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.
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
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! 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!
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.

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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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 =))
@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.
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 :)
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
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 😂

This is precisely what I look for when I search for optimized settings. Most of the times I don't find what I need. Thank you, for your work
no magic wand sad to say tho !
I really like these types of videos, just a tip puts in the end a gameplay with the optimized preset vs the ultra.
Thanks for the tip , I used to do that in my old videos , I'll do it next time.
The best video out there showing what each setting does and looks like. Amazing video keep up the great work

Does this game work on GTX 1650 , 12gb Ram and Intel core 10500
@@viswakesavan6828 yes, i can run it fine with gtx 960m

What a great guide! Thanks for putting that together it was exactly what I needed
Gran video, este tipo de trabajo es el que realmente se necesita para conseguir un juego fluido y de buena calidad, gracias.
I always come back to this video when I start tinkering with this game. Love this.
I Appreciate the Effort and time you put for this video for each setting, the Edit is very good and straight forward as well.
Loved it friend, keep these videos coming. We appreciate it.
very helpful! really appreciate the depth of your description with each setting
This is more important than any elden ring guide, thank you
Awesome... it is purely awesome, and well explained. Thanks pal
Vraiment du bon boulot, l'analyse est poussée à son maximum Good Job ;)
very nice guide man, keep it up
Another quality video, good work!!
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!
Amazing video man! You just won a new subscriber here! Keep going!
This was actually so helpful, thank you for this video
This was the only useful video that hit every point I was wondering about kuddos man
Thanks for the settings, this fixed my crashing issues. I have an RTX 3070Ti and Ryzen 5800x for anyone wondering.
me at a Laptop 3050Ti With Ryzen 7 😭
just put the shadows, volumetric and lighting in medium and that's, you've optimised the game
Thanks for the help! Nicely made video - love the timestamps! 💯
Doing the Lord's work. Videos tell you everything in under 10-minutes.

Good video, ty so much. Another sub for the books.
Nice Video 👍🏻 and you got a new Sub ❤️
Ques: Should I enable or disable auto detect best rendering settings?
And what does it do?
tex: max
anti alias: on high
ssao: high
shadow: medium
lighthing: medium
effects: max
volumetric: medium
reflections: high
water surface: high

grass: high
Much love bro you saved my time
Those are awful recomendations, you can get way better settings with minimal fps loss, watch the video and reach your conclusions lol.
@@joelhodoborgas yeah
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

Thanks a lot- Its very good video. it helps a lot :)
Awesome video, thanks bro
Also, a suggestion... Infact you've done it before.
A before and after optimised video comparison of all settings. I think you did that for GOW..
Yeah it just slipped my mind in the last few videos, I'll do it next time.
Great video Bro! Thank you....waiting for DLC
Really good and helpful video.
such a good video!! Loved it
ty exactly what I was lookning for
Great job my friend!! I fixed my pc, and trying to search some good settings before trying to play
great video, thanks a lot
Very helpful, thank you =)

Muchas Gracias! Muy util!!
Thank you so much!
Nice job. you can use flawless widescreen to uncap 60fps limit in games

Thank you brother. I owe you one.
Great video!
Thank you. This is great for us noobs who don’t know anything about video graphics!! Subscribed! 😊

Thanks man!
Excelent work
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?
For anyone interested, upscaling the game to 1440p with Nvidia DSR fixed it, but it is also taxing on the performance.
FYI, this video was uploaded when the game version was 1.05. (It's 1.10.1 now, as of late february 2024.)

I think Depth of Field might only work in cutscenes.
the optimization is CRAZY on this game i run max everything 1440 and always have 60fps
you do important work for all pc gamers
