How to get the best frame rate in ELDEN RING
The publisher's minimum for ELDEN RING is NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060 3 GB or AMD RADEON RX 580 4 GB with INTEL CORE I5-8400 or AMD RYZEN 3 3300X, and the recommended hardware is NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1070 8 GB or AMD RADEON RX VEGA 56 8 GB. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce RTX 2060 Super does the same at 1440p, and a Radeon RX 6800 at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
In competitive games frame rate and low latency matter more than looks. Use Low or Medium shadows and effects, keep textures as high as your video memory allows, and aim to stay above your monitor's refresh rate.
