Elden Ring benchmark on RX 480 8GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Elden Ring FPS with a RX 480 8GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 31FPS min 27Acceptable | 19FPS min 17Poor | 7FPS min 6Unplayable |
| High | 40FPS min 35Acceptable | 25FPS min 22Poor | 9FPS min 8Unplayable |
| Medium | 52FPS min 46Acceptable | 33FPS min 29Acceptable | 12FPS min 11Unplayable |
| Low | 67FPS min 59Good | 42FPS min 37Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 51% | GPU 69% | GPU 89% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 0% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for Elden Ring, it is not worth it. 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.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Elden Ring 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 RX 480 8GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 31 | 39 | 45 |
| 1440p | 19 | 26 | 31 |
| 4K | 7 | 10 | 13 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 480 8GB has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RX 480 8GB is what caps the frame rate in Elden Ring. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 480 8GB Enough for Elden Ring?
The RX 480 8GB delivers 31 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Elden Ring. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 19 FPS and at 4K 7 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
