About Elden Ring

Elden Ring combines FromSoftware’s combat design with a huge open world. The PC version is capped at 60 fps by design, so headroom above the recommended specification goes into frame consistency rather than higher frame rates.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Elden Ring locked to 60 fps?

FromSoftware caps the PC version at 60 fps. A faster graphics card will not raise the frame rate above that, but it does help hold 60 fps consistently in dense areas such as Leyndell.

Can my laptop run Elden Ring?

The same check applies — enter the parts your laptop actually contains. Be aware that a laptop graphics chip is usually slower than the desktop card it shares a name with, because the manufacturer sets a lower power limit. A laptop advertising the NVIDIA GeF named here may therefore fall somewhat short of it in practice, and sustained performance drops further as the machine heats up. Treat a borderline laptop result as optimistic rather than assured.
