Best Elden Ring settings for the AMD RX 5700 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 5700 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Elden Ring runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 60FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 5700 XT is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Elden Ring is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. Elden Ring offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 5700 XT isn't built for it, so we leave it off. Elden Ring doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.

💡 Elden Ring: Engine-locked to 60 FPS — aim for a rock-solid 60 rather than more.
Recommended settings
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Added in a later patch for ambient occlusion and reflections. Since the game is locked to 60 FPS, only enable it if you can still hold a steady 60.
Texture QualityMaximum-1% FPS
Surface detail. Cheap if it fits your VRAM — keep it high on 8GB+ cards.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the sweet spot; Maximum costs noticeably more for little gain.
Global Illumination QualityHighbaseline
Bounced ambient lighting. A solid FPS-for-looks trade in the open world.
Lighting QualityHighbaseline
Overall lighting fidelity. High looks great while saving frames over Maximum.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Water and surface reflections. Moderately heavy; High is plenty.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Spell and weather effects. Lowering helps during flashy boss fights.
Grass QualityHighbaseline
Grass density and draw distance — a real cost in the open fields of the Lands Between.
Anti-Aliasing QualityHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High is cheap and keeps the image clean.
Volumetric Lighting QualityHighbaseline
God-rays and atmospheric light. High is a clean trade over Maximum.
SSAOHighbaseline
Screen-space ambient occlusion, the soft contact shadows. Medium is a good balance.
Shader QualityHighbaseline
Surface shader detail. High looks great while saving frames over Maximum.
Water Surface QualityHighbaseline
Detail of water surfaces and reflections. Moderate cost near lakes and coasts.
Depth of FieldOnbaseline
Background blur for cinematic depth. Cheap; personal preference.
Motion BlurOffbaseline
Camera blur in motion. Nearly free; many players disable it.
