Game Informer's review says it's "one of the best games of all time." Nice. I'm stoked for it and accept that I will get nothing done for the next couple weeks

    That’s nice. Any news on if it’s going to run alright on PC? Guess I’ll have something else to ruin my sleep schedule with soon.

      I don't know if this answers your question, but I just found this quote for you: "As it turns out, Elden Ring will [be] perfectly manageable on a range of hardware, and even if you do want to up the frame rate, there are over a dozen custom graphics options to help you get there. Below, you’ll find guide to Elden Ring’s best settings, based on my performance testing so far. But be warned: Just because it can run decently on PC, doesn’t mean that this is a particularly good PC port"

      This Brazilian article is the only one I've seen that's done some semi-comprehensive benchmarking: https://adrenaline.com.br/artigos/v/73745/elden-ring-mantem-tradicao-de-lancamentos-com-problemas-no-pc

      It looks like the game is playable at 1080p with sub-minimum standards, as long as you have more than 12gb of RAM. It's pretty unclear to me how important your CPU is though.

      EDIT: The benchmarks are before the day one patch. The biggest issues sound like some stuttering in the open world that is independent of how expensive your rig is, and hopefully something that is smoothed over in the day one patch or subsequent patches.

      fightincowboy on youtube said he ran into some fps drops on pc that seemed unrelated to hardware (cpu was like 30%, gpu like 60%) and a memory leak...i imagine that stuff will get fixed pretty quickly
