************UPDATED VERSION HERE: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLacdslpypbUaZs.html IMPORTANT CHANGES TO SETTINGS IN THAT VIDEO*****************

You explained every graphics setting better than 90% of 'visula overhaul' guides!

5800x3D CPU video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqlhlM2CrrqcfWw.html

I had my settings for quite a while now but I always had the feeling "it's not optimal yet". I'm definitely looking over my settings again now with the new gained info from your video! :) Thanks @Gigabeef! 🙂👍

Probably the best Tarkov performance video I've seen in years, especially due to your consideration for the game's atmosphere and fidelity.

Something interesting is that SSR set to any quality will also brighten up foliage, and make spotting inside of them easier. Definitely use it if you can spare the slight fps cost.

It’s always a pleasure go listen to GigaBeef. Videos are extremely informative, straight to the point, and idk what’s with his voice but I just find it really soothing. Thanks for the years of high quality tarkov content, keep it up man.

I really love your dedication towards making very well explained EFT videos - TY mate

gigabeef, your explanation videos are truly something else. You are easy to follow, listen to and overall you just provide a nice listening and viewing experience. Thank you.

Amazing video, very clear and comprehensive, thank you so much!

you struggle because of PC issues I struggle because I am terrible at the game we are not the same

thx for this video man ! couldn´t even run maps like lighthouse cos my pc is a bit outdated. the tutorial helped a lot and now I can play all maps.

Great and informative content, thank you!

Great job GB! The new reference vid for Tarkov performance, great stuff friend.

thanks for the up to date info mate, trying to set up a fresh install has been a pain

Oh my god this is what I’ve been needing lol, thank you so much

Not only were your tips insanely good, and way better then almost all of the cookie cutter settings videos I've watched. But it was even better because I have the same exact cpu and gpu as you. You've finally made the game run for me like how people say it's supposed to with my specs. Thank you so much, another great video as always. 🍻

Has anyone confirmed that upgrading to 32 gigs of ram helps? On streets my 16 gigs are usually around 91% utilization and runs horribly while the other maps hover around 60% and run beautifully.

Hello Gig, thanks for the video! I have 5800x3d and 6700xt but lately no matter what I try on settings I start the raids in Streets with 120fps and after 5 min game it stabilize around 55/60. I think there is something i could do but idk what. Do you have any clue on this behavior? Thanks again! Keep up with the good work!

Your explanation was really nice. I seem to have a big issue on Tarkov where my CPU utilization is around 40% however my GPU utilization is around 30-38%. For reference I currently use a 3060 ti paired with a Ryzen 5800x. From when I ran some tests it seems that nothing is being bottlenecked. I've never had this issue on any other game than EFT. I took your advice and took a look at my vRAM and noticed it is capped at 8gb and aboout 7.6-7.8gb is used when in raid. Any ideas?

Fantastic video man. Subscriber gained.

I know the vid is a bit older now but I have recently come back to the game and when i found out what the Mip streaming feature did i turned it on and it has greatly improved my fps. The only problem i am finding with it and i know a couple other people too are suffering from this too is that >in raid< the items that arent on my own pmc that are in bodys, containers, etc will not load their images and instead just have the infinate loading circle till i either inspect them or transfer them to my own invent. Was wondering if youve heard/seen this problem and know of a fix?

Tarkov even managed to fill my 3060's 12 GB of VRAM, so lowering the texture quality gave an instant ~40% frame boost on streets offline

MIP Streaming can introduce stutters. Automatic RAM cleaner makes the game request more memory than it needs so the OS can try to swap out other processes from RAM into disk, so Tarkov can get more RAM. I don't know what bad side-effects this can have but it's probably system stability. Lowering FOV can have the biggest improvement sometimes, because less are rendered at once, so this helps when your GPU can't keep up. It doesn't affect the amount of VRAM allocated as textures and such are already loaded.

Awesome video, thx ! 🙏

Oh my god, thank you so much Gigabeef. If I ever run into you IRL I'm buying you a beer

@Gigabeef, your settings are solid for sure! Unfortunately, with MIP streaming on, Tarkov becomes unresponsive when I extract or die needing to alt+F4 the game in order to get back to my stash. Missing the after raid report entirely.

I like to use MSI afterburner + RTss that's built in to monitor in some cases it helps you show evektual bottlenecks. It's really easy to see especially if RAM or VRAM are an issue, and if GPU isn't 100% it's likely CPU bottleneck

What about Nvidia Reflex low latency? I found having it on means little tear on screen, while off and vsync on makes game looks smoother

One note DLSS has side effect too it will lower your vram because you are runnning in Quality mode (66% of your native resolution 1440P)

Thank very much you! Very helpful. Please keep updating when eventually unity 21 lands.

A really good video thanks!

Thanks for the video! I would like to ask, what is the NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency? I have it on "on + boost" and I seem to be getting some FPS out of it

What should my nvidia reflex setting be on?

@Gigabeef on windows 11 its not enough to check disable fullscreen optimisations you also need to change "high dpi settings" a new window will open check the bottom checkmark there and override and set it to application the best way to verify if it actualy works is if youre ingame and you change your windows volume with your keyboard (or with mouse bindings if you do not have a volume adjust on your keyboard) you should NOT be able to see the windows volume bar anyhwere on your screen if you can see it then you did not disable fullscreen optimisations this does not work in directx 12 games tho.

Explained everything spot on best video I have seen on tarkov graphics settings by far

sine the last patch ive not been able to load a raid once loading map starts up im dc or frozen

The automatic RAM cleaner setting only cleans your RAM when you press escape when you are in raid.

just to point out something as far as CPU goes, the reason you can see low utilization % and still be CPU bottlenecked or limited is because tarkov probably isn't using all your cores. It's rare to see a game use more then about 4-6 cores on the CPU on even the most demanding games. However core count usage is not the only limit to your cpu performance. This is where the clock speed AKA the GHZ part of the cpu matters, basically the higher the clock speed the faster the individual cpu cores can process information. Think of this like running water through a pipe. Too small of a pipe (AKA not enough cores like a dual core or even most quad core CPUs) and the water is limited because of restriction in the flow, Too big of a pipe (aka a cpu with like 8 or more cores) and you wont have flow restriction, but realistically it wont use up the whole pipe it'll just be like a river flowing leaving the pipe half full. The GHZ or clock speed on the other hand is equated to how fast the water is flowing to begin with. Even in a smaller pipe a faster flow will increase pressure and allow you to basically force more water through the pipe albeit at a lesser efficiency due to the resistance basically capping you at a certain flow no matter how fast you push it. However lets say you have a big pipe AKA more cores, in this case you can basically increase the flow infinitely and it will go as fast as the water wants to go as there is no restriction in the flow based on the pipes size. TLDR basically a cpu with 16 cores will actually probably perform worse than say an 8 core CPU if the 8 Core CPU has a faster clock speed because Tarkov is not actually using the extra 8 cores that you get with the higher end CPU. That being said usually a CPU with more cores will come with higher clock speeds. It is however something to keep in mind if you are looking to upgrade your cpu. Task manager isn't the best at telling the full story basically so the utilization % is not a good metric of performance in game.

your game runs amazing man, reminds me of how this game runs on every single map like this but not on streets, very sad but i quit playing it until its actually playable. very nice video lad thanks for trying, its the though that counts !

Thanks! This made a big difference on my 4070! 👍☺️☺️

3:50 I have AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 and "only physical cores" kills my FPS. It drops by 10-15 frames and adds some freezes. My guess its performance depends on CPU type or some advanced CPU settings

One of the best videos for explaining Tarkov's graphics settings, especially the mention of mip streaming for low video RAM situations. A couple of things worth mentioning though: 1) I'm not sure about this, because the game actually doesn't grey out texture quality when mip streaming is enabled, but I believe mip streaming overrides texture quality. It will load the highest resolution textures for close stuff if it can, but otherwise will use lowest quality textures, even if texture quality is set to high. 2) The two additional mip streaming settings as you mentioned makes it so that the game streams in high resolution textures faster. It's worth trying them at their highest setting and reducing them as needed, like with already high system RAM usage, or outdated SSDs. 3) The use only physical CPU cores setting is largely unimportant. Windows usually does its job well and runs games on physical cores anyways. It's kind of a compatibility setting for when this doesn't work correctly, which can be the case for newly released CPUs. It's worth trying, but I would keep it off if it doesn't improve performance. Even if it does, it's quite possible the advantage will go away as system software is updated over time. 4) Regarding the difference between offline and online raids, the main reason for the FPS difference are the number of AI. If you play offline without AI, on most hardware configurations you'll be GPU limited. If you add AI however, you can become much more CPU limited than online as they keep spawning in, because less AI will be killed. Still, even with a 5800x3D, online you are most often bottlenecked by your CPU (still mainly due to AI), unless you are playing in 4k with 2x supersampling enabled that kills your GPU. 5) Disabling anisotropic filtering may provide a small competitive advantage, because more blurry textures mean less detail for your enemies to be lost in. Still, the difference is minor in this regard, especially because complexity in geometry still provide ample concealment.

Great video Giga! I was always afraid of Mip Streaming until now

I had 16 GB RAM and whenever I loaded into streets I got kicked out of the game. The support gave me a guide on how to use my ssd to get more performance. That and the low prices on DDR4 were the reason I upgraded on 32 GB. Still… it shouldn’t be a necessity to have more than 16 Gb RAM just for being able to play one map.

The Loading map and loading loot is very slow for me any fix you know?

I've tested "only use physical cores" when they said they fixed it. I had been using process lasso. I turned the settings in process lasso off. And turned the setting on in EFT. I referred back to process lasso to see EFT was only using the physical cores, and it was, through multiple raids. At least for me it does work. I still use process lasso anyway tho . It's greats program Lots of other reasons

I have the same hardware as you, but run everything on high, DLSS quality on 1440p ultra wide and get 100fps on most maps and 70+ on streets and light house?

the only thing that allows me to run streets decent is DLSS balanced or quality. Even then inside buildings 60 and below fps. running outside 90-100. I love streets but its so inconsistent. 3080 32g ram. So what lvl MiP streaming do you use? lowest?

Im running 32gb ram and rtx 2070 super, this could help alot, gotta try changing up settings. thx!

Really wish i could take advantage of this mip streaming option on streets but for some reason im able to run all the way up to the object and touch it before it switches to the higher res version, even with lod quality on 3.5,3 or 4

Great vid

meanwhile my 3GB vram 1050 💀💀💀💀💀

Yo gigabro, I have a question. So mip streaming gives me no benefit in fps. I have 5800x3d, 2070 super and 32gig ram. Do you think dlss is enough?

Running a system with 64GB of DDR4 I get about 10-15 less FPS if I turn on the RAM cleaner. So it can have a real negative impact. Also, any reason you skipped Nvidia Reflex Low Latency? I have it 'on + boost' but you have it only set to 'on' and im curious if there is much difference?

on windows 11 if i alt tab out, the game runs the risk of crashing to the point i have to force a restart. never had that problem on windows 10

Finally someone who actually explains this well thank you.

Would you mind sharing your nvidia control panel settings as well?

@gigabeef what about your nvidia control panel settings?

Great video

Ok, i have a Rtx 3060, 12Gb YET on the fps 2/3 i cant recall, it only shows its using 3gb. if this is teh case i would be aswell go back to using my ATI R9 280. (This was posted as soon as beef stated the "VRAM" on the screen, Just had to get it out there). The rest of the pc, was an upgrade from a MSI z87 g45, 4770K, 32gb 2666 & the ATI saphirre R9 280 (this was in xfire as when i got the system i got 2) New spec - MSI B550 A pro, Ryzen 5600x not OC, 32gb corsair 3200, Zotac rtx 3060 12gb.

Absolutely great video. Unfortunately DLSS doesnt do anything for me on Streets, I hover around 40 dps whatever I try. Well, will see what the next patch brings..

i think one or two settings made my Streets worse, but, that was turning on DLSS 2.2 i think. i'll go back to it off. (scope double rendering was slowing it down after turning it on, was weird) thanks, interesting info. will keep messing around with settings on a non-3D Ryzen and Radeon 7900 XT card

Hmmm ... I wonder how much VRAM do you need for 4k High ... I have 3080 (10GB) and I was thinking I needed better CPU and RAM (I have i7 9th gen + 32GB DDR4) .... I guess I need to go streets to test my VRAM Well ... 10/10 GB used .... so yeah ... and my CPU is 100% too :D .... I guess my PC is weak -_- (and its not even true 4k but DLSS quality 4k ..)

Auromatic ram cleaner made my fps drop to 28 constantly from 120 on factory. Never had it before I had it turned off. Had to restart the game to fix it.

Guys, no joke. Bought my 4080, 13900k, 32gb 6400mhz CL36 recently and now have stable FPS 144 on streets! Heavily recommend, easiest FPS boost!

Do you adjust Nvidia control panel settings? Video needed if so please.

Very good Video.

Adjust size and position set your scaling mode to integer scaling and it will replace Image scaling with image sharpening in control panel and I prefer to use that over tarkov's sharpening

I was able to run streets fine last wipe .. started messing with my settings and keep getting booted. Anyone have any tips for AMD / adrenaline?

Nice one bro

Yea I use 370Ti in my rigg which I'm satisfied with. Great vid by the way, alot of good points !

I actually felt educated. 10/10

I'll take the laser tracing with DLSS now that the scopes are fixed. No flickering and noticeably higher frames for 3060ti. Thanks for the vid, didnt think much of VRam being the problem.

couple days ago i was running streets with my friends, i had about 20-30fps consistently. told them that i will never run streets again. then i decided to boot offline mode, with only scav bots. and on the SAME settings i get consistent 70fps...

Instead of ingame postfx I use reshade - with smaa, adaptive sharpen and technicolor 2 enabled and EFT is spectacular.

Also as of now theres a huge memory leak. So if you start up tark and get on streets and its 60 to 70 fps but after a few raids its around 20 to 30 you need to restart the game

Another thing I’ve noticed is that Streets tends to have memory leaks that persist between raids AND maps. Went from running Streets all day to customs, just for it to run at 30 FPS with the occasional 90FPS smoothness

Can you share your nvidia control pannel settings about EFT, of course?

Are this settings up to date? Try them atm anf its not bad There was some bug witch nvidia reflex early wipe or something?

small tip about the automatic RAM cleaner for 16GB ram players like me: Don’t always have the option on, but instead what you do is: after a raid starts, open your settings first and enable the automatic RAM cleaner, you should see your game freeze for a short second, then it means it worked. Disable the option again and you should be good to go. You should see a noticeable decrease in RAM usage in your task manager. I usually do this once per raid on larger maps and for maps like factory and labs I do it once every two raids.

Bravo!

So I can’t run all of your settings due to my gpu but I tried dlss and got a fps boost the only issues I have is ghosting on any sight and only going back to taa and taking the performance loss gets ride of it that and looking into the sunset makes my eyes bleed Any tips

Man. I thought the 12GB on my 3060 was never gonna be used. I noticed a big difference when upgrading RAM. Wonder if 6c12t cpu upgrade to 8c12t would be worth it

Same goes for the lighthouse, it stuttered bad on my 3080 10gb, I had to switch to low textures to get rid of stutters, I mean come on, 3080, lowest textures, seriously?

testing this between the guide on reddit we'll see. I have very similair specs to you except I have a 3070 ti so well see I really appreciate this video :D

I have a 3090, 7950x3d, and 64gb of DDR5 6000 and this map still runs terrible in 1440p. I checked my task manager trying to figure out why, but nothing was near to maxed out. 😞

why are you leaving on reflections if you are lowering textures to low?..

Mil streaming is making my game crash after exfil. Any known workaround? I copied these settings and streets was smooth for me. First time since patch.

I dont know if its just me, but i have an average of 60 70 fps with a 4070 and a ryzen 9 5900x with all in ultra, and i tried yout settings, and i got an average of 35 fps so i dont know what to think.

mate, my pc bluescreens when i startup streets. it bluescreens in the loading screen 😭😭.

I was wondering why my GTX 1060 woke me up today to watch Gigabeef's new video... 😅

my 4090 doesn't want to use more than 8, maybe 9gb of vram in tarkov, I have everything on the highest settings. but a few months ago it used 19gb of vram once, so idk what happened

i have same specs you have fixed my fps ,I Had no clue about textures and vram being a problem , thanks

The glass corridor box fazes out for me, and I can actually shoot through it idk wtf

Also you can see laser beams clearly with dlss and are almost invisible with taa

i have i7 12700kf, 32gb 3600mhz ddr4 ram, and a gtx3080 with 10gb VRAM and only get 40 frames on streets. ive tried everything in your video and others but cannot achieve playable frames on streets

now all we need is them to change the way magnified scopes work since they drop fps immensely

Anyone know why it tells me DLSS is not supported on my system?

How do i know what setting to run with my pc? I always find it hard
