I'm sharing a computer with my dad, and I'm curious if our setup is powerful enough to handle Elden Ring. We have an Intel Xeon W-10885M processor and a Quadro RTX 4000 graphics card. We've had trouble playing other demanding games like Assassin's Creed Origins and Forza Horizon 5, so I might need to provide more details for better help. If it turns out that our setup isn't sufficient, I'd really appreciate any guidance on how we could fix the problem or figure out what's wrong.

Have you tested the game at lower resolutions like 640x480 or 1280x720? If your graphics card actually has only 2GB, that would make sense why you're struggling with performance, but since you mentioned you have 4GB, it might not be the sole issue.
The Quadro RTX 4000 is similar in benchmarks to the RTX 3060, which is a decent card. You can use that for comparison when checking game compatibility and expected performance.
Unfortunately, if your setup can't handle Assassin's Creed Origins, Elden Ring will likely be even tougher for it. I wouldn't get my hopes up for playing it smoothly with your current hardware.
I've actually got that same Quadro RTX 4000, and I managed to play Elden Ring at 1080p without any issues! It might be another part of your hardware holding you back. How much RAM do you have? Also, the CPU plays a big role, so if it’s not powerful enough, it could be impacting your gaming experience.
If you're okay with playing at low settings around 60fps, you might want to think about picking up a refurbished office PC, like a Dell or an HP. It could serve you well until you're ready to invest in a better build later on.
