ELDEN RING on GeForce RTX 2080
Yes. The GeForce RTX 2080 is well above ELDEN RING's recommended spec. We estimate ~102 fps at 1080p high (range 81–122, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~71 fps on high). Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 173 | 121 | 73 |
| medium | 132 | 93 | 56 |
| high | 102 | 71 | 43 |
| ultra | 81 | 57 | 34 |
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: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: high preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: low preset
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 2080 back.
- Processor needed for ~102 fps: Core i7-10700 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 102.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 2080: 8 GB
- Minimum spec: 3 GB (+5 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 8 GB (+0 GB headroom)
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in ELDEN RING; usually the cheapest.
