It’s been years since I first left the sewers of the Imperial City and stepped out into Cyrodiil’s open world. Back then, Oblivion felt massive and beautiful, even if shadows were just gray blankets, textures were mostly blurry patterns, and stutters were anything but occasional. Nowadays, thanks to a full remaster and much better graphics cards, the experience feels like something entirely new. I decided to revisit The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on my PC, powered by the ASUS PRIME Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition. I was curious to see how well this modern GPU can handle a game rebuilt with high-resolution textures and ray tracing effects. Add AMD’s new FSR 4 upscaling technology, and I had high hopes for a smooth and impressive ride through one of the world’s best RPGs ever. It looked great, but let me show you exactly how it performed, especially during the early parts of the game, up to the gates of Kvatch:

If you’re looking to buy a gaming PC, you don’t have to build it yourself, and you don’t have to use the latest and greatest processors, as they can be very expensive. You can opt for a pre-assembled system like the BALAUR Battle Ready that’s created by a local retailer from our home country, Romania. It is equipped with an older generation Intel Core i5-14400F (a CPU that costs less than 130$), and it’s fast, reliable, and ready for modern gaming. I tested it in games and benchmarks, keeping in mind a similar configuration based on a midrange AMD processor, also built and sold by the same local retailer. The differences proved small but potentially relevant, obviously depending on your buyer profile. Let’s see what you get from this PC, or a similar one with an Intel Core i5-14400F processor:
