Capped at 60 FPS, Elden Ring doesn't need ultra-high-end hardware for high frame rates, but its seamless open world demands an efficient memory subsystem. While shader compilation issues have been improved, it still relies heavily on single-thread CPU performance.
This game has a built-in FPS cap of 60 FPS
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 37 to 61 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 38 to 61 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 25 to 42 FPS.
The RTX A2000 is 0% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1070) for Elden Ring. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 89% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700K).
The RTX A2000 determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, executing at maximum capacity.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $704. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 37 FPS, equivalent to 0.05 FPS per dollar.

At 4k ultra, the RTX A2000 sets the ceiling at about 24 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 112 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 79% (FPS gap: 88 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your RTX A2000 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 53% | GPU Limits CPU 68% | GPU Limits CPU 70% | GPU Limits CPU 68% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 52% | GPU Limits CPU 66% | GPU Limits CPU 68% | GPU Limits CPU 67% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 68% | GPU Limits CPU 74% | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 79% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX A2000 will struggle to run Elden Ring at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 37 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $704 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $320 GPU (Rank #21 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the GPU. For example, upgrading to the Quadro RTX 4000 (móvel) for around $900 (Rank #11 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Elden Ring, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The RTX A2000 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Elden Ring does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Elden Ring requires at minimum a Core i5-8400 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 1060 (GPU) with 12 GB RAM and 60 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-8700K and GeForce GTX 1070 with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX A2000 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Elden Ring FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
