I know this is going to sound like copium, but I love having to fiddle with settings to get original Oblivion running on my 2019 X1 Carbon. It gives me this nostalgia feeling of where I first ran oblivion on PC on my Dell E310 with a Pentium 4 single core and GeForce 6200LE I pencil modded. I’m having to run out at 720p and 4x AF, but it feels like Xbox 360 to me and I love

Which settings? I'm replying from a 2019 X1 Carbon and have that in my Steam library.

[Currently playing Bioshock 2: Minerva's Den via Proton.]

I’m currently running it at 1600x900p large texture, far distance, anti aliasing at 4x., if I drop to 720p, I get a solid 60fps. I’m still tweaking it so I haven’t gotten just right yet.

But I’m surprised at this laptops performance since I got it off an eBay business auction and not for gaming. Lego Harry Potter ran well as well as life is strange and left 4 dead. ETS2 was everything at low at 1080p if I remember correctly

Same. This thing is amazing. Granted, I've always been a Thinkpad fanboy, but this is my first "new" Thinkpad since my T420.
