My current system specs are,

Q6600 @ 3.2GHz
4GB RAM
1GB 285 GTX @ 700/2500

I downloaded the GOTY edition of Oblivion off Steam and I'm currently not running any mods apart from the LOD fix and natual enviroments. With the game on max settings but object, tree and actor fade at default settings the the game runs like rubbish, as in less than 30fps for the most part.
I have all the latest drivers for my system and its the same with or without AA. Is it a case that my CPU isn't up to scratch because I bet this game doesnt support quads.

EDIT: The res is 1920 x 1080.

It's a fairly demanding game on the CPU, I've got an i5-750 @ 4.2ghz, 4GB RAM, GTX280 and it isn't totally smooth in some areas (I'm running Panchrd's mod). I'd say if you want genuinely smooth performance (say minimum framerate of 75fps+, meaning average in excess of 150fps) on max settings you need at least a 5ghz i7, hard to judge though as I haven't played it vanilla since my old system.

Make sure you disable vsync and have a look at the grass shadows settings, they can really slow things down.
 
Try a defrag on the game files if you can. That helped with Oblivion a lot. As did having the page file on a seperate disk.

Been a while since I've played it, but my system is identical to what you have listed (apart from overclocking the gfx card), and you should easily be getting better than that. Have you tried running it without the environment mod at all? I'd try eliminating that as a problem first.
