To say that the biggest event in the recent game circle is definitely the release of the soul series masterpiece "Eldon's Ring", the producer of "Eldon's Ring" is "Only Wolf", "Dark Souls" and other works of producer Hidetaka Miyazaki, the game depicts a fantasy medieval continent, bringing players an exciting adventure, the popularity of the game once released caused great discussion, on Steam has reached a million people online.
There are many small partners who have already moved forward on the road of suffering, and many small partners are waiting and watching, what is the configuration need of this latest masterpiece? What graphics card should we buy to play this masterpiece smoothly? Don't worry, Ranger Network used all the graphics cards between NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 ~ NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 this time to test the game, divided into 1080P, 2, 4K three different resolutions three modes, corresponding to players with different screen types, hoping to help players choose the right graphics card, as soon as possible into the "Eldon Ring of Law" wonderful world adventure!
Test platform
Our CPU part uses the Intel i9-12900K and Z690 motherboard platform for testing, the memory module is DDR5 6000MHz, and the GPU part in order to eliminate the performance difference caused by the graphics card of different graphics card manufacturers, so our graphics card uniformly uses the video card of the Rainbow iGame family series, the specific configuration is shown in the following figure.
We run the map on the plain in front of the game castle to see the average frame performance in ten minutes, the upper limit of the lock in the game frame of "Eldon's Law Ring" is 60 frames, so we do not turn on vertical synchronization and automatic adjustment of rendering options, based on 60 frames to see if you can play smoothly, due to the optimization problem of the game, we record the occasional frame drop as 59 frames.
The test scene is near the castle gate, where multiple monsters gather, you can test the complex scene pressure performance of the graphics card on the same screen with multiple people.
1080P
First of all, let's look at the 1080P screen that players use the most, at this resolution, how many of our graphics cards can play smoothly?
After testing, we found that almost all GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards can play Eldon's Ring, and the iGame GeForce RTX 3050 Ultra W OC 8G we used has at least 52 frames or so at the highest effects, just slightly lower the effects to play close to 60 frames, and the iGame GeForce RTX 3060 Advanced OC 12G can already be played smoothly at a very high quality at 1080P, and only a few frame drops in the middle, so if you want to get the most perfect game experience at 1080P resolution, using a GeForce RTX 3060 or above level graphics card can be very good to play, and after the official release of the follow-up optimization patch, GeForce RTX 3050 can also get a good experience.
The GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card is completely stress-free operation, and there is still a lot of margin in performance at 1080P, so the configuration requirements of "Eldon Ring" are quite good.
For players playing under 1080P, we recommend that players use GeForce RTX 3060 level graphics card, we tested the use of iGame GeForce RTX 3060 Advanced OC 12G is a very cost-effective graphics card, this graphics card is almost wrapped in thick alloy armor on the front, with a striking red "energy gathering ring" in the middle, holding in the hand feels that the material is very solid, and it adopts the "wind catcher" three-fan heat dissipation design, It is a powerful and high-quality graphics card, and players who like a hardcore aesthetic must not miss this AD OC.
2K
To 2K resolution, we found that GeForce RTX 3060 this level of graphics card can actually be a battle, in addition to some scenes will fall to about 50 frames, other scenes can hover up and down at 55 frames, players only need to lower some resolution to play smoothly in 2K, GeForce RTX 3050 is recommended to lock 30 frames to play.
And GeForce RTX 3060 Ti above the graphics card has become the perfect choice for 2K play "Elden Ring", its frame rate can remain stable at 60 frames, there will be no large fluctuations in the number of frames, so the comprehensive frame rate performance, players want to play "Eldon Ring" at 2K resolution, iGame GeForce RTX 3070 Ultra OC This level of graphics card is a very good choice.
This graphics card is based on black, wearing a "steam wave" style of dazzling armor, is a graphics card with iGame Ultra series cyberfunish, also equipped with iGame "wind catcher" three-fan heat dissipation design, not only has a sufficient amount of materials and personality appearance, the price is also very close to the people, the pursuit of personality players choose this graphics card is not wrong.
4K
And when we adjust the resolution of the game "Eldon Ring of Law" to 4K, there is a graphics card that can maintain a relatively stable 60-frame play in complex scenes, that is, iGame GeForce RTX 3080 Ultra W OC 10G, this graphics card is the same as the graphics card introduced earlier for the Ultra series family members, the difference is that this graphics card is covered with white armor, more eye-catching and stylish, highlighting the youthful and energetic side, Seven heat pipe reflow soldering process and other advanced technologies make the heat dissipation strength of this graphics card is very good, and iGame Ultra series graphics card is also with its own one-click overclocking function, just a light press can open the high-performance game release, very convenient and intimate.
And like iGame GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Advanced OC 8G ~ iGame GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Ultra W OC at 4K resolution at 44 ~ 53 frames of frames to run, the gap is not very large, we recommend that players who buy these graphics cards and the previous, slightly reduce the image quality can be close to 4K 60 frames to play, so we are still very much looking forward to the "Elden Ring of Law" to launch the DLSS function, It is hoped that this technology can be added in the future updates, so that more players can enjoy a high-frame rate and high-quality game experience.
After the overall experience down, the optimization performance of the "Eldon Law Ring" game can only be said to be decent, the game is not very squeezed graphics card resources, our iGame series graphics cards can achieve a good game experience at various resolutions, and the game official promises to add "ray tracing" function in the subsequent update, which is a new challenge for the pressure of the players' graphics card, we also look forward to NVIDIA's DLSS function as soon as possible to add to the game, Help players better enjoy the fun of high-quality and high-frame rate games. I believe that after reading the performance evaluation of these graphics cards, all players should have a clearer understanding of their own installed configuration, the current price of graphics cards is gradually reducing prices, with the frequent launch of "Eldon's Ring of Law" and other game masterpieces, it is a good time to choose and buy a graphics card suitable for themselves.
