ELDEN RING on GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Well above recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is well above ELDEN RING's recommended spec. We estimate ~123 fps at 1080p high (range 99–148, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~86 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 11 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

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: ultra preset
  • 144 fps at 1080p: medium 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 Ti back.
  • Processor needed for ~123 fps: Ryzen 5 5500X3D 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 123.

Video memory

  • GeForce RTX 2080 Ti: 11 GB
  • Minimum spec: 3 GB (+8 GB headroom)
  • Recommended spec: 8 GB (+3 GB headroom)

Cheapest upgrade for each target
