    Elden Ring FPS by graphics card

    Elden Ring is locked to 60 FPS on PC. A faster graphics card does not raise that limit, but it lets you hold a steady 60 FPS at higher settings and resolutions.

    How many frames per second can you expect? The table shows our estimate for popular graphics cards on the High preset. “Below minimum” means the card is slower than the minimum requirement.

    Can I run Elden Ring on a laptop?

    Laptop graphics chips are slower than desktop cards with the same name, so check the laptop version of your chip in the checker above. Here is how common laptop graphics handle it:

    • Intel Iris Xe (integrated): No, below minimum
    • Radeon 780M (integrated): Only on the lowest settings, about 60 FPS on Low at 1080p
    • RTX 3050 Laptop (4GB): Yes, playable, about 60 FPS on Medium at 1080p
    • RTX 4050 Laptop (6GB): Yes, runs well, about 60 FPS on Ultra at 1080p
    • RTX 4060 Laptop (8GB): Yes, runs well, about 60 FPS on Ultra at 1080p

    How to get better FPS

    • Update your graphics driver before you play. New drivers often fix stutter in recent games. See how to update GPU drivers.
    • Turn on upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) if the game supports it. It gives a big FPS boost on mid-range cards.
    • Lower the shadows and volumetric effects first. They cost a lot of FPS but change the look the least.
    • Close background apps, especially with 12 GB of RAM, and keep your PC cool. Check temperatures with our CPU temperature guide.
    • If your CPU or GPU holds you back, use the bottleneck calculator to see which part to upgrade first.
