Recommended Build for Oblivion Remastered at R100,000 in SA

Oblivion Remastered's Unreal Engine 5 rebuild with Lumen and Nanite is far heavier than the original, so a R100,000 budget buys a no-compromise 4K rig. This recommended spec balances GPU, CPU, and storage for the remaster and beyond.

Quick Answer

The recommended R100,000 Oblivion Remastered build is an RTX 5080 (around R24,000), a Ryzen 7 9800X3D (around R8,500), 32GB DDR5-6000, and a 2TB NVMe SSD. It runs the Unreal Engine 5 remaster at 100-130 fps at 4K with DLSS Quality, with headroom for any other title.

The Recommended R100,000 Spec

Centre the build on an RTX 5080 (around R24,000), a Ryzen 7 9800X3D (around R8,500), 32GB DDR5-6000 (around R2,200), a 2TB Gen4 NVMe SSD, an 850W 80+ Gold PSU, a 360mm AIO, and an X870 or B850 board. The remainder funds a quality case and a 4K 144Hz panel.

Performance In The Remaster

The remaster runs 100-130 fps at 4K with DLSS Quality and Lumen on High on this hardware. UE5 traversal in dense forests and cities is CPU-sensitive, which is exactly where the 9800X3D keeps 1% lows smooth. Enable DLSS and a frame cap matched to your panel.

SA Buyer Notes

At R100,000 you have room to over-spec storage for mods and fast texture streaming. Everything is stocked locally at Evetech, so warranty and support stay in South Africa. The rig also handles 4K content creation and any current AAA title.

FAQ

What is the recommended GPU for Oblivion Remastered at 4K?

The RTX 5080 around R24,000 is the recommended pick, holding 100-130 fps at 4K with DLSS Quality and Lumen on High. The RTX 5090 pushes higher but the 5080 balances best inside a R100,000 build.

Why the Ryzen 7 9800X3D for the remaster?

Its 3D V-Cache keeps the remaster's CPU-heavy UE5 traversal smooth, lifting 1% lows in dense areas where a standard CPU would dip. It is the recommended CPU for this build.

How much storage does this build need?

A 2TB Gen4 NVMe SSD around R2,500 is the floor. The remaster streams large textures and benefits from fast storage, plus you will want room for mods and a full library.
