Extremely low FPS since title screen

[Rivio24]

I just bought the game and I'm quite frustrated. I've spent around two hours trying Youtube fix tutorials, but I still have 6-10 fps since title screen, with all specs at low. I have an i5-7400 3.00ghz, 16gb ram and an nvidia geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4gb. I can run Elden at high with solid 45-60 fps, but I dont get how even runs P5R at 30fps.

I've installed and reinstalled the game both in SSD and HHD drive.

Anyone can help me? Lots of thanks!

im afraid its because of your terrible gpu, i also very much doubt that you can run elden ring at high

It's not his GPU. I have the same issue on RTX 2080 Super. Randomly 1/20 times the game starts stuttering and after restart it persists from the main menu.

Idk, I looked up some benchmarks and it actually runs decently well:

And to the OP: No idea man, your card isn't super new but it should be able to run it. I'm guessing P5R has some wacky compatibility issues with older hardware. Try using DXVK, it helped me back when I was using a shoddy Intel HD Graphics laptop to play P5. Also, lower the resolution scale in the settings.

Also just found another benchmark of a guy running P5R on a 1050ti with no issues, getting 100+ fps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYAiQ4SzuCk . Idk, either its a VERY specific bug to your system, or there's something wrong with your parts.

Ok, I just got a non-sense solution: I installed it in my internal HDD and didn't work. Same result for my external SSD. Someway, installing it in my external HDD, suddenly works! I don't know the reason, but cool! Thanks anyway all of you for the help!

the fps drops are due to its ps3 origins. its heavily single threaded. the dx11 api doesn't help either; the npcs basically cripple it with drawcalls.

Try dxvk which turns the dx11 calls into vulkan. it should help tremendously

It boggles the mind that it was very choppy and stuttery also in main menu and in-game with my former 3090 for crying out aloud. Had to refund, cuase it was unacceptable at launch.. after many months still no proper patch is out, I tell you this is just plain bad coding and lazy support. Even with my current 4090 and 13900k Im not gonna bother until they do and put some effort..

Thanks for your answers! Aside from puntual fps drops in some animations, installing it in one external HDD worked to me (if it helps to anyone)!

the problem the game has with the 12th and 13th gen intels, is it runs on the ecores when it shouldn't. disabling them via affinity in the task manager should see the fps shoot up. Cpus where all cores are equal also suffer though, so yeah; very bad coding. the japanese just don't give a toss about performance.

same problem, no answer from devs or literally anyone because apparently people experiencing this is "minority" and tend to just google how to deal with or work around it. none seem to work for me so, i'm gonna post about it here too

frame drop is absolutely atrocious, happens every couple minutes in dungeon and constantly in certain area on the street while it run smooth as butter at 120 fps in other area, Nvidia experience suggests my PC run the game at max setting and render at 125% of monitor's resolution yet setting everything to lowest possible still result in freezing and stuttering the same way it does at max setting.
been trying to everything i could do including moving it into SSD/HDD to modding the way it render texture with vulkan thingy, etc... you name it, i did it.

i5-6600K 16GB RAM
ZOTAC GTX1070

WORK AROUND that works for me:
Run the game, then minimize, open task manager, go to Details, Right Click on P5R.exe, set affinity, only check the first 2 CPU, ok and go back in game for a couple seconds, tab back out to taskmanager and set affinity, this time check all CPU.
this improve my average FPS quite a bit, annoying but it's all i got till next patch drop

I'm playing this game on a win max 2 with a ryzen 6800u at 2560x1600, no major issues here

i know i'm late like almost 2 years here but ima just share a tips that people may want to hear.
IMO, since you don't have problem with other games, then i will assume it's likely p5r fault, well not completely the game fault, but the DRM, which is Denuvo.
Why it wasn't completely the game's fault? cuz it runs pretty well for most people here.
Denuvo is notorious for randomness causing performance issues, and you have a bad luck that Denuvo is overworking in your pc.

Try update your OS (windows), or if there's no windows update then just go to previous windows instead (downgrading), or maybe just reinstall your current version of your windows, it will make your PC has different System ID (idk how it does called lol, but let's just say that to make it easier for understanding the denuvo problem here).
it will make Denuvo re-check your system once again and register your pc into their server again but with different ID (yes your pc before the update/downgrade still in their server, but now you enter their server with different id).
i know ATLUS just want to protect their games from pirate, as far i know that Denuvo DRM is the most secure/highly protected, but yeah ofcourse there's some cons of using DRM, which is reducing your pc performance for them.

i share this method because this is one of the easiest and safest method if you do it correctly (+ you don't need to change some value/deleting/add stuff in registry files manually, and let windows automatically do it for you).

if it's not solve the problem, then there's some problem with your pc settings (it's hard to say if it's hardware issue if you can even run elden ring just fine)

but take a note: this may cause another problem (not always, but there's a chance), Denuvo sometimes triggered their Anti-Tamper, it will lock out you from the game for 24 Hours after the Notification, but you should be fine to open the game after 24 hours passed.

wasn't this game on the switch and ps4?

I found a "fix" that help me a lot. The issue I had was my SSD, the one I had was a M2 with 1500 MB/s, now I have one with much more speed and it works perfectly, nothing else changed
