Elden Ring: Nightreignis a roguelike action RPG that changes up the formula compared to its predecessor, in favor of a more fast-paced action. Players will encounter various locales and unique monsters that are designed to perfectly embody the dread you’ll feel during yourfirst encounter with a Nightlord. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, and attempt to optimize the game settings to get the best performance on your PC, without sacrificing all the visual qualityER Nightreignoffers.
Best Settings for Elden Ring Nightreign on PC
The visual settings forElden Ring Nightreignare divided into two sections:display and graphics settings. While the display section contains some basic settings to help adjust how your game works, the graphics settings are where you’ll be able to adjust how the game looks and plays.
Although theFPS for Nightreign is locked at 60, it’s always a great idea to adjust your graphics settings to avoid any FPS drops when surrounded by enemies or a lot of particle effects.
Screen Mode
Borderless Windowed
Although Fullscreen is advised for the best performance, it’s better to use Borderless Windowed mode instead to make transitioning between in-game to desktop smoother.
Resolution
Native
Playing at any resolution lower than what your monitor natively supports will make the in-game textures blurry.
Auto-Detect Best Rendering Settings
Off
We’ll be customizing each graphics setting for the game, so there’s no need to use game-determined presets.
Antialiasing Quality
High
Helps smooth out the edges of textures like enemies and foliage.
Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)
Enhances the appearance of environments, especially the darker areas hit by light.
Depth of Field
Maximum
It does not cost any reduction in FPS, but adds a cinematic Bokeh effect that looks great in some scenes. It can be turned off if it causes a distraction in-game.
Motion Blur
Due to the fast-paced nature of the game, Motion Blur can cause the visuals to degrade, especially when in motion. Also, the effect isdistracting during boss fights.
Shadow Quality
Medium
The medium preset is a sweet spot for the shadows to look good, but not tax FPS too much.
-
Effects Quality
Some particle effects on screen can cause sudden FPS drops, especially during large-scale encounters. Best to tone effects down a bit to improve performance.
Reflection Quality
Low
The higher presets can cause a bit of a stutter in-game, especially when you’re in an area with a large number of reflective surfaces.
Shader Quality
Taxes FPS, which leads to drops in performance in certain scenarios. Players with high-end GPUs can turn it up to high.
Grass Quality
Limveld is filled with areas with overgrown foliage, so choosing a higher grass quality may lead to performance degradation over time. Medium is a great sweet spot.
Well, here are the best settings to optimize the performance ofElden Ring Nightreignon PC.The game’s pretty optimized, and the majority of players with PCs that match or exceed the game’s recommended requirements will be able to run it smoothly. However, there are cases of performance degradation in certain areas that were detected in the testing.
The optimized settings above were tested on a laptop with an i9-14900HX CPU, Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU, and 32GB RAM. Theaverage FPS were locked at 60(the game’s maximum), with 1% lows being at 49 FPS. Although there aren’t any signs of a potential memory leak issue with the game, these little hitches in performance will hopefully be patched out in the coming days.
