Elden Ring LOW FPS (Help)

[♰ ᴅᴀᴍɴᴀᴛɪᴏ ♰]

Today I bought Elden Ring, and there is a part of the map where I am going at 30-38 FPS, I have an RTX 3050, 16 GB RAM, Ryzen 5 5600G.

In videos I have seen that the RTX 3050 can run the game at 55-60 FPS without problems, and when I started it was going at 59-60. But then it started to get very windy, there was fog and a storm and my FPS dropped. The thing is that I can't even kill normal NPC's like that, let alone a boss.

And if I lower it to the minimum, it still goes at 30 FPS, any solution? In February I will buy a new PC with an RTX 4070, 32 GB RAM and an i5 13400F. Should I wait until February to play it?

I have nearly the same specs. I turn RTX on medium and lower settings like shadow & foliage. Make sure your resolution is correct, the game defaults to 4k for me.

Also, every single time you launch the game, it turns anti aliasing on max. I am aware and turn it back to off each time I get in game.

Why should you buy a whole new PC if all you might need is a GPU upgrade for max settings?

I have tried all the graphic settings, for some reason it still doesn't work well.

There's graphics settings and display settings. Maybe the display settings are off.
And maybe your nvidia settings should be adjusted too. I have the RTX 3060 and I can't put all the settings to max while using RTX.

It doesn't allow me to use RTX, do you use it from NVIDIA Geforce?

would be nice to know all relevant specs (RAM frequency, how many modules)

[Sonnenbank]

A RTX Desktop 3050 is unfortunately just as fast as a 1660 non TI
that is not even close to fast enough to run everything on high or RT >-<

16 GB RAM 3200 MHZ 1 module

The question is that I should run everything on high at 50-60 FPS, but even on low I am going at 38 FPS. (I emphasize, it started to feel like this when the game was filled with fog and wind)

1 ram module destroys your bandwith :( this can be an issue
Also cl timing can matter.

cl14 is significantly faster than cl18

currently DDR4 ram costs basically nothing... so you can buy a 2nd ram module of the same manufacturer

its important that the 2nd ram module is identical to the first

only single channel run i would not expect more than you get. it is like a DDR3 system with 1600 MHz dual channel.

you can not compare different games btw. your system is simply bad.

I will simply buy another PC in February and that's it, even though a RAM Module does not lower the FPS that much, at most it would drop 5, but not 27-30

i do not know where you get this information from, half of your bandwidth is not present and this game needs bandwidth.

single channel 3200MHz is half what you need so you get half what you could get at a correct build system in dual channel mode.

it is analysed several 100 times here, elden ring needs for mostly stable 60 FPS minimum 3000MHz dual channel configuration, single channel can only get in some dungeons and some little overworld locations 60 FPS.

even my 15 years old testsystem with 1800 MHz DDR3 dual channel get better performance because the RAM is running in dual channel, it is simply a bottleneck at your hardware configuration for this game (and some others that use huge amounts of bandwidth).

the other thing is the new system you get has other design flaws it has e cores they are create nice stutters with this game, get a AMD system it is much better than intel e core BS.

[Sonnenbank]

When you buy new system for example AMD 7800X3d be aware to buy 2 ram moduls
and dont buy higher than 6000mhz cl30

current AMD Generation has problems handling speed above 6400mhz
Thats why i will only do my CPU upgrade after next generations of AMD cpus

at least u know it, but 3050 is A VERY BAD gpu. my old 1080 would have run it twice better. u are better off waiting till u get ur new gpu. u will ruin the pleasure and fun out of the game with low fps. trust me
