Review Show your VRAM & RAM Usage in Elden Ring
If you want to preview your CPU and GPU utilization while in-game, using your built-in Xbox Game Bar overlay is suggested. When using the shortcut Windows key + G, you can pin this performance window anywhere on your screen, and when using the shortcut again, it will stay on your main screen.

After applying your changes, you can close the game and open your Task Manager. To reduce the CPU utilization from other programs, we suggest you end some programs from running in the background, which you don't need when playing the game.
