Can I run Elden Ring with a Radeon RX 570 4GB?
Core speed is not what limits the Radeon RX 570 4GB in Elden Ring: it clears minimum comfortably and then meets a wall at recommended, where the game wants 8 GB of video memory against the 4 GB on this card.
Of the 5 cards that reach this same point in Elden Ring, the Radeon RX 570 4GB is the slowest - index 6 is the least this game will accept for that tier among the hardware we track.
Runs at minimum
Playable at the lowest supported settings, with nothing in reserve.

Tier ladder
The weakest link is video memory: this rig brings 4 against the 8 that Elden Ring asks for at the recommended tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.
That readout is the best this card can do in Elden Ring: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.
The same card with three different processors
In Elden Ring the processor beside a Radeon RX 570 4GB changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.
| Processor | Index | Verdict | Bottleneck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 1600 | 30 | Will not run | processor |
| Ryzen 9 5900X | 70 | Runs at minimum | video memory |
| Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 95 | Runs at minimum | video memory |
Cheapest way up one tier
video memory: GeForce RTX 3050 8GB
The Radeon RX 570 4GB carries 4 GB of video memory and the recommended tier needs 8 GB. Video memory is a hard limit: no amount of core speed substitutes for it.
That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the recommended tier - not the fastest one, and not a price claim: we hold no price data, so "cheapest" here means "least upgrade that does the job".

Questions
- Will a Radeon RX 570 4GB run Elden Ring?
- Core speed is not what limits the Radeon RX 570 4GB in Elden Ring: it clears minimum comfortably and then meets a wall at recommended, where the game wants 8 GB of video memory against the 4 GB on this card. Above that the video memory is what stops it.
- Is 4 GB of video memory enough for Elden Ring?
- Not for every tier. Elden Ring asks for more video memory than the 4 GB on this card at the tier above minimum, and video memory is a hard limit rather than something extra core speed can cover.
