Better fps on Skyrim than Oblivion

I noticed something weird recently, I have had Skyrim and Oblivion for the xbox since each one was released, but I bought them both at the same time on my computer and I'm getting better fps on Skyrim than I am on Oblivion. Does anyone know why this happens? I use OSR and Streamline on Oblivion and it still barely improves the fps, it runs around 35 fps. While Skyrim runs at 60 fps with over 40 mods running and Oblivion has two. Anyone know why this happens?

Skyrim has a much better renderer. There's no doubt that that was totally revamped and optimized. It's a truly grand improvement.

 

On the other hand, all the other low level code is the same old crap, just with a bunch of Fallout 3 stuff kludged on top of it.

What gsmanners said is correct.

 

In addition, if your cpu is weaker than your gpu you'll see this kind of thing. Oblivion, being older, allowed only a single cpu core to be used, whereas Skyrim allows 4 cores to be used effectively.
