Elden Ring runs fine on 8GB of RAM and more – PC performance testing live blog

What's really awesome, though, is that loading Elden Ring up with 8GB of RAM and a GTX 1650 works fine. You don't actually need the 12GB of RAM listed on the system requirements – though I do still recommend it.

Started out with a Ryzen 3 3300X, 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. It crashed. Loaded it up with 12GB of RAM, and it crashed again! Turns out the GTX 1050 Ti just can't handle the game at all, as it loads fine with the barely-more-powerful GTX 1650. 

That GPU will be good for 1080p low settings. If you want to go up to 1080p High, you're going to need to have at least a GTX 1660 or equivalent – think an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 or 980. An AMD Radeon RX 580 should be sufficient, too.
