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

Yeah I'm locked in with PS4 version now, going offline till I've finished. Hope you Guys m
I was coming into say PS4 on ps5 has performed flawlessly, is this actual working? Cause I'll be right back on pc
It worked for me and I couldn't be happier. My specs are 3090, 10700k with a 980pro SSD. I'm also using win 11.
I shared my specs because I want to see if it affects different builds. Some are saying it's not working for them.
Didn't help me much, but I haven't tried the shader modification.
Speaking of shaders, folks were mentioning DX11 instead of 12. How is that doable, starting switch in steam client config? Or is that buried in game settings somewhere?
So...
I was getting frequent but pretty mild stuffters in the overworld. Inside environments are completely stutter free for me. Menus too.
I've not yet tried to take on a boss, but no encounter so far has been made difficult via perofmance. I'm sure I will run into this tomorrow when I go back to take on the mounted boss at the start....

Is there a particular part of the game where the stuttering should be really bad, or is it just in general when moving around? I got out into the open area (but haven't got the horse yet), and outside of a few times where it dipped into the 40s, which seemed like caching of some sort, it's been at a steady 4K60 for me.
Same here unless I just haven't hit a particular part that's filled with constant stutter.

Hmmm, the reddit suggestion does seem to make things a little smoother, but I am also rocking a 3090 and am not very sensitive to this stuff so didn't notice anything awful to begin with. I also need to spend more time with it, so very possible it is just the placebo effect in action.

This actually worked really well. It doesn't do anything for areas of known slowdown like stairs or other invisible "seams" in the world but it helped a lot with random slowdown. The performance is sort of below par for the visuals but honestly I'll be able to play this fine. Gonna stop fucking around and save the game proper for tomorrow.Reddit - Dive into anything

Honestly think this fixed the stutters for me. Fighting the Tree Sentinel at the start and I'm no longer getting frame drops during its attacks, it was dropping to 45 FPS before.
yoooo I thought the performance stuff on PC was going to be overblown. I just started and y'all weren't kidding, the stuttering is absolutely out of control lmao
Damn, this seems really bad. I'll hold off and play other games for now.
Have they? I swear I remember Dark Souls games having many issues on PC ports.
Played it on my more modest PC and I just can't recommend this version of the game for machines at or slightly above minimum specs. Maybe I should have played with the settings some more, but it was rough on ultra 1080p and high 1080p. Interior was alright, but outdoors was nearly unplayable during parts (particularly and outdoor boss).
Specs are:
Ryzen 1600af
GTX 1070
16GB 3200mhz
Running this one off of a hard drive (load times really weren't as bad as I expected)

Very few stuttering in 40 minutes of playing. Yes, it does have some dips from time to time but they are rare and nothing severe like what I saw in those YouTube videos. Guess I'm lucky.
I refuse to fall into the FPS monitoring rabbit hole again so I don't know the exact numbers but feels like a very smooth 4k60-ish, VRR enabled, everything on High.
Is there any way to tweak HDR?

Yeah, I can see it's certainly made a difference for me (Ryzen 5 3600, 3080, 16gb @ 1440p). I did have one 60 to 40fps drop with nothing around as soon as I loaded up, but then it was fine for a boss and a bit of wandering. Hmm indeed...tired now, so will investigate more tomorrow. Promising though!
Holy shit this game is trash. Its hard crashed my PC a half dozen times on top of the stutter making it an unplayable fucking joke. Got my key from GMG so i can kiss getting a refund goodbye. What a complete failure on From's part back to mother Forbidden West and not coming back until From fixes this embarrassment of a port.
Love having a $2,000 rig just to have the worst playing and most unstable version of a game. God PC gaming is infuriating

Did nothing for me, still stutters in the same exact places like ds3 does. W/ 3080/3700x/980pro.
ps4(on ps5) version is locked 60, and little to no pop in
my game pretty much pauses when im fighting that first open world boss. went and did another one and it worked fine; thought the reddit fix might have worked. nope! might just get this on playstation
Well fuck.
Game runs really well for me. Like, complete butter. But when approaching "Gatefront" I experience some of that very noticeable stuttering.

6700k, 980ti, played for almost 4 hours and not a single hard freeze or extreme stutter. Pretty much playable for 99% of the time. Framerate tanked during Tree Sentinel but was till playable.
Yeah works fine for me. I made sure the toggle was off in Windows and then turned it on in the "sound and display" options tab in the game settings.
I have the same build, though I had one crash in 3 hours and maybe 2 instances of locking up for a few seconds. But otherwise, the other 90% of it was surprisingly smooth.

Playing at 4K all maxed out, runs mid 40s at the lowest to 60 much of the time. The stutters were mostly alleviated by the reddit suggestions (namely the shader cache size set to unlimited). It's not a great port but I'll be more than happy to play this tomorrow all day.
It's weird in that none of the settings really seem to matter much. Like dropping to 1440p, it still hovers in the high 50s in certain places. So I'll just YOLO it on the resolution. Hide my FPS counter and hope G-sync does its thing well enough to not really notice.

Oh Jesus... I saw the complaints, but figured I'd be okay (again). I can't even get the game to acknowledge that I don't have an Xbox controller connected. I can't figure out how to make the keyboard commands show up on screen, or work in general. I guess I could fish out my old controller to try to make it work, but I'm much more inclined to stop buying From Software games ever again.
Sorry for the late answer, but I updated my graphics driver and I also went to the graphics settings and did what this person said

Basically it was a combination of those things, I'm not sure what fixed it exactly haha

Playing at 1440p all maxed. Works locked at 60fps everywhere (incl. overworld). Very rarely when moving around I get a short performance drop that instantly goes back up to 60fps. I think it may be a caching issue but not sure. Otherwise it works pretty well so far but haven't played very far either.

I seriously must have something wrong with my eyes, because I see no issue in this video. At least not anything that would have me wanting to refund. What am I missing?!?!
There was something going on with them. I they were gone for me for a bit.
The stuttering I'm seeing definitely affected a boss fight. It was that giant you fight with a bunch of archers around you... the game froze for a second and then the timing kind of sped up to catch up. It was pretty bad.
EDIT: Aside from that I'm getting zero issues. Hope it's a bug they can fixed quickly.
You can change the prompt on the third tab iirc, the sound and display one.
Check the fps counter during attacks from boss. It constantly drops below 30 fps and there also lots of fps dips in the 50s.
Checking in after the Reddit fix! I think it definitely made a difference. It's not 100%, but I definitely see an improvement. I had to exit and restart the game for it take effect.
There's a very clear issue as even in basic areas stuttering is rampant. The very first cave dungeon, that I remember from the network test, stutters within despite having extremely limited size, asset variety, and enemy distribution. It's literally like...two rooms, two corridors, and three enemy types. Minimal asset density and variety.
The overall framerate soars, as expected, transitioning from the overworld to a more controlled, small area. But the stutters ramp up.
Pretty poor quality, really.

Tree Sentinel is the only place in the game where I've had any stutters. Everything else has been smooth.
See, my eyes! Didn't even see FPS counter. Still seems more than playable. I'll count my blessings that it does not bother me.
Still upgrading my PC so maybe I'll wait and see what the best "specs" are in the end :)
Didn't do anything for me 3080, 10850k 980 pro SSD Win11.
Did you also disable steam overlay? I just did the high performance thing and the shader cache.
Game looks awesome at 4K max settings. And I can tell would run silky smooth if it weren't for the insane stuttering issue.
I don't know if it got less bad as I kept playing or I was able to just kind of get used to it. It's not stopping me from enjoying the game at least.

Is your rig the same as DS3 or are you just seeing the issues from that game in here too?
I also had issues with DS3 that never went away but got a new rig so hoping I dont get super fucked a second time.
I tested VKD3D and the game instantly shuts down because EAC doesn't trust the DLL for it.
Unfortunately, it seems like there won't be any user fixes to fix the stuttering issues unless FROM whitelists them in EAC.
