It breaks records, but technically Elden Ring still lags behind the competition. With a trick, you can enhance your experience.
What is the problem with Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree? Apart from all the achievements of the exceptional role-playing game and its DLCs, one flaw has persistently weighed heavily since release: the technology. From Software has left a lot to be desired in the eyes of many players – including a lot of FPS.
In this Reddit thread with nearly 10,000 upvotes, the lack of DLSS as a popular form of anti-aliasing on Nvidia GPUs is discussed, for example. Neither Nvidia’s upscaling technology nor AMD’s FSR or Intel’s equivalent XeSS is available for Elden Ring – despite many patches and a DLC for around 40 euros. This and more annoys some players, for example:

- Limit of 60 frames per second, missing technologies, [like DLSS], no support for ultrawide resolutions, inadequate graphics settings including missing options, mediocre performance, even on top machines
A mod rushes to your rescue with FPS
How can a mod improve FPS? The mod by huutai0007 adds exactly the technologies that many players sorely miss and that have become common in graphically intensive titles:
- NVIDIA DLSS/DLAA (requires at least a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2000 series GPU)
- AMD FSR3 Upscaler
- Intel XeSS
However, if you remove the mod, according to the mod creator, you can play online again since the save files are not manipulated. Valid save games for online play remain, you would only be flagged as a cheater while the mod is installed.
Based on the screenshots provided on Nexusmods, an improvement of around 25 percent in frames per second can be seen with the use of DLSS – while maintaining at least identical visuals.
The installation is not difficult. It essentially only consists of moving some files, selecting a target resolution in the game, and then, via a new menu, choosing the upscaling method in-game.
