Elden Ring low FPS – How to fix Elden Ring performance issues

This may be a simple fix for you if you have not updated your graphics drivers in a while. Not doing so may cause the game to not run as it should and they need to be kept up to date with game releases.

If you have an Nvidia card you can update your driver via Geforce Experience or downloading the latest one from it’s website.

Or if you’re team red with an AMD Radeon card you can update your driver via Radeon software, or via the website as well.

Intel graphics drivers can also be updated from its website. Although we’re not sure how well the game runs on these.

One way to try to improve the perfromance is to change the game files to high performance mode. You can achieve this by searching for “graphics settings” in windows. When that is open select desktop app and browse for your game files. Set it to high performance and possibly experience less issues.

Steam overlay can cause some issues especially in newly released ports or games. To turn off Steam overlay right click Elden Ring in your library and click properties. It should be the first option you see in general, turn it off and close the window. Now launch the game and it will run without the overlay and possibly improve perfromance.

With Nvidia Geforce Experience installed you have the Nvidia control panel (which you can open by right clicking Nvidia icon in the tray). There go to the “Manage 3D settings” tab on the left side-bar. There under the global settings scroll down to global shader cache size and set it to global and apply. Here you can also set power preference to high perfromance to help.

Lastly, you can try by disabling the Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator. You’ll need to go to device manager, either searching for it in windows, or right clicking start. Then under software devices you should find the device. Right click and disable it and you should be good to go.
