How ELDEN RING runs on the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Our estimate puts the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at about 42 fps on High at 1080p in ELDEN RING, which means it runs acceptably. On Low the same card manages about 60 fps, and on Ultra about 25.

The graphics card is the limit here, so lowering the resolution or the quality preset is what raises your frame rate.

For a steady 60 fps, our estimate says: 1080p: Low (about 60 fps); 1440p: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 58 fps on Low; 4K: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 32 fps on Low.

Settings advice

ELDEN RING lists 12 GB of RAM (recommending 16 GB) and a processor of the INTEL CORE I7-8700K class. Our estimate assumes a processor that does not limit the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.

The cheapest card we list that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p is a GeForce RTX 3050 6GB (launch price $169), and until then upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS, if ELDEN RING offers it) and one resolution step down are the biggest wins.
