A NVIDIA RTX 3060 paired with a AMD Ryzen 5 5600X lands around 52 fps in Elden Ring at 1080p with High textures, Medium shadows and FSR Performance. Ray tracing is left off on this pairing. These values come from the same model the interactive optimizer uses, applied to this exact hardware pair rather than a generic preset.

  • Locked to 60 FPS — excess GPU power won't increase framerate

About Elden Ring on PC

Elden Ring is capped at 60 FPS by the engine, which changes what optimisation means: the goal is not a higher number but a frame time that never wavers. On modern hardware nearly every setting can sit at Maximum and still hold the cap, with ray tracing being the one exception that reliably breaks it.

Most complaints about this game's PC performance are about stutter rather than frame rate — shader compilation after a patch, or asset streaming when galloping into a new region. Those are storage and driver-cache issues, and lowering the preset will not address them.

Covers the current PC build with its 60 FPS cap. Recommendations target frame-time consistency rather than maximum frame rate.
