•Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X
•Memory (RAM): 12 GB
•Graphics Card (GPU): Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (3 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 580 (4 GB)
•DirectX: Version 12
•Storage: 60 GB available space
•Sound Card: DirectX-compatible sound device
Recommended System Requirements
•For medium to high settings at 60 FPS, targeting 1080p to 1440p resolution.
•OS: Windows 10 or 11
•Processor (CPU): Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
•Memory (RAM): 16 GB
•Graphics Card (GPU): Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 (8 GB) or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (8 GB)
•DirectX: Version 12
•Storage: 60 GB available space
•Sound Card: DirectX-compatible sound device
High/Ultra Settings for 1440p or 4K
•For running the game at high or ultra settings, targeting 60 FPS at 1440p or 4K resolution.
•OS: Windows 10 or 11
•Processor (CPU): Intel Core i7-10700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
•Memory (RAM): 16-32 GB
•Graphics Card (GPU): Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (8 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (12 GB)
•DirectX: Version 12
•Storage: 60 GB SSD recommended for faster load times
•Sound Card: DirectX-compatible sound device
Ultra Settings at 4K/60 FPS
•For maximum settings at 4K resolution, targeting a smooth 60 FPS or higher.
•OS: Windows 10 or 11
•Processor (CPU): Intel Core i9-11900K or AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
•Memory (RAM): 32 GB
•Graphics Card (GPU): Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 (10 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (16 GB)
•DirectX: Version 12
•Storage: 60 GB SSD or NVMe SSD for the best performance
•Sound Card: DirectX-compatible sound device
Additional Considerations
•Storage: Installing the game on an SSD (especially an NVMe SSD) is highly recommended to reduce load times and improve texture streaming.
•Ray Tracing: Although Elden Ring doesn't launch with ray tracing, it has been announced as a feature in future updates. For ray tracing, you'll need an Nvidia RTX series GPU or AMD RX 6000 series GPU.
•V-Sync & Frame Rates: The PC version of Elden Ring is capped at 60 FPS natively. However, mods or updates may allow for higher frame rates in the future, requiring even more powerful hardware for a stable experience.
•DLSS/FSR: Keep an eye out for potential updates adding DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) for Nvidia GPUs or FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) for AMD GPUs to help improve performance without sacrificing visual quality, especially at higher resolutions.
Performance Scaling
•Low-End Systems: If you have a system near or below the minimum requirements, aim for low settings at 30 FPS and 720p to 1080p resolution.
•Mid-Range Systems: You can target medium to high settings at 60 FPS and 1080p to 1440p resolution, balancing between performance and visuals.
•High-End Systems: For 4K gaming or ultra settings, you'll need a more powerful GPU like the RTX 3080, especially if aiming for 60 FPS or higher at 4K resolution.
Note: As long as you match your hardware with these recommendations, Elden Ring will be able to perform as you would like and provide you with the visual experience you desire. |
