My specs are as followed;
-Athlon II x4 750k Black Edition 3.40GHz
-Sapphire R9 270 2gb
-Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz 2x4GB Dual Channel 8GB kit
-500w Corsair Bronze
-1TB WCD Hard drive
-Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H Motherboard
-Windows 7 Ultimate
-BitFenix Comrade Case Midi-Tower

I get 60fps in the start dungeon right at the beginning in the cell room but when they open the wall and we start through the dungeon i get a straight 30fps. Why and i getting 30fps from a 8 year old game as it came out in 2006?

I have finished Skyrim and would like to enjoy Oblivion again as i loved that game so much back in secondary school.

If you're using vsync it may take your fps down to 30 from a slightly higher fps to prevent screen tearing, however in some places it may just be that one of your components can't handle the game (or at least that part).

I recommend using MSI afterburner/Rivatuner along with HWinfo to monitor your CPU and GPU usage, temperatures, and core clock to ensure there isn't a bottle neck or throttling of any kind.

If you rule those out it could be the game itself. I know in Skyrim there are certain missions when a lot of NPCs come on screen and no matter what system you have the fps are going to dive. It's possible you are having a similar situation with this game (just speculation).

CPU performance has not improved a lot from 2006, on a single core basis. It's improved, but not like you'd think it has. Many of the improvements have simply come from adding more cores, but older games do not care about more cores.

Older games were also optimized for different architectures. Things have changed a lot since 2006.

And like someone else has pointed out, you likely have v-sync on. Mods would also cause issues, and if you went into the settings and turned up the sliders, they had a lot of settings way beyond the of any system of the time, possibly even today. Those just were not touched back then.

Mods would cause issues, if you installed some.

Now, are there issues with other games? If so, perhaps there is a system issue, and it would be a lot easier to try and help a system issue based on newer games or benchmarks especially. It's hard to know what oblivion will to on today's systems.
