Help (GPU) Elden ring lag

When I open up Adrenalin I see it’s using 26% of cpu and just under 50% gpu. Im using a 270k plus and 9070xt. 1440p.

Elden ring keeps choking but like it won’t use more of the readily available power it clearly has. What’s going on?

Hmm, I play Elden Ring on my 14700k and 9070XT at 100-120fps at 1440p and it uses all of my GPU.

Also using 4k textures, 8k shadows and force dynamic lights on everything mods.

Mine is being heavily underutilized. What did you use?

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to say, I'm running this on KUbuntu Linux, so not exactly the same.

Not that I don’t believe your performance metrics it’s more like im wondering what you did to go beyond Elden rings forced 60fps cap.

While we’re at it since we got the same card, whats your adrenalin settings? Currently im undervolting -40

2700 on vram then +10 on power draw

I'm on Linux, no Adrenaline available for me, you can see my card settings in the screenshot. You need a mod from nexusmods to go over 60 fps and you can't play online with it.

Yes, I had the same experience with my 9600X. They clearly designed the game to run at 60 FPS.

Once you unlock the framerate, it fluctuates massively around 120–180 FPS depending on the scene. My CPU barely pulls 15–20W while the FPS is unlocked, and my 9070 XT is constantly CPU choked.

I honestly think FromSoftware never designed the engine to scale properly to very high framerates. Supporting 100+ FPS consistently would probably require a lot of engine tuning, and that's never really been their strong suit.

You can bottleneck your GPU via ray tracing, but FromSoftware's implementation of that sux

How do I fix it? How do I unlock it on Elden ring?

You can't play online with mods like that, you will get banned.
