Hows everyone's performance with Oblivion Remastered?

My Ryzen 5950 seems to be coping just fine, nowhere near using all of my Ram, still got 90GB+ free.
But the little RX6600 of mine is definitely in struggle land. - 1440P, Medium, no Ray Tracing and using XESS performance... Using VRR and going from 40-60fps.

Been doing some GPU window shopping... First game I have truly felt the need to upgrade for in years. - The 7800XT is good value right now at $749 or the 9070 at $1050 which offers up to 50% more performance...
I really don't want to pay $1,000 AUD for a GPU, rather spend less and upgrade more often when the need arises, miss the days when I could grab a high performing Radeon 6950 for $400 AUD...

Yeah. I have started being stingy on GPU's since COVID and the Crypto booms.

I've not played it myself but from what I've read it's very heavy on the CPU and particularly bad on AMD CPUs with Intel faring a lot better than even than newer X3D chips.

Hard to really chime in on GPU as your market looks vastly different to where I am with AMD cards still completely borked on price as the 7800XT is close to a 5070 in and the only somewhat reasonable priced AMD card would be the 9070 non XT but that is still £100 above the 5070. At the right price the 7800XT is solid but it depends on how long you plan to keep it and the pace of forced RT games keep releasing it might also be worth waiting a few weeks for the 9060XT to see where that fits in as it could very much be 7800XT price and performance with the benefit of FSR4 and better RT.
