Best Oblivion Remastered settings for Nvidia RTX 3050

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered can be fairly demanding on entry-level hardware such as the RTX 3050. Despite being two generations old, the card can still hold its ground in the latest video games with a few tweaks to the graphics options. The latest Bethesda title doesn't look visually appealing on the 50-class GPU, but a decent playable experience is possible.

In this article, we have listed the ideal graphics options for the 3050. Use these settings for a balanced 1080p experience at 60 FPS in the remaster of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Note: These settings work best when the RTX 3050 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 RTX 3050

The RTX 3050 was originally introduced for 1080p gaming, and it keeps up at the resolution fairly well to this date. However, you'll have to rely on a mix of Medium and High settings to maintain a playable experience. This is primarily to fit the limited VRAM buffer on the 50-class GPU (it applies more for those on the 6 GB variant).

Oblivion Remastered bundles support for FSR 3 with frame generation, which helps keep the performance relatively high in the title. Given the extra headroom, you can even consider turning ray tracing on while not dipping below 60 FPS.

The recommended settings for the 3050 are as follows:

General

• Window mode: Borderless
• Display resolution: 1920 × 1080
• Select monitor: Primary monitor
• Resolution scale: 100%
• V-sync: Off
• Frame rate limit: Uncapped (let FSR FG handle pacing)
• Show FPS: On
• Show VRAM: Off

Overall, the Nvidia RTX 3050 isn't the fastest GPU on the market. However, with FSR 3 frame generation, it now has some extra shelf life. The above settings list, for instance, helps the GPU deliver well above 60 FPS in Oblivion Remastered.
