ELDEN RING Guide: How to BOOST FPS and OPTIMISE Performance (Fix LAG & Stutters)

[@dradamov]

This was THE BEST guide for gaming optimization. Elden Ring improved (no stutter drops, only with Tree Sentinel but it's most common) and otehr than that I see a substantial improvement in games like Guild Wars 2 (one that is known for abysmal CPU optimization) I had sub 20 FPS in crowded areas at times and now it is smooth 60, thank you!

[@FreddtorOfficial]

Thats excellent! Very glad it helped 🙂👍

[@BastosFC2]

You don't go from sub 20 to smooth 60 lmao

[@boaz7028]

@@BastosFC2 I went from average 30-35 (sometimes dropping below), with my horse and enemies going invisible at times WHILE playing on 1280x720 resolution, to an average of ~50 fps, no more visual glitches and playing on 1920x1080 resolution. So my visuals improved and I gained about 20 fps. If this guy's system was even more cluttered than mine then I think it's believable

[@04SlhS]

do you know why im getting 55 fps on 3060 6gb gddr6, 32 ddr4 and ryzen 7 5800g? I've tried everything

Absolutely wonderful guide, I went from playing on 1280x720 resolution and averaging 30 fps, with my horse and enemies turning invisible at random, to playing at my native resolution (1920x1080) and averaging 45-50 fps. My horse and enemies never seem to go invisible anymore either. You're a lifesaver thank you so much for this video man

[@Matt_19-89]

You wanna know the truth? This game uses DX12 and the problem with Dx12 lies in how shaders are compiled and how it loads in new assets, just take a look at final fantasy 7 remake for instance, these "fixes" don't really fix anything, you just have to either deal with it or wait for From to fix the game

if you still have stuttering: DISABLE shader cache size in nvidia control panel, delete the cache folder again, restart, enjoy. setting shader cache size to unlimited was still stuttering. seems to be a problem with loading cache in general. i also disabled vsync and pretty much disabled any fancy "smooth" or "fast" settings in there.

Okay, sorry for my bad English. My game started to crash after the regedit configuration. I changed the setting of the scheduling category from high to medium again, and it fixed the problem. Apart from that, the game runs better; I can play at 1080p with max settings without any problems.

It works like a charm, my previous game settings were 720p low graphic settings at around 30fps, after following the instructions in this videos; boom now I can enjoy this game at 1080p medium graphic settings with above 50fps. Although there are still some lags and stutters due to my low end laptop, but its way wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better after the tweaks. Thank you man!

If you are on a gaming laptop, set up msi afterburner to show your gpu and cpu temperature, and your FPS. If your CPU temp goes above 80 C, I recommend getting throttlestop to undervolt your CPU. It increased performance and got my temps down below 80. Also a cooling pad and proper ventilation helps a little. Throttlestop was the single biggest change that increased my performance across the board.

No background programs running. Game is installed on a 970evoplus. The game has serious performance issues that really needs to be fixed by the developers.

[@FreddtorOfficial]

Yeah, i totally agree! They really have to sort the performance out! Sorry it didn’t help, might be a silly question but did you try and re-install the game and drivers?

[@SWATOPR8R1]

@@FreddtorOfficial Yes, both. Installed the game again and updated to the latest nvidia drivers. I have the strange feeling the issue is based on the way how dx12 handles the shader cache. Ive seen similar stuff in other dx12 games... specifically a dx11 game which ran fine until it was updated to support dx12. With that these kinds of problems started on that other game. DX12 wants to build the shader cache on the fly while DX11 did build it once when loading the game for the first time (which took multiple minutes sometimes but then didnt have to be done again in the middle of the game). DX12 on the other hand seems to compile the shader cache in the middle of the game and for some games keeps doing that over and over again for the same assets.
