limited multinational budgets, basic impacts and light struggles to be closer to a real world – which is calculated challenging even when it was considered to be the path to hardware at the high end. My play Throw on the original game is less than every scale standard on the Remasurated version from John Linman’s experience. Impact of Unrealistic Engine 5 – Nant Virtual Geometry, Lemon Global Illumination and Virtual Shadow Maps have been deployed, providing far more realistic, excellent world. Although at the same time, there is something ‘off’ about the lighting: the radical change here is probably that a step is far from the remarkable environment of the original. Performance is extremely variable, turmoil is common, and looking at John’s matching gameplay in the new version, I had my concerns.

Once I went hand in hand with the new version, the basis of these concerns was well established – there are serious problems that should be addressed. When Elder Scarbs 4: Olivion launched in 2006, it challenged PC hardware with its open world and shader model three graphics – but today’s performance performance has been widely forgotten. Go back and play it on the proper hardware, and it’s easy to see that Obayovan faces his own upset problems. Walking in the world of sports every time a new world grid player would have been behind and behind and died. History repeats myself with a new remaster of this week-and it’s probably the worst running in which I have experienced for digital foundry.

Even if you are running the most powerful hardware nearby, it is amazing to make a riot, and dragging the experience to a place where I really do not understand how to release it. And beyond hesitation, we’re looking at one of the most strange resources-related sports that I’ve ever experienced-so even if you are fine with turmoil, you will just reject the settings to keep the average frame rate acceptable.

Riot or haching is usually a CPU -based problem, which can often be reduced by trying to minimize visual standards, reduce frame rate and minimize CPU -based riots by buffering. In fact, you are masking CPU problems through the FPS caps, instead of using extra processing time to increase visual loyalty. I tried to use ultra -high resolution with the frame rate cap but even the powerful Raisen 7 9800x3d – the fastest gaming CPU can buy money – can specialize in the tumultuous problems of the game. This is a fundamental problem when an important part of the gameplay is found in revolving and rotating around the environment – I have not found a way to get a smooth trouser, which primarily affects the experience.

Making this problem complicated is that most people do not have highly capable CPUs, which means that there is a lot of turmoil in the mainstream parts. A rising 5 3600 is already seen at the height of 9800x3d, a faulty frame time, which extends from 2x to 2.5X, resulting in destructive performance. Bakhobi, Raizen 5 3600 is now an old hat, so many gamers have moved to the mainstream parts – but at a midway point between our two test processors, you are seeing a terrifying experience.

If you are looking for a high average frame rate, this is the place where we usually rotate with better settings – but the problem is that we can find only one setting that can make a difference. CPU performance improves by disabled the hardware RT -based lemon global ulceration.

By choosing a software replacement (as used on consoles), the performance can increase by 35 35 %. Technically, when the CPU is limited, it is a good improvement, but in many areas the game looks bad. The reflection of the water is clearly poor, while the acidity shade and lighting are heavily down – so there is no free lunch here. The bad news is that despite this reduction, the amount of game riots does not improve.

Reducing other settings shows a relatively IMP improvement with mass loss of quality. Everything is minimal, limited performance from CPU only increases an average of 10 10 %, with only a very minor improvement in riot problems and a huge downside grade in game visuals. Improved settings suggest that we can end with more experience, but with this game it is only impossible because it stands. I can’t understand much of the CPU’s performance on it is so terrifying and why adjustment in settings helps so little. In the shortest settings, the game is not attractive – and in some cases much worse than the origin of 2006. It’s just bad.

Now, there may be many Elder Scroll fans who have no objection to Janki Stators and they want better GPU performances as the game also manages more taxes on graphics hardware. I have some recommendations. First of all, stay with the hardware lemon, because the light that is produced on the plants is much better, where the software can look like the lemon screen space effect.

Next, drop the quality of the hardware lighting mode from the bottom. This setting reflects light with surface cache rather than lighting, so the items in the reflection lose the shadow of speculation and their rays-but when they are in full view on the screen, they will run 16 % better than every other settings. It is worth the Mid -distance GPUs, though software should probably use lemon despite the shortage of graphics cards.

The rest of the settings run according to the standards set by the UE5’s out -of -the -box settings menu. Basically, the high layout runs a good deal better than the minimum quality loss for each element with a minimum quality loss. Reducing high efficiency from epic to high efficiency reduces the quality (if any) damage to 38 % with loss (if there is any), so it is definitely a way to go.

And it should have been the end of this piece – but just before the publication, a new patch for the PC version of the game came down, that is, we had to check our data on the changes. It offered far more challenges than expected because on the game pass version used for testing, advanced options disappeared. As close to the testing that we can findThe same turmoil has been presented – so let’s be clear here – as long as Bethesda and Virtus remove basic CPU -based problems in this port, there is no way that we will class as acceptable performance for the modern PC game.
