ELDEN RING on Radeon R9 380X
No. The Radeon R9 380X is below ELDEN RING's minimum spec (GeForce GTX 1060 3GB). Our model still estimates ~62 fps at 1080p low (range 50–75, medium confidence, ±20%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 9050 4GB (~60 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 62 | 44 | 26 |

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: low preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon R9 380X back.
- Processor needed for ~37 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~37 fps.
Video memory
- Radeon R9 380X: 4 GB
- Minimum spec: 3 GB (+1 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 8 GB (4 GB short)
