Is it possible to get 60 fps with these specs
Hello everyone, is it possible to get 60 fps in the game with this PC:
32 RAM DDR3
Intel core i5 4670
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 980

I tried to set it to low settings but it still gives an average of 40 fps, sometimes it drops to 30

Why?

DDR3 RAM - DDR3 typically tops out at about 1866MT/s and this still doesn't provide enough memory bandwidth. DDR4 running in dual channel at 3000MT/s or faster is strongly recommended.

CPU - the Intel i5 4670 is a 4 core, 4 thread CPU. It doesn't provide enough threads to satisfy Elden Ring which typically spawns about 12 threads; 1 for the main game loop and 11 or so for DX12 draw calls. This is why the recommended CPU is a 6 core, 12 thread CPU. Additionally, the IPC of 4th gen Intel iCore CPUs is rather weak by modern standards.

GPU - It's fine for the most part. Should be able to handle High preset at 1080p, assuming no CPU or RAM bottlenecks.

Elden Ring certainly isn't the best optimized game and it tends to bottleneck on the CPU and RAM bandwidth. On your PC, BOTH of these aren't sufficient for playing at a stable 60fps as they are severely bottlenecking everything.
