Elden Ring PC Performance Thread | You see that mountain? You can stutter there.

If you all are telling the truth, it could be connected to Easy anti cheat. It's owned by Epic. Maybe there's some weirdness there. It's the only connection I can think of right now.
My rig:
i7 8700k
RTX 3070ti
32GB DDR4 RAM
3rd Gen NVME drive
1440p Gsync monitor
The game defaulted to the High preset so I just left it there. Played for an hour. I'm getting a pretty solid 60fps but there have been random stutters and pauses here and there. The most egregious hit I took was inside of that little dungeon you find close to the starting point with the little gargoyles in it. A few times in that dungeon the game would briefly pause for about one second or stutter. The pause happened twice and the stutter happened maybe three times.
I'm sure the Gsync monitor is masking some of these drops but so far the game definitely feels very playable but obviously less than ideal. I wouldn't want one of these pauses to hit me on a boss battle or in the middle of a big group of enemies. From definitely has some work cut out for them but this is nothing that's going to make me run out and refund the game for another version.

Yeah I take my comment back, it's not unplayable but all sorts of weird Stutters and areas where you can reproduce drops. Idk, game still looks good at 4k and runs at 60 95% of the time but something weird is very obviously going on
I'm guessing Epic Games Launcher is bundled with the latest version of Easy Anti-Cheat, so that's somehow improving performance. Perhaps the game was supposed to pull a newer version of EAC but isn't?
Does nothing, in fact windows automatically sets all my games to high performance apparently so it was already on the setting this person is saying to put it on. I've never touched this menu before so I'm sure it's the same for most other people.Reddit - Dive into anything

can't try this atm, anyone care to?
The small chance that windows decided to have elden ring on power saving mode, this may actually help, but it's not going to fix the games actual issues.
Just walking to the Three Sentinel (dude on horse) from the bonfire and there's a drop to 20fps and then another one or two during the fight.
This is worse than Arkham Knight, because at least that looked stunning and wasn't difficult.

I just wanna see what he says about the game. Should be spicy.
The stutter is really bad.
Pretty much the only time I don't have stutter is when i'm moving straight-forward.
Turning the camera suddenly causes the most stuttering - even complete freezes for a second. And that's game-breaking with boss battles.
I have 75 minutes logged so far. I think we have up to 120 minutes to request a refund.
Not feeling like this is worth $59.99 USD at the moment.

I haven't had any really bad issues like I saw in Cohh's stream where the game literally paused for a few seconds, but definitely getting fps drops that make the game go into slow motion.
Good luck. They don't generally give refunds to games once the keys have been sent. I regret preordering on GMG.
Similar setup except with 3080 and a lg cx. Gsync is masking the frame drops except when huge stutters are related to what seems to be streaming or loading of assets. Seems like vRR is mandatory for this game right now
Oh boy the fps drops are so much worse when u get your horse. Like so much worse. Im calling it for now, this is not enjoyable at all.
The game should natively support Xbox pads. Try turning off all of steams's controller configs. So then the controller is only using the native xinput driver. And not using steam for any control over your controllers.
For Playstation controllers, try doing the same----but then using something like DS4 windows to emulate xinput.
I'm on a 6900xt, very stuttery outdoors, less so in caves, gravitates between 55 - 60FPS at 4k very inconsistenly. It's very playable, but without a doubt the worst PC port i've played in recent memmory. And it's not even a graphical powerhouse, despite the good art direction.
Yep, in same boat. Usually can't refund if the game key got revealed.
Tell me about it!
I even put it to the lowest graphic preset settings and it's the exact same, massive slowdowns when the boss starts swinging or charging towards me.
So reading through this thread, how the fuck did any game journalist play through this game and NOT notice all the issues? How the hell is something like the game crashing or not recognizing a freakin' controller acceptable? Not to mention the frame rate going apeshit. Stutters can literally mean the difference between life and death in the game. did these people even play the same game as the general public?
I'm really disappointed that the game got a free pass from all reviewers for these issues. I mean most reviews didn't even mention these problems, never mind deducting points.
Any other game would get crucified for this, but the Elden Ring hype obviously granted some immunity. It may end up being a masterpiece but I still don't like the double standards being applied to the review process.

I think I solved the stutters from my small testing but will update thread more tonight if it worked for me on a 3080 in 4k.
Basically I turned from max settings to high settings on grass, volumetrics, and shadows.
I also did the set the game to high performance mode and turn off steam overlay . Was stuttering quite frequently prior to this, then after I didnt notice it at all for 3 minutes .
I'll try to do more stressful stuff but it made a difference so far.

I'm sure nearly all of them were on consoles, which of course has inconsistent framerate, but that's never been an issue for reviewers.
Someone whose beat the game share your cache please lol. Really is like cemu or ryujinx emulators.
Bizarre!
Bizarre!
I would expect the general masses (who don't even frequent forums) to not notice but reviewers not finding this a big deal is hugely disappointing.
Probably because that's the norm when you're reviewing games pre-release.
As far as I can tell resolution has close to no bearing on the performance (certainly not the slowdowns), so y'all might aswell also stutter in 4K too.
Even at 720fuckingp I can't get 60fps in the start of the open world.

So far so good, that was a good shout. I'm playing maximum settings with a 2070 Super.
Precisely, other devs would get lambasted for way less than this.
this is from one of the editors of the Brazilian PC dedicated site Adrenaline:
it basically says:
After the day 1 patch, the game is at its worst on my PC. Much more crashes and frame drops. Hitting 60fps is very difficult, to keep it (at 60) it's even worse.

glad to hear that it worked for someone. what were the changes that you noticed?
Guys, I need help.
I'm not an expert on computer stuff, but right now the framerate of my game is making it unplayable and I have big fucking black squares all over my screen.
The graphics settings is on low.
Does anyone know what to do? My gaming laptop should have the right specs though...
I was able to fix this issue by updating my graphics driver.
Spoke too soon I guess. Performance took a nose dive for me in the last half hour, so I decided to look around and I swear some of the more severe hitches seem to coincide with spikes in network throughput. I am pretty sure the anti-cheat code is at least in part responsible for the stutters. Shader cache stuttering is one thing, but this game seems to be running checks of some sort in the background and while it waits for a response, it freezes momentarily.
Thinking about switching to SX. I got beat twice by a boss because of stuttering, but damn it's so good.
runs pretty smooth locked 60 (i hate stutter judder and all that shit, bloodborne ...) in 4k max settings with a 3080ti and 12900k. only stutter i had was running up the stairs after doing the tutorial. no drops in boss fights either
