Idk if you're on Linux, but what worked for me with Linux+Nvidia was enabling CONFIG_SGI_GRU

Thanks for the linux nudge. For anyone who is thinking about Elden Ring on Linux I was able to dual boot linux using Pop-OS! and install the Steam client, download the game and it played perfectly straight out of the box. I borked the Windows installation in the process when I disabled Secure Boot, Fast Boot, and Intel RST. I'll work on repairing all that later. I initially attempted installing Ubuntu since I have recently messed with that on another machine. I ran into the Intel RST problem and in the process of investigating that I discovered Pop-OS!. Reviews claimed it was quick to install, came with NVidia drivers (if you select that version on download), and was tuned for gaming. I did install Pop-OS! to a separate SSD drive since they're cheap enough nowadays and, after finding the upgrade info for this machine, it was simple to install. I have it all running on an MSI Aegis 3 Plus with 1080Ti. I have had an NZXT rig sitting in a box for months waiting be set up and this whole exercise was just what I needed to compel me to open it all up and set it up. It's still a Win10 box but I plan to dual boot it too.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this is a Win10box from MSI trying to run Elden Ring thru Steam. It exceeds the specs to run the game, everything is updated, etc but it hilariously white screens within seconds of starting the game. We have so far managed to optimize the thing to the point where the white screen that had taken 15-20 seconds now occurs in less than 5. Saves a lot of time when your crashes happen faster so you can move on to the next potential issue without losing those valuable seconds. It's gonna be a real treat dinking around with this later since I only know the sequence of the troubleshooting that I walked him through so I may need to unwind some of the stuff he did before he broke down and asked for help.

I forgot to ask which distro you were using. I have been looking into dual booting his machine as an option and found that people report Elden Ring runs without the glitching you can get on Windows. Thanks
