Can the NVIDIA RTX 3050 run Elden Ring? (2026)

✅ Yes

~60 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3050 is a entry-level card with 8GB of VRAM, and Elden Ring is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 60 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 60 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	60	60
1440p	45	60
4K	25	53

💡 Elden Ring: Engine-locked to 60 FPS — aim for a rock-solid 60 rather than more.

At 1080p expect around 60 FPS, at 1440p about 60 FPS, and at 4K roughly 53 FPS with optimized settings. Elden Ring doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
