The Nvidia RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti were initially launched for 1440p gaming at high framerates. With some tweaks, they can keep up with the most demanding games like Elden Ring at these resolutions. The soulslike title is quite demanding on PC but is locked to 60 FPS, which helps ease up things in terms of performance.
We recommend spending some time in the graphics settings menus before getting started, especially if you're coming back to Elden Ring for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
Elden Ring graphics settings for Nvidia RTX 3070
The Nvidia RTX 3070 can play Elden Ring comfortably at 1440p. Do note that the RPG doesn't have a resolution toggle. If you're playing it on a 1080p monitor, that's what your GPU will render at. Ensure you have a QHD display for the best experience.
Coming to the graphics settings, a mix of Medium and High ensures the game looks visually impressive while managing a smooth 60 FPS. The following settings list is what we recommend:
