Best Gaming PCs for Elden Ring

Elden Ring is GPU and VRAM-leaning rather than CPU-bound, and it ships with a default 60fps cap, so a current mid-range card comfortably pins 60fps at 1440p with headroom to spare.

Elden Ring Performance

Elden Ring is GPU and VRAM-leaning rather than CPU-bound, and it ships with a default 60fps cap, so a current mid-range card comfortably pins 60fps at 1440p with headroom to spare. If you want to run beyond 60fps you can lift the cap with driver-level frame generation or a community mod, at which point a faster GPU and a strong X3D or Core Ultra chip keep frame pacing smooth.

In-depth

Everything you need to know

Hardware breakdown, build recommendations, and tuning advice for Elden Ring.

Elden Ring is FromSoftware's sprawling open-world action RPG, a vast and punishing journey across the Lands Between in search of the shattered Elden Ring. It pairs the studio's trademark demanding combat with a gorgeous, weather-swept world of crumbling castles, fog-laden swamps and towering bosses, and the experience only grew with the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion and the co-op-focused Nightreign. Beautiful, brutal and endlessly atmospheric, it is a game that rewards patience, exploration and a PC that can hold a rock-steady frame rate when the screen fills with spectacle.

FAQ

Common questions

What GPU do I need to run Elden Ring well at 1440p?

For 1440p with maximum settings and ray tracing enabled, an NVIDIA RTX 5070 or AMD RX 9070 holds the game's 60fps cap with ease and gives you plenty of spare headroom if you lift the cap. Every CREATE PCs machine is hand-built in Stevenage and tuned so the card runs cool and quiet rather than throttling mid-fight.

Is Elden Ring more demanding on the CPU or the GPU?

It leans on the GPU and video memory far more than the processor, so spending your budget on a stronger graphics card pays off most. That said, a current AMD Ryzen 9000 or X3D chip, or an Intel Core Ultra, keeps frame pacing smooth and traversal stutter to a minimum, which matters a great deal once you uncap the frame rate beyond 60fps.

How much RAM should my Elden Ring PC have?

The game recommends 16GB and that is the sensible floor for a smooth experience. We fit 32GB of fast DDR5 as standard on our gaming builds, which leaves comfortable room for Windows, a browser and Discord running alongside the game without any slowdown.

Can a CREATE PCs build run Shadow of the Erdtree and Nightreign at 4K?

Yes. The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion and Nightreign share the same engine, and an RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT will hold a locked 60fps at 4K on maximum settings, pushing well past 100fps once the cap is removed. We build every PC to order, back it with a 5-year warranty and can spec it precisely around the resolution and frame rate you are aiming for.
