How to Get 144Hz in Elden Ring on RTX 4080

Exploring the Lands Between is a brutal but beautiful experience. Yet... if you are rocking a high-end rig, that hard 60fps cap feels like a massive letdown. Wondering how to get 144Hz in Elden Ring on RTX 4080? You are not alone. South African gamers pay good ZAR for premium hardware, and you deserve every single frame. Let us unlock the true potential of your setup ⚔️.

Why is Elden Ring Locked at 60fps?

FromSoftware famously ties their engine physics directly to the framerate. Historically, going above 60fps used to break their games entirely. Thankfully, the PC modding community quickly stepped up to solve this issue. To push those extra frames at high resolutions, you need serious graphical horsepower. If you are currently running an older GPU and want to join the high-refresh-rate club, you might need to browse our latest graphics cards to find a worthy upgrade.

Steps to Unlock 144Hz in Elden Ring on RTX 4080

Achieving 144Hz in Elden Ring on RTX 4080 requires a reliable third-party tool like Flawless Ultrawide or the Elden Ring FPS Unlocker. These nifty applications patch the game memory in real-time to remove the restrictive framerate limit. Whether you build your own rig or prefer browsing top-tier custom gaming PCs, the unlocking process remains exactly the same.

For those who want a plug-and-play solution without the hassle of building from scratch, our pre-built desktop systems offer the perfect foundation for high-framerate gaming right out of the box.

Optimising Settings for Maximum Frames 🚀

The RTX 4080 is an absolute monster boasting incredible rasterisation performance. However, to sustain 144fps at 1440p or 4K, you still need to optimise your in-game settings. First, turn off Ray Tracing... it is incredibly demanding and often causes stuttering in the vast open world. Keep Volumetric Quality on High rather than Maximum to save precious frames without losing visual fidelity.

Even if you prefer gaming on the move with high-performance gaming laptops, the RTX 4080 mobile variants can easily push past 100fps with these exact tweaks. Just ensure your laptop cooling is up to the task.

You can also look into DLSS 3 Frame Generation mods created by the community. These mods use the AI tensor cores on your RTX 4080 to literally generate new frames, making that 144Hz target a breeze. Experiencing the game at a buttery smooth framerate completely transforms the combat mechanics ⚡. Your dodge rolls feel more responsive, and parrying becomes significantly easier.
