Well a major gaming channel like Digital Foundry has called it out though. So hopefully things will change.
Or add a "performance" category and dock the score there. For me this has always been a must have category for scoring.
hah!

Digital Foundry: Elden Ring PC Performance Simply Isn't Good Enough

They will crop up. What I've found is that they are completely inconsistent.
I don't notice some of the stutter they mention like when viewing new enemies, new attacks, etc. I see them most consistently area loading area. The most terrible ones are the ones that just hit me randomly. Like I will be running to the boss room and after a few times of retrying I will get the weird stutter/catch-up. Or just randomly riding around.

So this issue seems to be shader compilation and running on latter DirectX version. It's soley on Fromsoft to make it run better since the user can't do much about it unless they keep running the game and let every shader compile which is a silly thing to do.
Can't quite signal the Durante symbol to the skies i suppose, i'll hold onto this version since it's not like i'll be playing any other games this year. When even the official twitter account is posting statements about it which is really unusual unless there are dire urgent news than i think they've got the memo.

Luckily I'm not getting much stuttering or bad frame drops yet but the screen tearing is horrible. I've put 5 hours in and it's still very playable for me.
3600/3070/32gb 4k high-max setting 55-60fps average.

The stuttering is inherent to the game regardless of hardware according to DFs findings. It affects any hardware setup and is unavoidable.
10 hours in playing on PC version with 30-50 FPS...
I guess I just can't be bothered to not play this. I only notice the framedrops, which are very annoying, but my machine isn't really the best out there. I would be annoyed with stutters too if I had a beefier PC.
Hopefully a patch will come soon which will improve the performance.

Playing the PS4 version on the PS5 is the way to go, it runs buttery smooth at 60fps. You can always upgrade to the PS5 version for free.
What does "alter res for performance" mean? Came here from the video to ask. I'm at 1440p. Should I go down to 1080? Would probably look strange.
The fact that so many reviewers gave this game perfect, or near perfect scores, despite technical issues across ALL platforms is a complete joke, full stop.
if you don't like the performance you are getting, just lower the resolution rather than mess with the in-game graphics settings.
Dang, hopefully this gets some performance patches on all platforms soon. I'm on XSX performance mode with a VRR TV, so it's been damn near perfect for me. But I should have to rely on VRR like that
Despite my tag, I work on many aspect of our gfx driver so I'm more of a gfx driver engineer with a focus on display. I have coded and worked on the D3D pipeline in the past, but not so much anymore so that knowledge is almost lost.
However, I remember working to get a very popular game to stop stuttering on our GPU. We had to rewrite our shader compilation algorithm and introduce a fast compilation method to prevent the stuttering from happening. The root was less optimized shaders were being used that caused performance degradation over time so the fix was system wide. It was similar to this stuttering for us and it took sometime to correct it. So it can be handled from the GPU side, but I wouldn't recommend it because it introduced many problems for us.

Didn't think I'd agree with this statement, but yep the game is so good I'm willing to overlook stuff I'd never tolerate in lesser games.
I play exclusively on a Series X. Tell me, how long are the load times after you die to get back into the game? I've been hearing not so encouraging things about this.
Well, I'm not buying it until this shit is fixed. Wish more people did this. The only way these devs are going to get the message.
My opinion is a game CAN'T be a 10/10 with issues like these.
i was gifted so i mostly just feel bad for the person who got me it, neither one of us is able to play properly due to overworld stutters. it'll go from around 60 to... just coming to a halt for a few frames and then you're dead, because it's a skill based action game with high damage, of course you're dead.
anyone who reviewed it highly on pc is highly questionable
games been alright for me for the first hour in 51-58fps high 1080p on i5 9400f and 1650 super oc at 1080p also have it on ssd havent had any stuttering/loading issues yet. I didnt update the nvidia driver still on 511.23, windows 11
also playing in offline mode.
also playing in offline mode.

Or they all just had top of the line hardware and just brute forced through it? Some people seem to be doing just fine at 4k60, but they have 3080 TIs or 3090s and top tier cpus
It's unfortunate though when reviewers disregard in-your-face performance or technical issues
it's happening to people with the absolute best hardware and the video goes into why, it's dx12. you're gonna face those stutters no matter what on PC
if they say they're fine they need to post proof lmao
watch the video
Elden Ring PC Performance Simply Isn't Good Enough
Over the years, From Software's PC ports have gradually increased in quality - but something's gone badly wrong with Elden Ring, starting with its profound s...

While my experience has been a lot better since I used the Reddit shader fix, I still have occasional stuttering and I have a 3090. Playing offline might be the key to reducing this for me too. I've noticed that playing online introduced more stuttering to my game, but all setups are different.
Yeah. For the people saying "I'm not getting stutters" or "buttery smooth for me": You are wrong, straight up. I don't mean to be rude but this isn't a system by system issue, it's an issue with how the game fundamentally works on PC. If it doesn't bother you, fair enough, that's great for you, but don't try to say it isn't happening on your system because it is. If you don't care much about performance and these things are not noticeable to you or don't bother you then fine (many people are in this camp, nothing wrong with it whatsoever), but just don't comment on it then.
If it's a shader compilation issue, no PC is safe unless there is a specific fix targeted for it to reduce/eliminate it.
Honestly, the load times haven't annoyed me a single time in my 10 hours of play. The performance without a vrr tv is absolutely disgusting though.
I haven't been this conflicted about a game in a long time, I am absolutly having a blast with the games content but the performance stuff has been nothing but a bummer, super glad this confirms I can't build my way out of these problems. I was up looking at new CPU's all evening and this morning!

Very informative video, pretty clear if a game doesn't have obvious bugs and crashes it's not getting docked in reviews.
I have an LGCX, so I have VRR. I was watching somebody stream the game on PC earlier and the load times after death seemed to be 3 to 5 seconds at most. If Series X load times are over 10 seconds, that's no acceptable to me given the capabilities of the box. Gonna wait and see how this all plays out.
What is that exactly?
Because despite the strong art direction, this game definitely nothing special in terms of sheer graphical fidelity.
ah the COD method of compile shaders at the loading screen after every patch or driver update for a few minutes. I'd be fine with this if it meant no more stuttering in game
Speaking of GPS, im hearing scuttle buttthat nvidia was also hacked and ransomwared recently no? I have friends in IT consulting that was scrambling last night to disable all driver auto updating in case the driver distribution was compromised too

I can replicate those stutters in the exact same locations :-(
My main question now is, should I wait for a patch or should I get a refund and move on to greener pastures?

Vsync and other screen tear preventions were one of my FAVORITE things about last gen. PS3 gen was goddam horrible with screen tearing like it would give me a headache, it was atrocious. It should never come back in a game again.
Stutters are not the only issue of the game, currently.
While super high end users (that includes less than 3% on steam btw) may be fine performance wise besides stutters and asset loads, the fact is that the visuals are saved by art direction, but technically speaking this is very mediocre and yet it cripples the majority of rigs and have frequent frame drops.
The optimization itself + the fact the settings for each option all seem wonky and force "maximum" in a lot of cases, is just pathetic.
It's also super inconsistent.
My game will be at 60 then drop to 54 randomly while nothing is happening, if i turn the camera it's gonna drop frames like hell for 4 seconds, then I respin the camera and it's locked 60.
This is just insane. Each area in the game seems to have different issues so there isn't even a "fix" that sorts it out entirely.
Well in IGN'n performance video the Series X took 19.7 seconds for a respawn compared to 6.3 on PS5.
I have to say they are about 10 seconds at most for me on XSX and they feel less. It may be dependent on location.
