Best Elden Ring Nightreign settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Elden Ring Nightreign runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 42FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Elden Ring Nightreign is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 42 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 38 FPS at 4K. Elden Ring Nightreign offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Elden Ring Nightreign supports DLSS and FSR. A free boost - but the game is engine-locked to 60 FPS, so aim for a steady 60.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced lighting carried over from Elden Ring. Heavy for a subtle gain - keep Off, especially toward the 60 FPS cap.
Texture QualityMaximum-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick over Maximum.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Spell and weather effects - busier here than base Elden Ring with three players. High smooths fights.
Lighting QualityHighbaseline
Global lighting detail. High is a clean trade.
Volumetric Lighting QualityMediumbaseline
God rays and atmospheric light shafts. Medium keeps the mood for less.
Global Illumination QualityHighbaseline
Bounced indirect lighting. High is a clean step below Maximum.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Reflections on water and armour. High is plenty in a fight.
Grass QualityHighbaseline
Grass and plant density across Limveld. A real cost outdoors.
SSAOMediumbaseline
Screen-space ambient occlusion - soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingMediumbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium keeps the image clean cheaply.
