"How To Fix Poor Performance and Reduce Stuttering In Elden Ring - Complete Guide"

In this video I cover how to install and play Elden Ring on Windows 11 and suggest methods of minimizing FPS drops and stuttering, especially when running the game with Nvidia hardware.
Step 1. Install Elden Ring.
To my knowledge, Elden Ring is exclusive to Steam.

However, you might be able to find it reduced on sites such as CD Keys.
Once purchased, install the game using Steam as normal, however, I would strongly recommend installing this game on an SSD or NVME due to the shader cache issue mentioned earlier.
Once the game is installed, launch at least once, choose your graphic settings, then close the game.
Step 2. Change Power Plan to High Performance.
By default, Windows 11 will default to using the Balanced power plan to balance performance and energy consumption, by limiting the clock speed of your CPU.
However, for gaming, the High-Performance plan should be used instead as this sets the minimum and maximum processor state to 100%.
In other words, the clock speed of your CPU will be set to the maximum, which can reduce stuttering especially when the game is compiling shaders.
The easiest way to make this change is to type “power plan” into the Start menu and opening the “choose a power plan option” search result.
From here, tick the High-performance option and close the window.
Step 3. Set Elden Ring Graphics Preference to High Performance.
Not to be confused with the High-Performance power plan, you can also set the game itself to run-in High-performance mode.
To enable this, open the Start Menu and search for “graphics” and open the “Graphics settings” search result.
From here, find the game on the list under Custom options for apps, click Options, tick the High-performance option, and then click Save.
Close the window once done.
Step 4. Set Nvidia Shader Cache Size to Unlimited.
Open the Nvidia Control Panel, navigate to 3D Settings / Manage 3D settings, then select Global Settings.
About halfway down the list will be the Shader Cache Size so click the drop-down menu on the Settings section and select Unlimited from the list.
Click Apply at the bottom of the window to confirm.
