Performance issues

[CursedUndead666]

I have a gaming laptop with a rtx 4060 8gbs, i9-13900HX, 32ram, ssd, windows 11.

I have been playing the game and for the most part it plays ok, but even turning down the graphics to medium (no ray tracing on) a good portion of boss fights where there are a lot of effects or even just some areas can cause me a good bit of frame drops. This is the only game that does this, i play other heavy/demanding games and i don't usually have these problems. I just wanna know if its me either cuz its a gaming laptop, or i am missing something (it had no operative system i did a clean install of everything) or if its something with the game which i kinda doubt. (The graphics card is updated, all other drivers are too theoretically, i checked, also its always plugged in, its on ultimate performance mode and its not overheating)

If anyone can just give me some info on the matter i'd be thankful. The game is very much playable, and i will keep on playing but i wanna see if there is something i can do

I've got a 3070 and run in 2k with everything maxed aside from ray tracing (off). Turning on triple buffering in the control panel (or better, make a profile change for Elden Ring if it works with Nvidia Profile Inspector) worked for me. It also made camera movement smoother to me. I still have stutters occasionally, but for the most part, all but the worst are gone.

E-cores...

I'm on a super-powerful desktop and it's not just you. The Enir-Ilim area FPS drops are so bad, the game is virtually unplayable.

I've tried all the "fixes" but nothing is helping. There's definitely something wrong.

Download an Nvidia driver from December 2023, Fixed all my performance issues. Solid 60fps in everything inch of the map now.

I specifically downloaded Dec 12th v546.33

Thanks, i'll give it a try later

I'm sorry but could you elaborate? I think i know what you are talking about but my knowledge in pcs is limited. I did do one thing where i disabled called core 0, people say that helps in games like CS and Elden Ring, i personally noticed no difference

Thanks, i'll keep this in mind, i'll see if other people come up with other tips but if all else fails i shall give this a try.

I did see things about the game being poorly optimized but it was all posts from 1 year and a half ago, so i thought maybe they had fixed that by now

I'm referring to temporarily disabling e-cores. Since you have a laptop, it probably won't give you an option in BIOS. However, you can force Windows to ignore using them:

Win + R

msconfig

Advanced

Boot tab

Set cores to "16"

Click OK on all msconfig windows

Reboot your PC.

-------------------------------------------------

You mention performance issues (probably stuttering) when there are a lot of particles onscreen. If that's the case, it probably isn't e-cores causing problems because if they were it'd be constant stuttering.

ReBAR is known to cause significant performance loss when certain particle effects are displayed. Laptops don't typically offer a way to disable it in BIOS either. However, nVidia may have finally gotten around to adding an option in their drivers. Not sure as I don't use Windows anymore. I think nVidia Profile Inspector can still do it.

Other than that, I'd recommend thefilthysavage.eth and / or OkIES recommendations first.

Those effects are super heavy on cpu. I had the same issue with dragon breath on the base game. GPU would be at like 60% utilization and still tank the game. ER has trouble with your processor e-cores. I would try disabling all the e-cores on the bios.

Thanks a lot i'll give it a try. That ReBAR you mentioned i should see if there is a way of disabling it is that it?

So far triple buffering and setting up only the 16 cores is already much better, i haven't fought an enemy with a lot of special effects but i just travelled to some areas that lower my frame rate and so far so good. Thank you
