Best Oblivion Remastered settings for Nvidia GTX 1650 and GTX 1650 Super

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered isn't the most forgiving game to play on an Nvidia GTX 1650. The game has been remade from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, which makes it much more demanding on entry-level hardware. The high-resolution textures stress the limited VRAM on the card, making it even harder to maintain 30 FPS. A few settings tweaks are required to get a stable experience.

To help gamers get started, we have compiled the ideal settings list for the 1650 in this article. With this cheatsheet, you can quickly get started in Oblivion Remastered.

Note: These settings work best when the GTX 1650 is paired with a system that matches the minimum system requirements for Oblivion Remastered (AMD Ryzen 5 2600X or Intel Core i7-6800K with 16 GB RAM).

Ideal Oblivion Remastered settings for Nvidia GTX 1650

The GTX 1650 was launched as a 1080p gaming GPU, but it has struggled to keep up at that resolution lately. To maintain a smooth experience, we recommend a mix of Low and Medium graphics options.

Oblivion Remastered supports FSR 3 upscaling, which helps push the framerate to above 30. We recommend the Balanced preset for the best results. You won't get FSR frame generation on this card, which is a missed opportunity, given the GPU's limited compute could have significantly benefited from the tech.

The recommended graphics settings for the card are as follows:

General

Window mode: Borderless
Display resolution: 1920 × 1080
Select monitor: Primary monitor
Resolution scale: 100%
V-sync: Off
Frame rate limit: 60 FPS
Show FPS: On (to monitor dips)
Show VRAM: Off
Brightness intensity: 0
FOV 1st-person: 90
FOV 3rd-person: 90
Motion blur: Off
Screen space reflections: Off (very GPU-intensive)

Quality

Quality level: Custom
View distance quality: Medium
Effects quality: Medium
Foliage quality: Low
Shadow quality: Low
Global illumination quality: Low
Texture quality: Medium (to stay within VRAM limits)
Reflection quality: Low
Post-processing quality: Low
Hair quality: Low
Cloth quality: Low
Lumen hardware RT: Off
Lumen hardware RT lighting mode: Off
Lumen software RT quality: Off

Advanced

Anti-aliasing: FXAA (fallback option, TSR is too heavy)
Upscaling technique: FSR
FSR 3 mode: Balanced
FSR 3 sharpness: 0
FSR 3 frame generation: Off
DLSS mode: N/A (GTX cards don’t support DLSS)
XeSS mode: Off (1650 not optimized for it)
Nvidia Reflex: Disabled

Ideal Oblivion Remastered settings for Nvidia GTX 1650 Super

The GTX 1650 Super isn't much faster than its original sibling. We recommend a similar mix of Low and Medium settings, with a few minor options cranked up for slightly better fidelity. With FSR 3 upscaling turned on, you can expect 45-55 FPS in the title.

The recommended settings are as follows:

General

Window mode: Borderless
Display resolution: 1920 × 1080
Select monitor: Primary monitor
Resolution scale: 100%
V-sync: Off
Frame rate limit: 60 FPS
Show FPS: On
Show VRAM: Off
Brightness intensity: 0
FOV 1st-person: 90
FOV 3rd-person: 90
Motion blur: Off
Screen space reflections: Off

Quality

Quality level: Custom
View distance quality: Medium
Effects quality: Medium
Foliage quality: Low
Shadow quality: Low
Global illumination quality: Low
Texture quality: Medium (stays within VRAM limit)
Reflection quality: Low
Post-processing quality: Medium
Hair quality: Low
Cloth quality: Low
Lumen hardware RT: Off
Lumen hardware RT lighting mode: Off
Lumen software RT quality: Off

Advanced

Anti-aliasing: FXAA
Upscaling technique: FSR
FSR 3 mode: Balanced (or Performance if you want extra FPS)
FSR 3 sharpness: 0.2 (for a crisper look)
FSR 3 frame generation: Off (unsupported on GTX cards)
DLSS mode: Off
DLSS frame generation: Off
XeSS mode: Off
Nvidia Reflex: Disabled

The GTX 1650 and 1650 Super aren't the fastest GPUs on the market. They are over three generations old but still manage to keep up with the latest titles with upscaling. Players can have a pretty playable experience in Oblivion Remastered with the above settings applied.
