Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree benchmark on RTX 4090: 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 4090 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 175FPS min 103Excellent | 154FPS min 96Excellent | 115FPS min 84Good |
| High | 228FPS min 134Excellent | 201FPS min 126Excellent | 149FPS min 109Excellent |
| Medium | 298FPS min 175Excellent | 262FPS min 164Excellent | 195FPS min 143Excellent |
| Low | 386FPS min 226Excellent | 339FPS min 212Excellent | 252FPS min 184Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 49% | CPU 42% | CPU 24% |
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 4090. There is 9% 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 4090 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 175 | 219 | 254 | 372 |
| 1440p | 154 | 208 | 254 | 354 |
| 4K | 115 | 167 | 213 | 284 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 4090 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 4090 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 4090 Enough for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree?
The RTX 4090 delivers 175 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 154 FPS and at 4K 115 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
