THE NEW FANTASY ACTION RPG. Rise, Tarnished, and be guided by grace to brandish the power of the Elden Ring and become an Elden Lord in the Lands Between.

Quite high for min, above a PS4 Pro.

 

[Raigor]

12 GB RAM?

For what? 1080p?

Smells like bad optimization

 

[SixelAlexiS]

Yeah, considering that even on PS5 couldn't handled 60FPS I was expecting something like that... such a shame considering how well Sekiro ran on lower spec PCs.

 

[super-famicom]

This game will look great with my 1440p monitor and RTX 3080 :D

 

[vestan]

12 GB RAM is interesting

 

[wouldyoukindly]

Guess I have to skip the game for the first few years.

or it could just be another set of bullshit requirements

this isn't even the first rodeo with insane requirement on steam pages. i don't know why people take them at face value still.

 

[KillLaCam]

That's odd

 

[GravaGravity]

Yeesh my 2700x is borderline, maybe an upgrade is in my future...

 

[Dictator]

Please do not read ANYTHING into these very barebones specs.

 

[Roldan]

rest in peace 1050Ti

nah, jk. they're probably aiming for a 1060 (and 12GBs of RAM) just to cover their bases. I'm sure a 1050Ti will probably be able to run the game close to (or better than) the One S

 

[Dlanor A. Knox]

I hope my 1080Ti doesn't suffer too much at 1440p

 

[Mifec]

I'd agree going with FROM's track record after DS1. Or we're getting a DL1 situation where they just opted for next gen and settings on last gen are lower than PC low.

or just wait for release

 

[AshenOne]

Twelve Gigabytes? Cmon FROM. Also where's DLSS and FSR? Put those in at launch!

 

[Lant_War]

If the base PS4 can run this game at 30ish FPS at 1080p, these are probably for 1080 60

 

[Youngfossil]

Why the complaints about 12gb

Who, in the 2022, the year of our Lord, don't have a min of 16gb in their gaming PC

 

[AshenOne]

Most PC gamers are below 16GB of RAM who play these PAID games on PC. 8GB is probably mostly common.

 

[Sargerus]

1060 @ MINIMUM SPECS

 

[xir]

wow is this the 2nd game after Alyx to need 12gb of ram for min?

 

[wouldyoukindly]

From the Steam Hardware Survey:

 

[stat84]

I really hope sites like DF have their technical analysis video uploaded before the game releases because i have no idea where to buy the game(at least day 1)

Steam Hardware & Software Survey

A good chunk of people are at or below 12 GB. Weird post to assume everyone on PC can afford (especially in todays market) to upgrade their RAM (which also might mean upgrading their MOBO, and other parts too)

 

[DarkFlame92]

Yeah, considering that even on PS5 couldn't handled 60FPS I was expecting something like that... such a shame considering how well Sekiro ran on lower spec PCs.

Click to shrink...

At least I hope it is because the game is more taxing and not less optimized

 

[AshenOne]

From the Steam Hardware Survey:

Higher than i expected honestly but still yeah, less than half are below 16GB..

 

[Sei]

12! Gigabytes of Open World. Oh boy.

 

[Fawz]

Saw somewhere else that the FPS was locked to 60 and that there was no UltraWide support? Do we know much more about the state of the PC port this time around?

Also those specs are a joke, both for being so high on Minimum and for not giving any context for the use case these apply to and the experience they offer

 

[Ferrs]

That was a Network Test, they usually run worse than the final version.

Bloodborne NT ran (even) worse than retail.

 

[trashbandit]

The ram requirement doesn't seem particularly unreasonable for an open world game. It's better than imposing load screens because the cpu has to read from disk.

good to know, thanks!

I don't think there's been a From Software game that wasn't best on PC since the botched original release of Dark Souls.

Probably people on more low end gaming laptops are often stuck at 8GB of Ram and no way to upgrade due to being soldered. And currently people on DDR4 memory might not want to upgrade since it's a dead path versus DDR5. Currently I have 16gb of Ram and don't want to waste money on more DDR4 even though 32GB is starting to become more of the norm for high end gaming.

 

[RedHeat]

I think my 3050 will play this game just fine

Click to shrink...

i think all From Software games are locked to 60fps due to engine limitations. they aren't really designed to go beyond that but someone will mod in unlimited FPS real quick though. it might not be a great experience but it will need to do.

 

[Anustart]

Dang I meet all of those except 60gb disk space. I only have a 500mb hdd.

 

[stat84]

Yeah but what i am hoping is that the PS5 version has great performance(or much better than the NT) and get the PC version a bit later.

 

[Duxxy3]

So recommended for Sekiro is:

• RECOMMENDED:
  • OS: Windows 7 64-bit | Windows 8 64-bit | Windows 10 64-bit
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K | AMD Ryzen 5 1400
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 | AMD Radeon RX 570
  • DirectX: Version 11
  • Network: Broadband Internet connection
  • Storage: 25 GB available space
  • Sound Card: DirectX 11 Compatible

Minimum specs for Elden Ring are higher than then recommended for Sekiro.

 

[PlayBee]

Ugh I might just get it on PS5 if I can't guarantee a locked 60 on PC with my 6700k

 

[pswii60]

Sekiro ran great at a locked silky smooth 4k/60 even on my old PC, I'm confident Elden Ring will be great on my 3080 except the 60fps limit argh

 

[Deleted member 49611]

i'm happy to see raised requirements. that's just the nature of PC gaming...and with a new console generation it's no surprise the requirements are a bit higher.

i'm glad i didn't listen to the people telling me that 16GB would be enough for years. I'm seeing games use 14GB and even as much as 24GB.

But Elden Ring is playable on Xbox one and PS4 and these min specs are more demanding than similar PC hardware to those consoles. Your post makes zero sense.

 

[Blade30]

Could recommended specs be for raytracing?

 

[super-famicom]

500mb? Do you mean 500 GB? Because I don't know how you'd run anything besides a specific flavor of Linux on 500 mb.

yeah but we won't be playing the PS4/XB1 version of the game on PC so your post makes zero sense.

Click to shrink...

that's what i was thinking but this is minimum specs so they shouldn't really be including RTX cause you'd have that off. if RTX was forced then it wouldn't have a 1060.

 

[dsk1210]

Your 6700k will be fine for 60fps.

These are recommended specs are never actually properly accurate.

I played it on my old laptop with 4GB of ram so yea think requirements are bullshit.

 

[Tora]

Ram (not DDR5) is cheap anyway. It's only GPUs that are an issue

 

[Duffking]

not that you can read much into this but I do want to one day live in a world where a game can have relatively demanding specs and people won't immediately shout bAd OpTiMiSaTiOn

That's not really surprising. Sekiro isn't an open world game and Elden Ring is. Elden Ring also has a day/night cycle.
