The Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) is a handheld card with 4GB 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 34 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 34 | 60 |
| 1440p | 20 | 42 |
| 4K | 11 | 24 |
At 1080p expect around 60 FPS, at 1440p about 42 FPS, and at 4K roughly 24 FPS with optimized settings. Elden Ring doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
