This game is just badly optimised. I mean running on a 7 year old engine probably explains it partly. I should be able to run this without any drops maxed out at 1080p with my RTX 3060ti and Rysen 5600 but still get some stutters and at storm hill I got some frame drops to 48 fps at times.
@@distantthunder12ck55I have a 3060ti as well and I too get 2-5 frame drops. I don’t have a g sync monitor so I was wondering if GSync would fix the stuttering at least.
tex: max anti alias: on high ssao: high shadow: medium lighthing: medium effects: max volumetric: medium reflections: high water surface: high global: high grass: high
Texture Quality - Max AA Quality - High SSAO - Max Shadow Quality - High (Max 20% impact on performance) Lightning Quality - Medium Effects Quality Max Volumetric Quality - High Reflections Quality - Max Water Surface Quality - High Global Illumination - Max Grass Quality - High I'm playing on 3060ti (after Erdtree dlc some traversal stutters and game stutter sometimes when display ghost of another player) but I think it's not graphics settings related
We need more videos like this with every game. Especially with how demanding/poorly optimized games are becoming its great to know how much each setting impacts game and in what why. Especially if you have a budget GPU and need to get every fps out of it since the cost to upgrade keeps going up.
This wasn't the video i was looking for, but i had to drop a like, for the extensive effort you put into optimizing the gameplay experiance. i respect the work you put in
tldr:- everything on max except shadow and grass on high and volumetric on medium or high ps you can disable sharpening chromatic abberation and vignette through mods giving a better looking game with performance gain and motion blur in ingame settings
Great video! So many others are just misinformation and you even have information on stuff Digital Foundry failed to see, like the reflection and water surface quality!
Thank you for the quick but detailed explanation and comparison of all the settings! The quality of your video is far above most other relevant videos I watched regarding this topic. Keep up the good work :)
Great video. perfectly stated. I am running this beast of a game on a 2070, and i appreciate seeing real time, the effects change. I thank you. My gpu fan thank you. Subb'd.
Depth of field in gaming is often as in the case of Elden Ring the setting for when or if distance fog is applied. You couldn't tell because you looked for the wrong thing.
Because the better the gpus become, the lazier the developers become and the more games are about graphics and graphics alone, reason for which this cycle repeats and we're literally committing suicide by killing the environment. We should get excited about EFFICIENCY, gameplay not maximum performance attainable regardless of TDP. Having a stable framerate is much more enjoyable than touching high fps limits but experiencing horrible fluctuations. Benchmark your systems, draw a clear line and introduce an fps cap, then undervolt your cpu and gpu to make them run cool and make them last, avoid degradation.
Just wanted to let you know that In DLC effects quality setting matter way more. That settings (It were set to MAX) was decreasing my fps by 10 (from 60 to 50 fps) in some locations. When i turened it to low i got my 10 fps back.
The video is great since the performance difference's is what's interesting. Shader quality can change the feel of the game completely though. I run with medium since high can make the whole scene glow in some instances. Effect quality is most notable in spell/effects. The difference between settings is quite large. Also higher settings add some kind of faint sharpening filter, or if it's a parallax effect adding sense of dept and contrast, dunno.

Very helpful, thank you =) #edit I came here because I felt like my game looked "off", knowing what those settings change and having a recommendation really really helps. Looks great now! Feels much better too
hey, thank you ! i use this video for my steam deck (i prefer quality than battery life, with this preset it only 1h30 lol) but it's above 40fps all the time, and almost 50 in certain area ! it's very descent, thank you again from france :)
with the foliage setting if your pc is nto that good, just keep it on medium and think the gardeners in the world are doing a pretty good job keeping grass short =))
Really well made video, thanks for your time! I’v noticed that playing on borderless makes the game feel smoother compared to fullscreen. Any opinion on that?
Thanks a lot for testing these things out man, I had such a painful experience with this game because of poor optimization and this video really helped me out to make my game perform and look decent at the same time.
Nice video I like stuff this. I don’t know why but I find little topics like this interesting. my machine can run this at max settings 60 fps I found this video quite entertaining keep it up dude
@BenchmarKing thank you for the video! A lot of people want to see Genshin Impact Optimization videos. With your dedication and how you work, you can help many people with the settings. And I hope it can give you a lot of views, coz every Genshin Impact video does, haha.
Even on max settings, there is still a lot of aliasing and shimmering on distant trees and grass, and there seems to be an intense sharpness filter that is very evident on a 1080p display. Is there a way to reduce this?
Thank you for this, my pc just barely doesnt reach 60fps on max settings and sometimes crashes in farum azula, but i never knew which settings to turn down/off without making the game look too much uglier
In Sekiro I get stable 60 fps in 1080p and maximum quality, with Elden ring I get 35fps in the minimum settings... If the share the same engine, wtf they did in elden ring?
Man WOW, i was searching a good analysis of elden ring settings and i see this ahhaha... op analysis.... i have a question, which settings are more cpu intensive? shadow quality seems to not affect quality but a Little bit cpu usage.. anyway tahbks you. Ps. you grows fast beacuse no one does this videos with dept analysis without shitty useless settings in Windows 😂
If you want performance, get the mod to disable that giant tree in limgrave. Eats a lotta FPS. And great to see yet another unoptimized AAA title, that too a combat focused one. Great going fromsoft. Wish you'd put some more optimization into your titles.
@@trainerrrss I have a 1650. Which I get ain't the strongest, but when forza horizon 5 can do 1440p 60fps medium settings, you really do have to question fromsoft's optimization
@@trainerrrss I've already optimized the game as much as I can. Do you know any other mods that will fix it? I downloaded that LOD mod that can change the draw distance quality and already removed that annoying FPS eating tree. I'm just thinking of not playing the game till I get better hardware. Just gonna pass the time with modded ds3. Hopefully I can bag a cheap 1660ti laptop soon. Until then, the 1650 will have to do.
@@siyzerix yes that's also a good thought I will recommend you to never go for an Intel CPU & ryzen GPU when it comes to laptops not to mention that an RTX GPU is very much recommended for laptop go for an RTX 3060 or 3050 at the very least and a Ryzen 5 or 7 will do great Happy gaming my friend also I'd like to advice you to stay away from mods when you're finally able to buy a good rig don't mess with the game the devs have placed everything in the game which bears an important role in your immersion
