When it comes to the Souls-like genre, no one does it better than FromSoftware. Currently, their most famous title is Elden Ring, a spiritual successor to the Dark Souls series.  Elden Ring is an open-world RPG where you have to roam around in the Lands Between and fight many unique enemies to become the Elden Lord. The base game is very well optimized and runs very smoothly. 

Additionally, the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC takes you to a completely new dimension to play in. The area is so massive that it almost feels like a whole new game. But with it come major optimization issues that take a toll on many graphics cards. However, with the launch of Nvidia’s RTX 5060, you can play Elden Ring smoothly without any performance issues.

  • As you can see, you can use maximum settings on both resolutions. However, you have to tone down the ray tracing while on 1440p because the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC can be poorly optimized in a few key locations. 

  • We do not recommend aiming for 4K resolution with an RTX 5060. That is well suited for the RTX 5060 Ti, as it can have up to 16 GB of VRAM.
