What Elden Ring asks of your PC
For Elden Ring the publisher lists a floor of 12 GB of memory and recommends 16 GB. The recommendation runs higher than for Elden Ring in 1 of the 24 sourced specs, level with it in 14 and lower in 8. The floor runs higher than for Elden Ring in 3 of the 24 specs and lower in 18.
The source ties no video memory figure for Elden Ring to any resolution, so none appears here.
The same recommendation appears for Fortnite, World of Warcraft and Path of Exile 2.

What these figures do not say about Elden Ring
The numbers come from the publisher. What frame rate Elden Ring reaches on your machine they do not say: that depends on resolution, detail level and how processor and graphics card work together. The Performance Hub estimates it for Elden Ring, it does not measure it.
The hardware floor for Elden Ring
This floor comes out of the frame rate model: it looks for the weakest buyable part in our catalogue that the model still credits with the target rate for Elden Ring. It is a lower bound, not a buying recommendation, and none of it is measured.
For 60 frames at 1080p the model settles on NVIDIA RTX 3050 6GB together with Intel Core i3-12100. For that pair it works out 60 frames.
Elden Ring caps out at 60 frames. The game itself gives you no more than that, whatever sits in your machine.

How do I find teammates for Elden Ring?
