Elden Ring is mainly using 1 CPU core. That's why it runs like ass on every system.

Friend of mine has a 3070, unsure of his CPU, about 32GB of RAM I believe?

He was convinced he was running Cyberpunk 2077 at a smooth 60 when I and a friend asked him. Out of curiosity, we asked him so stream through discord and enable his steam overlay for the FPS counter.

He was running it at 39 or so FPS in the location he was in lol. Can't remember the resolution, nor if he had RT on. DLSS was off and he was at max settings.

He's not the only one either, I may be on a low-end peasant rig myself but I've helped a few people with higher-end hardware in my social circles get the most out of their games performance wise for what they have.

He doesn't care about the hardware he has, he simply bought a high-end rig and left it at that, puts everything he can on ultra and calls it a day.

Oh here we go. I knew it was only a matter of time before this would turn into a self-back patting "our superior skills at detecting frame rate drops"...

If someone told me a game was running at 60 FPS and I looked at it and it was running at 39 FPS, I would sense it and I would see it. I've played games for long enough to notice that big of a difference.

Jesus, it's not a freaking super power. Get over yourself.

I REALLY love this whole elite attitude of, "ohhhh people only THINK Elden Ring is running well on their system, but if they could actually detect this stuff like us hardcore super awesome system experts could..."

OH, ok.

Nobody is patting themselves on the back here? A few people in my social circles bought into the PC ecosystem after residing on console for a long time, and tend to let the game dictate based on their hardware, what their settings should be at.

Saying I helped them get more performance out of their games isn't some of self-aggrandisement, resulting in delusions of grandeur. More so, that a lot of consumers likely won't notice performance issues to the extent that others will, either because they don't care or aren't conditioned to look out for / notice it.

Wind your neck in mate, for goodness sake.

The burden of evidence falls on the people making those wild claims.

-emotional irrational rant-
Burden of proof my a**. Nonsense. Utter nonsense.

I told you he wouldn't upload a video to prove his fairy tale.

DLSS off LMAO. Yeah, a lot of my real life friends who have comparable rigs to me also seem totally inept when it comes to FPS detection or understanding which options are more expensive to run at a higher value. When I try to explain the technical reasons why volumetric light is often costly, they don't really get it. Most gamers also don't understand GPU/CPU bottlenecks. They don't really get what each part in their PC does. Wouldn't hurt to learn, makes it easier to optimise your settings very quickly.

OH, ok.

None of us think it's a superpower. Like others, I presumed everyone could sense these differences. I mean, why wouldn't you assume that? It's like if you can hear certain sound, you would also assume that others can too. This is what that feels like.
None of us think we're cool for being able to sense minor FPS changes. Sounds like you're projecting or something. Like you're jealous? Don't be, it's not worth worrying about.

[Beethy]

I just checked over 10 videos on Youtube of people running the game on high end hardware. All of them had the exact same FPS drops. I think I know what's causing it. It's a scripting problem.
To those of you who've modded the heck out of your games, you know what I mean. If you run too many mods that have overly complicated scripts, you see the same type of FPS drops. The scripts are tied to enemies in the case of Elden Ring, so any time you walk around a bit and it has to load in a bunch of new enemy types off in the distance, you will get FPS drops.
Those same FPS drops happen during boss fights, when their HP drops to a certain point and the game loads in a bunch of new scripts since their AI essentially completely changes in an instant.

This SUCKS, because it means it'll be very difficult to patch or fix. Even by modders.
Fingers crossed, though.

This "Gamer" tool is pathetic LMAO.

I mean, if your system is actually running smooth you could just take a clip and show it?

He is a sad chap. There's literally not a single video on Youtube of Elden Ring running at a stable 60fps in the open world areas. Not one.
It's all in his head.

Oh c'mon! I've played enough games over the years, both on PC and on console to sense and perceive frame rates drops. But 60 to 55. SERIOUSLY? I doubt there are one gamer in a hundred that actually perceive that in the course of actual gameplay. That's not a lot of change in movement. A dip into the 40s however I can easily detect, and anything in the 30s is obvioius.

It sound more like you're bragging because you have a finely tuned FPS sense that is superior to most other people.

But wait. So is THIS what qualifies to you as "running like ass"??? Because you're not getting 60 FPS everywhere at all times? For real?

See, this is why forums like these can be so misleading from a larger perspective. You create a post saying the game "runs like ass." But the real question, what is YOUR DEFINITION of it "running like ass." Anything below 60 FPS 100% of the time. Zero stutter?

Are you talking about real performance issues, or are you talking about a sense of entitlement that your rig should run the game flawlessly, and any game that doesn't stay at 60 FPS all the time is considered broken?

It's not just frames but frame times as well. The game runs like crap and no Fromsoft isn't going to come by and rate your message "good" for defending how terrible they are at doing the most basic things of a PC port.

nothing but solid facts. unless it's someone baiting, there's just NO WAY someone is *not* having frame drops, simply because it's a problem with the game and no configuration ever can escape those. they just can't perceive them lol

sense of entitlement? people are paying a ton of money for their rigs, where's the entitlement in feeling like the game that looks like it came straight out of 2016 should run well on modern PCs?

nearly all games arent programmed with multithreading in mind
its really tedious, prone to breaking and expensive to if you dont have a team of master software engineers
some processes do get offloaded to other cores but all of the game logic and npc counts lie exclusively on the main thread
game performance depend on single threaded performance with raw ghz, stuff like i5 9000s are amazing for this while you are throwing money into the garbage thinking ryzen 24 or 32 cores will improve your framerates

elden ring is no exception: you can run this game literally on a gtx760 or 960 the game is not gpu dependent at all, you just need a very powerful cpu to overcome the horrible optimization

55 is legit 10% less frames per second, i can notice the difference
