how is performance?

[mad4y0]

I've been seeing some reviews talking about some performance issues, so how's performance for you guys? does it run like smooth 60 fps?

performance is directly correlated to your hardware

as long as you dont have a

The game could be better optimised, but it's not the disaster some people mention. If i recall correctly what the tech savvy people said, this game is quite CPU intensive, and RAM has to be fast and dual channel.

It is true that the game is very CPU-intensive. I play at 30-40 FPS with some drops into the 20s at times, but it goes to 60 when I get to legacy dungeons and catacombs - I consider that pretty serviceable for relatively low-spec 7 year old PC.

ya apparently very demanding game
MAX 60 FPS no matter GPU you own ...

is this sarcasm? it's hardcapped to 60

ya, i suppose, no sarcasm, i have a 6800 XT GPU, with medium settings at FHD i never been more then 63 FPS (ocazionally)

[Terrorize Exercise]

GPU doesn't really matter, my 2070 super at 1080p never goes over 60% utilization.

However you need a very very strong 8 core+ cpu if you never want to drop below 60 fps.

Moral of the story, worry about your cpu instead.

better not have a amd graphics card. the game just crashes

Use different drivers. Owned the game since day 1. 0 crashes with nVidia or AMD. Switched to Linux some months ago and finally got 1 crash shortly after patch 1.10 when I got summoned for co-op.

You know that a Computer Hardware is more than only a gpu ?

If your cpu and/or RAM bottleneck you will never get more FPS with higher tier gpu's.

i dunno what you're doing with your pcs that it run 40 fps but i run it consistent 60 fps at 4k on a 4070 ti

you must have an old/bad cpu

[iriyap]

3060 Ti and i5-12400 here, 60 fps locked on max settings, with very occasional drops to 50's in a few specific boss fights (e.g. the lichdragon or the gargoyles) when there are too many particle effects (which are poorly optimized in this game and very CPU intensive).

From my understanding, the game puts too much load on the first CPU thread, so unless you have a 5 GHz CPU it's gonna drop frames in some scenes.

Having said that, Armored Core 6 seems to be much better optimized, so let's hope they bring those optimizations over to Elden Ring when the DLC is out.
