Thanks for making this video and mentioning me in it! Tarkov really needs more of this solid info circulated in the larger Tarkov creator scene so I'm glad you stepped up. Very clean, simple explanations without any of the additional fluff or exaggerated numbers. Hopefully, your video will allow a much bigger audience to get a better idea about these settings and clear up all the clickbaity misinfo that continues to float around. Good work man, and thanks again :D

Automatic RAM cleaner only activates when you enter the ESC menu. It does not do anything otherwise. It works EXTREMELY well when you press ESC though. To reproduce, go on streets, wait until RAM climbs to 24GB+ and then press escape. Observe RAM drop to 13-14GB (with Afterburner overlay). It's useful if you find that your game starts stuttering the more you stay in (as you reach the limit of your RAM). Also, a friend's game crashed at high settings 1440p on streets after the ~30th minute cause he maxed his RAM. If he enables this and presses ESC in the middle of the raid, it no longer crashes. But this can also be solved with a larger pagefile.

Hey Gigabeef, asked about this on a stream recently and you gave me a quick rundown, and now we have a full breakdown! Thanks so much for the work you do

I love your videos. It always feels like you have the best interests of your viewers in mind. It feels like you want my Tarkov experience to be the best possible and I really appreciate that. I've applied some of these tips and I've been able to further boost my FPS and retain excellent image quality. Cheers from Canuckistan.

3:20 Just a little hint for streamers - lowering textures, as well as LOD or any visibility distance setting (in any game, not just Tarkov) will increase the visual quality of your stream. Less detail in each frame means compression can leave more of the original image in and thus you get a cleaner sharper image with less blockiness especially when in motion. Probably not a huge deal if you're recording for KZfaq cause you can record at high bit rates, but maybe a bit of a bigger difference in streaming, especially if you're not hitting that 8000 bitrate. Easiest way to tell is to stand in the same exact place, looking the same exact way and take a screenshot. Check the filesize of the screenshot. The one you take with lower textures will be smaller and will need less compression when being streamed to Twitch/YT.

Undervolting CPU! I tried all these settings and every other video, got 0 fps difference almost with a 5700x, 6800xt and 32gb ram. Tried undervolting my CPU and I went from 30-40fps in bad areas of streets and 50-60 in others to 60-90 on the ENTIRE map and no drops in fps when facing players. Also increased fps by 30-40% on other maps. Absolutely insane change for me. I used the values from just one of the most popular videos on the 5700x, I feel like I'm crazy being one of very few talking about this, but I saw some guy on reddit rec this so here I am. If you are someone else with a really quite good pc like me who still struggles give this a try. EDIT: Warning, I'm not educated on undervolting, I only know it has worked wonders for me. I'm currently trying read up on it more to make sure I'm not potentially harming my hardware, I suggest you approach this with caution.

Fantastic video as always, Gigabeef! Can't express my gratitude enough for all the information you share!

Great job man, keep it up! :) I'm up from 60~ FPS to 75~ on Streets and this map is my only concern at the moment. Thank you. 😊

Something I was testing today was ReBar with Nvidia Profile Inspector, enabling it for tarkov gave me around a 10-15% fps boost.

LOD Quality is actually pretty taxing on the CPU; however, LOD Quality also affects how far player and scavs models are rendered when unscoped. It's typically not an issue though. LOD 2 is 200 meters. LOD 4 is 400 meters. So if you had it set to 2, you won't see players at 300 meters unless scoped, for example. This is only really an issue on longer range maps like Lighthouse and Woods, maybe Shoreline. I usually play on 3. On sniping maps I set it to 4 and on Streets I use 2. Adaptive Sharpen is way too taxing on the GPU for what it is. Set it to 0 (even 1 is bad) and just use the regular Sharpness setting. It has basically 0 affect on performance and looks just about the same. If you're trying to take advantage of GSYNC/Freesync/VRR, at the very least set an FPS cap below your monitor's refresh rate. But you really want to use an FPS cap that you can hit 90+% of the time. So if you had a 240hz monitor, setting a 235 FPS cap isn't great IMO, set it to something like 100 or 120 - whatever FPS you can maintain the majority of the time. Also, turn ON Vsync. Yes, turn it on and turn off Nvidia Low latency and reflex. Seriously just try it. Here's why an FPS cap and Vsync ON is best with VRR (smooth config): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fduSZMV6lpizdI0.html I have a 5800x3d, 3080ti, 32GB RAM. I play at 3840x1620 ultrawide (nearly double the resolution of 1440p) and use an FPS cap of 116. My monitor does 120hz max but I can also maintain 116 FPS most of the time. Frame times are super consistent, there's no screen tearing or microstutters. My Rivatuner frametime graph is just a flat line - it's seriously butter smooth. Streets is still not great tho and has pretty big FPS fluctuations. Streets is a massive CPU bottleneck as my GPU is only at 40-50% usage so there's not anything I can do besides upgrading to a 7800x3d for only 10-20% more FPS.

Love the music in this one Beef, keep it up this was perfect timing for me!

This video is FANTASTIC - explains what everything does, shows examples in real time and gives people an idea of how to get the best bang for buck with their system

I was the guy who asked for this in your live chat, absolutely wild how quickly you got this out. Thanks for being the best in the game.

Got no rea; evidence of this other than when playing and noticing it, but me and a friend tried the lower texture on streets setting. We found our fps was actually worse with this setting on, not sure why. But as soon as we switched it off our fps improved back to where it was. We have pretty old PC's, but worth mentioning!

thanks was just thinking about this a lot today

Hi I have 32gb ram, rtx 3070 and just went from 5 5600x to 7 5800X3D and I get over 100 fps now on streets almost everywhere and every raid. Other maps is 120-140 all the time. The overall visibility are in fact a huge performance setting (at least always been for me) set it on 400 and see if you don’t get a huge boost in fps my man. Thanks for the video

The Mip streaming problems were a source of frustration. Thanks for helping me fix that

Thanks for this mate 👍

Life saver, thank you

Personally I followed your video where you upgraded from a 3700x to 5800x3d this wipe and I found I now get 90+ frames on steets

Went from a Ryzen 3700x and 5700xt nitro + to a 7800x3d and 7900xtx nitro+ combo. Absolutely love it.

Hey @Gigabeef! Great video! But do you experience stuttering in the first couple of minutes of any raid? Especially on streets? The frame rate times are all over the place in my case. Even tho' I get 70+ fps constantly and I have the exact build as you. Do you experience these stutters as well? I really don't know how to fix, I've tried everything...but maybe it is normal and I'm not the only one?

Auto Ram Cleaner only seems to work when its A) Turned on AND B) You hit “ESC”. While in this exit Menu you can see ram being offloaded in MSi Afterburner. I can recreate it at will in Raid. Ram usage will drop from say 20GB down to 14GB.

i actually was having issues with ghosting on my reticles which is why i turned it off but i loved the video :D

thank you beef man

I was feeling low fps this wipe... Thanks to this video I realized I've been on high texture quality (I didn't realize it reset) :') I'm up 20fps from yesterday

hopefully this helps me, I've been having really bad issues with clarity and being able to see in the game for some reason, stuff beyond 30 meters becomes so blurry pixelated that I'm having a hard time doing tarkov shooter because I cant even hardly see the scavs at that distance

Dude, I litterly just coppied your settings from your last year video lol. Was wondering why everything was loading in so aweful, Mip Streaming not working explains it. Thanks for the good explanatory video's. You know what you are talking about techwise. Also I finally could craft 366-APM and they banned it from the flea 🥲 bit of a bummer, but probably for the best.

Im playing on 1440p, cpu upgraded from 3800x to 5800x3d, i noticed some minor improvements on maps other that lighthouse and streets, maybe more frequent high fps. Then upgraded gpu from 5700xt 8gb to 7800xt 16gb and saw massive improvement, specially on lighthouse and streets! I love to run lighthouse now since scoping in does not tank fps at all. Edit: 32gb 3600mhz gskill ram

So happy I just got a monster PC. I9 14900k with a 4070 and 64gb DDR5. Streets i get around 90-130 max. DLSS is so fire for 1440. Helps a bunch. My 2060 and i7 8700 was poo poo

I have nearly an Identical setup (3700 RTX + Ryzen 7 5800X3D) and can totally back you up on the CPU claim: this game absolutely benefits from the extra cache on there. The performance I saw after the upgrade was almost unbelievable.

For those of you with older processors, especially intel processors, if you’re getting frequent stuttering ( frames dropping over and over again when you’re moving around ) there’s a good chance turbo boost is causing the issue. If you can’t disable turbo boost through your bios ( older laptops like mine ) Throttlestop has an option to disable it. You will absolutely lose performance, but if you’re constantly stuttering like I was, having your processor run off lower ghz but remaining stable is a much better experience. My particular issue is heating related, with the cpu boosting up to 4ghz but then having to throttle back down to avoid overheating, over and over and over, making tarkov in particular unplayable.

nice vid ta, i was playing this game on my friends pc he has 12700k and 6700x ,i have the 5800x3D same gpu and i get better fps,so you right about the 3D cache

I have 5600x cpu and checking the "use only physical cores" did boost my fps by 5. Overclocking my gpu (stable overclock) boosted my fps by another 5. Also, USE AUTOMATIC RAM CLEANER! when your raid feels sluggish or you've been playing for a while. All you have to do to clear ram is hit ESC and bam. Ram is cleaned up instantly.

For me, there was actually a distinct difference between running it with fullscreen optomizations and the dpi scaling on or off, with them both off i consistently gain about 10+ average fps, i've tested a few times and out of everything ive ever done to this game that one made the biggest difference for some reason.

yes i wish i also could have different postfx settings saved in game based on map and daytime

Perfect timing, im just picking partsto build a new pc and thinking which GPU to buy, but that debate between DLSS and FSR settled it, thanks

Automatic ram cleaner works, but only when the pause menu is displayed. Leave it on, if you have stuttering, pause and wait for a bit, you'll probably get a stutter on pause or some point shortly after.

I know it isn't in the scope of tarkov settings - but a big difference that I found is in some BIOS settings on your PC. Make sure your RAM has XMP enabled, and I personally found that having my hyperthreading off helps, as Tarkov doesn't multi-thread super well. Your mileage may vary though!

gigabeef is the comprehensive explanation GOAT

As 5800x3d user I've noticed that Tarkov runs much more stable with SMT disabled especially with discord (which actually causes a lot of trouble) in the background while use only physical cores setting seems to do nothing in this regard. As for RAM cleaner, this is very dependent on OS you use, for super light W10 builds as I use game runs without RAM cleaner for like 10-15 min an then turns into a 5-10fps slideshow (with 32Gigs), so its situational.

For everyine, Mip streaming works, that's the purpose of it. It will not load all textures, items, etc, only when you get in touch or close to them. When you loot items, it will show them loading, that's the purpose of MIP Streaming to give your PC a slack on loading everything, if you have a lower end.

I honestly think there should be an overall lower texture resolution mode and a way to toggle the character on the loading screen on or off that would help load times and performance (at least for me)

Anisotropic filtering hasn't had a measurable performance hit in at least 20 years, I have no idea why it's even an option. Z-Blur, chromatic aberration, noise and grass shadows are all post processing and have very little performance impact, but they will make it harder to spot enemies in specific scenarios. Z-Blur hinders you the least and looks nice, so I keep it on. Shadows and HBAO are your biggest enemies in wooded areas.

I'm really enjoying 0.14 so far. But holy cow. The fact that Tarkov's textures were already dated when it entered Beta in 2017, and we still have to downgrade texture quality in 2024 to maintain a playable fps on mid-high end machine is really baffling. Hope the updated Unity engine can fix some of this and give the game a face-lift as Nikita implied.

Automatic ram cleaner does work. But only when you esc-key when in raid

I upgraded from a 3700x to a 7800x3d and went from like 30-50fps on streets to like 110+

With Ryzen 5 7500F getting around 80-120 fps on streets worse case scenario it drops to 70s not to mention scopes but overall streets runs pretty smoothly and also im only on 16gb ram

Hi, i got i5 12400f, 3070 and 32 gb3600hz ram however i on maps like shoreline/lighthouse etc i get drops from 120 fps to 60-70 is that my cpu is just bad or my optimization just sucks ? (i do play on medium texture setting but it doesnt matter cause its same as in low )

Recently, I've seen a huge FPS boost using mip streaming and DLSS. I have a 3060 TI and a i7 10700k. I use the smallest settings on mip, and dont mind the play dough since I get 100+ frames actively while playing.

Also you can do PBO tune on your 7 5800x3d, I just got mine and did PBO -25 on all cores, and I get on all maps well above 100fps with rtx 2070 and 32 gigs of ram

The only thing I have done this wipe was check lower the textures for streets. I got a 1070 card and content with playing at 60fps at 1440 with mid settings.

My laser has been having a trail for a while now and I never knew what caused it…. I feel like I do now.. gonna check when I get home and test this out

Love the video gigaqueef

i used to run a separate ram cleaner since i only have 16gbs of ram but it actually stuttered my game... later i tested out tarkov's automatic ram cleaner actually works the best, it's just a lil finicky since you gotta pause and un pause the game for it to kick start. i run a 2070, 5600x, 16gbs of ram. physical cores i left off. i promise the automatic ram cleaner is a god sent!!!!

I went into factory at night and went into the room by dead scav and found out dlss quality and hbao off i could see just a little tiny bit better. Just a heads up.

my 1050 ti and 5i has a rough time with reserve

do you have the 240hz or 165hz ultragear? do you recommend your monitor?

I will need to see how well this works. I literally can't play streets this patch for some reason. Whenever I try my entire PC legit shuts off.

I have the problem of mipstreaming but it's off. I guess is still recognised on after the initial test I did and from time to time I have this issue

Ram cleaner works only when you press escape,so when your game starts stuttering hit escape

THE AUTOMATIC RAM CLEANER WORKS LIKE A CHARM FOR PEOPLE WITH ONLY 16GBS OF RAM, the turn on and off myth in raid works..... i personally have it on before i load in so when i'm in game, then all i need to do is pause the game for the ram to clean up and then i disable it. occasionally re enabling it time to time.

do you play dlss on every map? or do you just use it so u can play streets with good fps? thx alot great vid as always!

process lassou lol

Hi Gigabeef, thanks for the tutorial. I'm wondering if this is my set up or in game options. Currently I am playing on cpu AMD ryzen 5 2600 x and gpu AMD radeon RX 5700 XT. I have 16gb RAM. Basically streets does not load at all, or if it does it is just unplayable. I can barely move, fps spikes are insane. Loading to Lighthouse also is an issue, it takes around 10 minutes to load the map, but at least it is playable. Other maps are loading perfectly, and I can play them with no problem. Could you advise if I am having these issues bc of my setup? Would the in game settings change anything? Thanks.

For the option "Only use physical cores" it worked dramatically on my PC for a short time until I did a complete fresh install of everything on my computer and now the setting does absolutely nothing for my system. I wish I had more experience and knowledge of the operation and internal stuff going on to get a better understanding of why that was. To be fair as well I don't think my CPU was actually performing properly until I had done the fresh install.

Try using the Ultima thermal camera and a holo sight together with DLSS on, ghosting is awful can't use it until fixed

o yea its gigabeef here

The mipstreaming thing for some reason only happens on factory for me, i didnt turn it off regardless because it didnt seem like i was getting any performance boost out of it either way. No issues on Shoreline for me, really only streets still sucks, im on 8gig vram too, but i got 48gig ram, maybe tarkov wants more than 32 now? lmao

Hi pls... i can see everyones iniatila screen woth tsrkov so clear. Even on 1440p. I have That "escape from tarkov" blurry. Idk why. Cant be the monitor. Right? Or it can be?

I really enjoy vids like this even though nothing really seem to help and i just need to get an upgrade for my 13 year old cpu 😂

HBAO set to max performance makes everything run much smoother for me

so i tried low latency in nvcontrol. and i gotta say i had better experience with it ingame off and nvcontrol on. i will try it now again. I disabled PostFx and turned in nvidia control gamma to 1.49 and digital vibrance to abt. 70. i think the game looks so way better and since then i can really easy spot ppl which was really hard for me( new player) will test around and maybe i edit or commment if someone wants results :D

I cant wait for them to do a full engine revamp and optimize the game so im not constantly loading every entity on the map through my cpu at all times.

I've been having tons of perfromance issues and blamed it simply on Tarkov having shit optimization. Just noticed that the game randomly changed my settings to hight textures and ultra shadows...

if anybody is due for a CPU upgrade i highly recommend the 5800X3D. it makes tarkov run like butter on streets at 1440p. i recently upgraded from a 3700x where i was getting 50-80fps on streets, now i’m getting 90-120 at all times depending my location on the map. the 1% low increases delete the old stuttering and inconsistent frame drops.

yea currently im CPU cooked i5 5600kf. Id go for 5 5600x but idk if its gonna be a drastic improvement, 7 5800x3d sound great but a bit pricey for my liking but performance wise is crazy

I have the same graphics card... feels good to be represented

nice video man. just a question. I have a ryzen 7 5800x3d but mine runs at 3.40 ghz. u know how to boost it to 4.30ghz?

I tried turning mip streaming on recently and jesus christ textures take like 5 minutes to load lol, factory looked like I was playing on a ps2

Eyy, we have the exact same computer!

the textures setting resetted 3 times for me this wipe now, i started to allways check it

what do you think about 3700x to 5700x3d upgrade in tarkov? dont have much money, cant afford something much better

I did everything you said, but the green aura around the arms and weapon still doesn't appear.

well crap.... textures reset to high for me too and didnt notice till you said something. i just thought 14.0 was too much for my little 3070 too

i tried to put all my settings to the lowest possible for maximum fps, including stretching the resolution. Which was successful until a grenade landed anywhere near me and would lag/crash my game

if you have a 3070 like jigglebeef go into nvidia control panel and change your refresh to adaptive it locks you at lower frames but it runs MASSIVELY better less tearing and such helped for me

Running a 4070ti with a 10700k (until I can afford a new cpu) @1440p and most settings on high and get 70-90fps depending on what map, area etc. Cpu only ever 35-45%. Gpu 80%.

Hey when I use the new Wilcox sight I notice that the other reticle tend to like lag on my monitor screen, as if the pixels are staying on the screen then it should be. Haven’t noticed this on any other sight. Is it specifically on this sight? Is this like a nerf? Or is something wrong with my monitor? I have only been able to use the one little dot on this sight. Please help me because I would like to use the other reticles on the wilcox sight but can’t because of this pixel lag issue!

I have a 3060 with 12 GB of VRAM and I loaded into Streets on SPT and got like 1 FPS...it was an actual slide show. I walked down to across the street from Lexos, saw the BTR, shit my pants and dove into a Burger king....then died never really knowing what hit me.

What a goat

I went from 60-70 fps to 175 fps from changing to these settings, thank you Gigabeef!

ALLO EVERYONE

SSR has nothing to do with scope modes - you couldn't see the reflections because the source of the reflection was not on your screen space.

even with my 4090 tarkov is rough

Is DLSS quality at 1080p worth it?

I went from 40-50 fps on streets with a 10600k to 140 fps with 7800x3d. Best decision I've ever made. (RTX 3080, 32GB RAM)

bro said only 8gb of Vram on 3070, while I am here gaming on a 1060 6gb.

What nvidia color settings u use : “brightness-saturation-gamma- digital vibrance”

Needs to be updated for the return of foliage with the latest patch. Streets performance is awful now.
