Best Elden Ring Nightreign settings for the Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) (2026)

On a Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) (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 33FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) is a handheld graphics card with 4GB 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 33 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 53 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 30 FPS at 4K. Elden Ring Nightreign offers ray tracing, but the Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) 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.
