Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree benchmark on RTX 3090: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree FPS with a RTX 3090 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 115FPS min 76Good | 97FPS min 70Good | 62FPS min 54Good |
| High | 150FPS min 99Excellent | 126FPS min 91Excellent | 80FPS min 70Good |
| Medium | 196FPS min 130Excellent | 165FPS min 120Excellent | 105FPS min 91Good |
| Low | 253FPS min 167Excellent | 213FPS min 154Excellent | 135FPS min 117Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 36% | CPU 25% | balanced |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3090. There is 14% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 3090 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 115 | 144 | 167 |
| 1440p | 97 | 131 | 160 |
| 4K | 62 | 90 | 115 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3090 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RTX 3090 has headroom to spare in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RTX 3090 Enough for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree?
The RTX 3090 delivers 115 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 97 FPS and at 4K 62 FPS at Ultra quality.
