Shadow of the Erdtree disappoints many, we help you to drastically improve the performance

It’s breaking records, but technically Elden Ring still lags behind the competition. There’s a trick you can try to improve your experience.

What makes Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree disappointing? Aside from all the achievements of the exceptional role-playing game and its DLCS, one flaw has remained heavy since its release: the technology. From the perspective of many players, From Software has left a lot behind – including a lot of FPS.

This Reddit thread with almost 10,000 upvotes, for example, is about the lack of DLSS, a popular form of anti-aliasing on Nvidia GPUs. Neither Nvidia’s upscaling technology nor AMD’s FSR or Intel’s equivalent XeSS offers Elden Ring – despite many patches and a DLC for around 40 euros. This and more annoys some people, for example:

  • Limit of 60 frames per second, missing technologies, [wie DLSS]no support for ultrawide resolutions, poor graphics settings including missing options, mediocre performance, even on top computers
  • Reddit user RaduW07 A mod comes to your rescue with FPS

    How can a mod improve FPS? The mod by huutai0007 adds exactly the techniques that many players sorely miss and that are now common in graphically complex titles:

  • NVIDIA DLSS/DLAA (requires at least an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2000 series GPU)
  • AMD FSR3 Upscaler
  • Intel XeSS
  • Danger! If you use this mod, you must first switch to offline mode, which the mod author also points out. Elden Ring’s anti-cheat systems will otherwise ban you because it will detect any tampering with the game files. This means you are depriving yourself of the option to use Elden Ring’s multiplayer features – so you will always be on a journey as a Tainted alone.

    According to the creator of the mod, if you remove the mod you can play online again because the game saves are not manipulated. Valid save games remain for online, but you will be flagged as a cheater while the mod is installed.

    Based on the screenshots provided on Nexusmods, an improvement in frames per second of around 25 percent can be seen when using DLSS – with at least identical optics.

    The installation is not difficult. It basically just involves moving some files, selecting a target resolution in the game and then, using a new menu, selecting the upscaling method in the game.
