PC Underperforming?
PC Underperforming?
Hello everyone!
I think my system is performing below expectations, but I’m not sure why. My setup includes: GPU = RTX 2080ti, CPU = i9 9900k at 4.9ghz, RAM = 32gb 3200mhz (both sticks correctly installed), Windows 10 on an SSD.
For reference, Elden Ring often drops to 20-30fps with noticeable stuttering in modern titles like Marvel Rivals, Lies of P, and Cyberpunk. I’m playing at 2560 x 1440p, but lowering the resolution doesn’t improve performance. I’ve confirmed I’m connected to my GPU, not my MOBO, and hardware acceleration is enabled (disabling it doesn’t help). My drivers are updated, and in-game settings seem to have minimal impact.
On an older build (GPU = gtx 1070ti, CPU = i5 8400, RAM = 16gb), I rarely experienced performance problems with Elden Ring.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Lewis
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's standard to provide full system details. Please format your build like this:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
RAM:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Include the age of the PSU along with its make and model. Also, BIOS version for your motherboard at this time.
On my previous build (GPU = gtx 1070ti, CPU = i5 8400, RAM = 16gb), I seldom faced performance problems with Elden Ring.
Did you replace the OS drive on your older system without reinstalling it on the new one?
Alright will do, thank you!
