30 fps on rtx 3060 in 800x600 resolution

[Cerweth]

Dear steam community,

My Problem:
Elden Ring runs in between 20-60 fps, with massive stuttering/tearing pretty much nonstop in the game. It does this whether I am on 1920x1080 with high settings or on 800x600 with lowest settings.

My Specs:
Nvidia RTX 3060 Laptop GPU
Intel i5-12500H
16gig RAM, SSD, Windows 11
(Newest drivers, clean windows install, updated bios, no silent mode)

What I have tried:
- Monitoring Elden Ring through MSI/Riva Tuner -> it does use my dedicated graphics card (not integrated one); it only uses around 30% of my GPU (GPU stays below 55 degrees)
- Setting Elden Ring to High Performance (use RTX 3060) in Windows Menu
- Setting Elden Ring to High Performance (use RTX 3060) in Nvidia Menu
- Disabling hardware accelerated GPU scheduling in Windows Menu
- Disabling Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator in Windows
- Setting Shader Cache Size to unlimited in Nvidia Menu (for elden ring)
- Setting low latency mode to ultra in Nvidia menu (for elden ring)
- Setting vertical synchronisation to off in nvidia menu (for elden ring)
- enabling / disabling vsync in nvidia menu (for elden ring)
- Setting steam itself to high performance (use rtx 3060) in windows menu
- Disabling steam overlay (I do not have any other overlays)
- Trying fullscreen, borderless fullscreen or windowed in elden ring
- Testing my setup with 3D mark, userbenchmark (laptop is operating nominally)

I have also tried multiple restarts, my original power adapter is plugged in and in other games i get 70fps+ on high settings.

I am at my wits end here and happy for any help.

Cheers

At what RAM speed is your system operating?
CTR+ALT+DEL -> Task Manager -> Performance -> Memory -> Check speed value.

Jep. Turn on xmp in bios.

Do you use Geforce experience? if so launch it the cog next to your name click on that and check if whisper mode is on if it is turn it off helps with FPS

I'd re-install your graphics drivers, preferentially with DDU. Sounds like a DX12 bug.

Extra stuff: Set power mode of laptop to maximum performance. Search bar > "power" > high performance. I don't know if you've done this, I see you've selected programs to run at high performance but if the laptop is forcing an "eco" mode, that would be the culprit. Also, thermal throttling. Ventilate it.

Memory speed does not present itself as an object of suspicion here IMO

is it only one RAM module ?

it does not show in task manager but with cmd "wmic memorychip get speed" i get a value of 3200

I downloaded gforce experience for that reason but whisper mode is turned off

try talking to Dark b He is brilliant at this stuff

Unfortunately that also does not work. I have reinstalled drivers / tried different nvidia drivers and also set laptop power mode to high performance to no avail. Regarding ventilation - it is a new laptop, there should be no dust or anything

is it only one RAM module ?

Yes according to task manager - 1/2 of modules used, but it shows 16GB, Elden Ring and Windows combined then use around 10gb of 16

there is your problem only one module runs in single channel

So what does it show in your task manager? Is it dual channel? Both info should be there.
Should look something like that:

https://www.dell.com/community/image/serverpage/image-id/84693i0D88F2A5AD0FB420/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999


EDIT: People reported that the game stutters if RAM is slower than 3000MHz dual channel. If your RAM is just a single channel that's likely the reason. A solution to that would be a new kit of dual channel RAM. Adding second stick to the existing one won’t work most likely.

it would work if the second one is the same model (there is a serial number on them they have to match)

Not sure if true but some people suggest that even getting exact same RAM stick doesn’t guarantee it will work properly in dual channel. The reason apparently is very strict timing needed for both sticks to work together. So dual channel kit is tested to work together. Two separate identical ones are not and it’s seems to be a gamble. I personally wouldn’t risk. It may work or not. Or even worse it can work 99% of the time but occasionally crash. Would be hard to find the source of the problem.

Dude.. holy damn thank you, this definitely fix the problem of my low FPS on some super laggy areas. All i need to do was just open up BIOS and change the DRAM Frequency to 3200. I also overclocked my ram voltage to 1.5 to give a boost. Same with overclocking both CPU and GPU.
