Elden Ring
About Elden Ring
Elden Ring is an open-world action RPG developed by FromSoftware under director Hidetaka Miyazaki, with world-building contributions from fantasy author George R. R. Martin. It carries the demanding, rewarding combat of the Dark Souls series into a vast, explorable open world, and has been regarded as a genre-defining release since launching in 2022. Players roam the Lands Between on horseback (Torrent), uncovering hidden dungeons, colossal bosses, and a rich, cryptic lore at their own pace. The 2024 "Shadow of the Erdtree" expansion added even more content. In its punishing boss fights, high and consistent FPS matters a great deal since it directly affects reaction timing.

How can I get more FPS in Elden Ring?
In large open-world and story-driven games, the biggest gains usually come from lowering draw distance, volumetric effects, shadows and ray tracing, while keeping texture quality as high as your VRAM allows. Elden Ring recommends 16 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
