Oblivion Remastered runs a lot better with DLSS 4 enabled — Here’s how to force the override

On April 22, 2025, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered was released, and within a single day, it soared to number one on Steam’s Best Sellers chart, attracting over 100,000 gamers.

As gamers re-enter the realm of Cyrodiil, it’s evident that the game’s transition to Unreal Engine 5 places significant strain on personal computers designed for gaming.

If you own an NVIDIA graphics card, particularly an RTX 50 series model, there’s exciting news! You can tweak settings through the NVIDIA application to noticeably enhance its performance.

All it requires is a few clicks in NVIDIA’s software. Here’s how it’s done.

How to enable DLSS 4 overrides in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered

If you’ve got the remastered version of Oblivion installed on your computer and your NVIDIA graphics driver is up-to-date, you’re all set to start playing!

  1. Launch the NVIDIA App on your PC.
  2. Click Graphics on the left-side vertical menu.
  3. Click The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered in your list of games.
  4. Click the drop-down menu next to the DLSS Override – Model Presets option in the main list.
  1. Click the drop-down menu in the Use same settings for all DLSS technologies.
  2. Click Latest.
  1. Click Apply.

You’ve just configured Oblivion Remastered to utilize the latest NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) 4 Transformer whenever applicable. This change should deliver an appreciable increase in frames per second (FPS).

Frame Generation is the next stop on our performance journey.

If your system has an RTX 50-series graphics card capable of Multi-Frame Generation, I recommend you try the 4x setting for optimal frames-per-second performance.

  1. Launch the NVIDIA App on your PC.
  2. Click Graphics on the left-side vertical menu.
  3. Click The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered in your list of games.
  4. Click the drop-down menu next to DLSS Override – Frame Generation.
  5. Click 4x.

The visually stunning remake of Oblivion places a greater demand on your computer’s hardware due to its upgraded graphics and lighting now powered by Unreal Engine 5.

As a researcher examining the game performance, I ran tests on an ultrawide 1440p setup with Ultra settings, and my system comprising AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU and NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti struggled to achieve three-digit frames per second (FPS) while navigating the game world.

Following the mandate for NVIDIA to employ their latest Transformer model, there’s been an increase in frame rates, making the game appear significantly more detailed and clear.

Kindly share your thoughts about the changes in the comment section, explaining how they impacted your overall experience.

What about NVIDIA RTX 40- and 30-series GPUs?

It seems that NVIDIA’s Multi Frame Generation using DLSS 4 is only available on the newest RTX 5000 graphics cards.

Yet, just because it might not be the norm, it doesn’t exclude the possibility of using overrides with an RTX 40 or RTX 30 series NVIDIA graphics card.

As an enthusiast, I’d say any NVIDIA RTX card I own can adjust settings for the Transformer-based Super Resolution, but when it comes to the newest RTX 40-series, I get to enjoy the cutting-edge standard of Frame Generation, minus Multi Frame Generation.
