PC GuideOblivion Remastered mod claims “plug-and-play performance boost” for 8GB graphics cards

The Oblivion Remastered mod scene has introduced some seriously helpful mods since launch, and among the highlights, the performance mods are hard to ignore. We recently put together a list of a few of our favorite Oblivion mods, and first on the list was a “miracle” anti-stutter fix that improves performance and stability, reduces input latency, and enhances picture clarity, all without any visual loss. And it does not stop there. We have just come across another performance boost mod that is designed specifically for 8GB graphics cards and offers optimizations to ensure a smooth 1440p 60FPS gameplay experience. The RTX 2070 Super is focused on in particular. The mod has not gotten much attention from the community yet, so it is hard to judge how well it is working for others, but according to the creator, “This mod drastically made the game perform better and almost completely removed frame stuttering” and is ideal for players who want “A plug-and-play performance boost for Oblivion Remastered”.

This mod was created with help from AI

Yes, that is correct. The creator behind this performance boost mod seems to have used Cascade AI to help write the mod and come up with the most effective optimizations. Since the mod is essentially a simple preset designed for 1440p gaming on 8GB GPUs like the RTX 2070, the AI was able to suggest optimizations to texture streaming, LOD, lighting, and advanced effects to deliver crisp visuals and stable performance. Here is a quick look at the tweaks and settings:
  • Allocates 7GB VRAM for high-resolution textures, reducing pop-in and improving clarity.
  • Balanced LOD and mipmap settings for sharp visuals at 1440p.
  • Advanced lighting and ambient occlusion tuned for performance and fidelity.
  • DLSS enabled for extra smoothness and future-proofing.
  • All settings tailored to maximize the capabilities of the RTX 2070 Super.

Using this mod is simple, but before you do that, an important prerequisite is the Ultra Plus mod for Oblivion Remastered, which is “a series of mods designed for all PCs, fixing bugs and performance while delivering the best possible visuals”. Once that is installed, you simply have to put the config file from this mod into the correct directory. It should automatically add on to the config of the Ultra Plus for Oblivion mod, hopefully giving you the performance boost you’re looking for, especially on an 8GB graphics card for 1440p.
