If you dig into Oblivion Remastered's files you can find almost the whole original game like a set of dinosaur bones (www.pcgamer.com)

Texture resolution doesn't map to screen/render resolution like that. Depending on the object, its mesh, the physical size (dimensions) of the in-game object, and how close your player view/camera is to it, you can absolutely see a clear difference between 2k and 4k textures for the object, even when the game is rendering at 720p or lower.

That is correct, it isn't an exact scaling for every single texture yo the setting which is why I said I don't need most hi res textures at a lower resolution. Many his res textures are not used at all on lower settings even if some are, and the developers would know wbich are needed and which are not.
