Elden Ring – Best Settings for RTX 5060

Would you like to delve into the Lands Between with top-notch graphics? Check out this guide for optimizing Elden Ring on a RTX 5060.

In terms of mastering the Souls-like genre, no one surpasses FromSoftware. At present, their most renowned creation is Elden Ring, which serves as a spiritual heir to the Dark Souls franchise. Elden Ring is an open-world RPG set in the Lands Between, where players must traverse vast territories and engage countless distinct adversaries to ascend as the Elden Lord. The game’s fundamental design offers exceptional performance and runs seamlessly smooth.

Furthermore, the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC transports you to an entirely fresh realm for gameplay. This expansive area is so vast that it seems like a whole new game. Yet, it brings significant optimization problems that strain many graphics cards. But with Nvidia’s RTX 5060 launch, playing Elden Ring becomes smooth and free of performance issues.

Key Considerations for Performance

  • As you can see, you can use maximum settings on both resolutions. However, you have to tone down the ray tracing while on 1440p because the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC can be poorly optimized in a few key locations. 
  • We do not recommend aiming for 4K resolution with an RTX 5060. That is well suited for the RTX 5060 Ti, as it can have up to 16 GB of VRAM.
