As seen in the video above, when capped at 30 fps, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is unable to consistently meet its frame rate target, despite running at the lowest possible graphics settings. Performance can drop into the 20s, or even below during taxing situations. As such, we do not recommend playing the game on Valve’s handheld device.
