I can run every single game in ultra but Elden Ring is 40fps in 720p

[نبي الله]

Hi!

As the title said, my laptop is capable of running big titles in ultra with stable 60fps but however I lower Elden Ring's graphics I always get a very unstable 40fps. It makes the game absolutely unplayable. For example my fps is the same in 4k and 480p, both 40fps. Same in high and low settings. Same with fullscreen and borderless.

What else is curious is that I played a couple months after release and there was 0 lag. I had stable 60fps with 0 stutters in Elden Ring with high graphics but recently I wanted to replay and I'm unable to get to stable 60fps.

I have researched fixes for hours and I think I have done everything I saw.

If you have had the same problem and fixed it or you think you know the answer then please tell me.

You probably already tried this but verify your game files.

You provided literally zero information about your laptop, what kind of help do you even expect?

Threads like this just baffle me, do people even think a little before they post.

Aight, next question. Do you have raytracing turned on?

My specs: Asus dash 15. RTX 3060 and I5-12450H. 16gb DDR5 4800mhz ram. Like I said, it runs major titles 60fps with ease. For example I play Escape from Tarkov on high 60fps and that game is not known to be well optimized.

Since then I looked into what my 99% fps is and that is more problematic. It's 15-20fps

Thank you for you help, keep it up! :)

I do not have it on.

Yeah, sorry i'm not sure what it could be.

Though, there are some tech experts on this forum that can definitely help once they come online :)

it is a e core CPU i think you remember it wrong this game never was running with e cores on at 60 FPS.
deactivate your e cores and test, additional to this after a windows update some windows functions began to interupt the gamecode, deactivate in all power profiles the selective usb powersaving,
make sure your laptop is set to high performance use in the tuning app.

I clearly remember that I had a smooth experience because I would not have played if it was laggy. I turned selective usb powersaving off and I run the game in the highest performance mode.

my friend i know what i'm talking about, this game was never running without deactivating e cores at a 12450H CPU at 60 FPS outside the first dungeon.

My biggest problem right now is the 15-20 99%fps.
With all due respect, I disagree. I mean, I used the same laptop and I don't even know what e cores are so I didn't touch them. I never play with a game where my experience isn't smooth so I very clearly remember that the game was running well. if not 60fps then 50 or 55 but it was 99%. now my 99% is 15-20 fps and my average fps is 40. It doest matter which settings I use. I have the exact same performance in 720p and 4k.

Try checking Nvidia Control Panel on the section that says Manage 3D Settings. See if Elden Ring happens to be using the integrated graphics chip in your CPU as its default device, as opposed to your dedicated GPU.

While I agree that performance wouldn't be smooth 60 everywhere in the game with your setup, the performance not changing at all when you lower settings shouldn't be a thing. The game should easily reach and keep 60 fps at 720p and lowest settings on way older and weaker machines.

I don't guarantee my suggestion will fix it, but since you're running it on a laptop, I know that historically some people have had extremely low performance because of the game defaulting to the wrong device on laptops specifically.

Bro, this means a CPU or RAM bandwidth bottleneck. Your RAM speed is good. 4800MT/s DDR5 is plenty fast.

If Don Lobo's suggestion isn't the issue, then you should definitely look into disabling your e-cores. Microsoft has been on a roll lately with updates breaking things, including CPU microcode updates that affect thread priority on Intel CPUs.

laptops arent for gaming tho.
