I don't ever ask for likes, comments or anything but this video took me a ton of time, effort and money to create. If this helped you out please consider sending it to your friends!

oh dear. i played CS for 15 years, and somehow forgot to turn of mouse acceleration after building this PC over a year ago. this reminder alone made the video worthwhile 🤣

This is my first wipe and totally getting into it heavy. Been loving it and this video helped so much with the video settings and some control settings, thank you for all the work you put into it.

bro your editing is goated , insane content here lately . keep it up big dog

Thanks for the video, it was very informative and helped me appreciate the visuals of this game more.

Thank you again Pink!! I don’t know how you keep em coming like you do but please keep it up!!! Appreciate you dude

Fascinating. I'll have to get into this later and and get gud, lol. but for real, great video, great pacing, get editing, I watched the whole thing and I'm not even home to follow along, haha.

This is the video we all needed great vid man

saw another video of yours and saw just how clear everything looked and I just HAD to know your settings. I have a hard time spotting people in my games. I think this will help, thanks!

You have became my favorite tarkov creator, at all, ever, more than pestily, hyper, or trey. I appreciate your honesty and your attitude is enjoyable.

Best one I’ve seen yet! Definitely gunna try it out! You definitely deserve more views on your content.

Great Video as always. Used to watch your vids back when Cycle was still a thing and now months later I'm trying to migrate to Tarkov to help with my extraction shooter addiction and of course the first guides I find are from you. Thanks for making videos like this to help newbies like me. 👍

Happy I found this video. I've been playing around with my settings lately. It's gonna give this a try later

Haven't seen a proper in depth video on Tarkov settings for a while, giving this a crack. Also love how you had your supporting references at the start, defiantly had me trusting what you had to say more than any other settings video I've watched!

Definitely needed this, cheers.

Thanks for the video! I was looking for this. About the master volume, a spectrum analysis disproves that lowering it effects different sounds differently. It lowers all frequencies of sounds equally.

Insanely good vids my dude, just found your channel an hour ago, and im subbed. Keep it up!

I rarely comment on videos, however this is a video that I feel deserves the effort. After trying the methods and programs used there was a significantly noticeable improvement after using these recommendations. I played for a couple of days the gaming is good. I have subbed. Good stuff ticklemepink

Content quality way up from the Cycle days ggs bro keep it up

my man, you got a like and a sub for me from this video this is the best information i've ever seen collectively, have always wanted and needed a video like this thank you!

Thanks for sharing the graphics and control settings. Everything looks clearer. Also appreciate the different key binds, much better for scope mag changes.

Best tarkov videos on youtube. good stuff man!

been struggling to find the perfect settings for the snow and now I gotta redo it for regular weather. will definitely try this

This is so perfectly in-depth, fantastic video, my dude.

Great vid. Thanks! You helped me realize I forgot to turn off mouse acceleration when switching to my latest PC like 6 months ago lol. No wonder I've been whiffing so much.

Gotta appreciate how much you do for your community man. From feeding us with hello fresh to personally offering to help us quest and saving us money with the sensitivity website! You are the goat. 🤝

great video !!! thank you for making this !

Awesome video. Keep them coming

This is a great informative video.

Thank u very much it was very helpful!

Thanks for this usefull guide

Massively helpful!

I'm starting again after a long time due to pc issues, haven't played much before and always a bit lost about the graphics, still a bit lost on the colours xD, ty so much for the valuable info you gave, keep it up

Thanks so much!

Great video!

The LBP sound effects made me sub.

KZfaq fed me your video via algorithm. Only 9 min in, but can tell you put a lot of effort into it. Keep it up

This was great, only 14 hours on Tarkov and some of these changes has made the experience better for me. Also changed some of the controls as your explanation was logical.

Been playing on 60hz 1080p monitor…got my 4k 165hz comin in today…this vid is timed perfectly. Liked subbed and shared thank you for the time you put into this

The keybinds had by far the most impact for me so far^^ + the game looks a little nicer now. Thanks alot for the guide :)

I have about 500 hours in tarkov and I've never changed my post-fx minus my first wipe i played. or a few of these other settings. Just assumed good pc, turn everything to ultra and I'm good lmao. These tips were game changing, earned a new sub for sure! :) great help, thanks!

Very good information

Thank you man 🙏

Awesome in depth video. 1 question about audio if I may. Should I be using windows spartial sound or just keep it off

Thanks dude

Thx for the Video :)

I always love your videos

Very nice vid bro! As I would call myself a mighty tryhard too, I gotta add that the binaural clicks are useable as kind of a spidey-sense. I got so many cheap kills like that.

Not me just now learning about needing to clear logs. Had some from 2021 still lmao

"Emergency reload" set in double click and binded with the same key as "Reload" makes your normal reload slower, because the game waits until your "Double click timeout" expires. I prefer to bind the emergency reload to R and something else (R+L.Ctrl) and reload pressing R instead of releasing the key.

Also, if you bind your emergency reload to a different key besides 'R' it will negate the 'Double click timeout' and you won't have to wait .3 seconds to get a normal reload in. If you do this, your normal reload speed will happen just about as fast as the emergency reload prior to changing the bind. I use 'R' Release for normal reloads and 'LAlt+R' Release for emergencies.

You are probably the best tarkov content creator thanks for the vid man❤

I used to play a lot of MMORPGs, and have stuck with a 12-thumb button mouse from corsair. I have my (1)fire-mode, (2)light/laser, (3)Heavy bleed/medkit(press/release), (4) Weapon-Inspect/Clear Jam(Press/Release), (5) Shoulder transition, (6)Fast reload, all comfortably on my thumb, it's really handy.

Ive never thought about key bindings so i straight up copied your settings to test it lol. I might lose my entire stash but i will have fun building it up again.

Thanks 💙

Good video. Had a couple good ideas that were new to me with the keybinds. I'm just getting back into tarkov after not playing for a year or so. One thing I remember doing was setting inspect weapon to press and then fix malfunction to release of the same key, and that would allow the actions required to fix malfunction to be done in one key press. I'm wondering if that's no longer a thing now since you have it set up with requiring 2 key presses. Guess will have to test out myself. I'm still running a 1070 OC'd a bit, and I still can run the game on pretty high settings and get decent fps. I run High textures, Ultra shadows, LOD 2.5, Distance 1000, TAA High, Anistropic filtering, HBAO max perf, no SSR, and I would get 70-100 fps depending on map (except I haven't really played streets yet, so not there). Just saying that a 1070 can still get decent performance since you said 20 series or lower should have everything set to low. I'm now playing with different settings though, like how shadows affect fps, etc. I always thought low shadows settings would make shadows look like shit, I've just had it at ultra since the first time getting the game in 2019. My CPU is a ryzen 5600x. I tested this morning with physical cores only checked and unchecked, and I got a bit better performance with it checked. Like ~5 frames better. This one is always a mystery to me because so many differing opinions online. Some say to have it checked if AMD CPU. This one I continually test. I always end up with having it checked. Noticed playing today that tarkov isn't using as much memory as it used to. It was **only** using 14GB of mem, when several months ago it would climb up to nearly 20GB (I have 20GB at 3200). Was getting noticeable stuttering this morning, reminded me of tarkov back in 2020/2021, which is frustrating. Also noticed, GPU utilization was only at 70%. Last time I played several months ago, it would be near 90% and greater. Wonder what's up with that.

The "Object LOD quality" setting also determines how far PMCs render, not just objects. So if you set it at 2, you might not be able to see PMCs 300m away when not scoped in where a higher setting would render the PMC. This is not usually much of an issue, as there's not a ton of places where you'd need the increased distance. "Object LOD" also prevents distracting object pop-in. Close objects are rendered with a high quality model. As you move further away from the object it will stop rendering a high quality model, and use a low quality one. The transition can be distracting. The higher the setting, the further away you can be before objects change to low-quality and will be less noticeable and distracting. This comes at the cost of CPU performance though which most because are already bottlenecked on in Tarkov. Also, "Adaptive Sharpen" in PostFX, even at "1" will have a pretty big hit on FPS and render time. Turn this off completely and just use the regular "Sharpness" setting.

ty for the info m8

I just turned off mouse precision after ALL THIS TIME... OMG aim improved Instantly! Thank you, brother!

High tier editing. Also wanna know how you make your thumbnails colors like that 😅asking for a friend

About the audio “click” or “pop”, I never knew that was because of binaural. But this happens when someone says runs into your hearing radius and can be very useful to determine the position of other players before you can fully hear them

Thank you very much ,you helped me a lot, i finally have a good setting because of you so thanks :D +1 subs :D

Great Video

Appreciate you doing this man was funny seeing myself pop up on KZfaq haha

Finally found the perfect post fx settings. Thank you brother

Thank you you are my man

Watched this video twice, because pink is a W and because I for some reason watched this while in a WoW raid

Wow ! Thanks boss !

You'll probably never see this as it'll be buried under all the other comments but thank you this was very useful and informative. Appreciated.

Dude the sound pop bug actually helps me more than anything lmao, if I'm not mistaken it happens when someone enters the sound range, since I've had killed a lot of people because of this, it essentially is like a sound alarm that someone is close and if they don't get this pop in from me then I can just crouch and wait for them.

Honestly an amazing video, I felt like I had pretty good settings already but the Post FX alone made a world of difference. One thing that might be worth mentioning - while I agree that most of the stuff in the Nvidia control panel is fluff and not really relevant anymore, turning up digital vibrance in your color settings can for sure make a huge difference. I have it on 75 from other games and together with the adapted post fx I'm spotting people that I have no business seeing just because the contrast is so crisp and colorful.

Great video

something i learned last night after having my pc for 3+ years and 2000 hrs of tarkov. TUNR OFF MONO AUDIO IN WINDOWS SOUND SETTINGS!!! turned it off and realized that i’m not deaf and can actually hear directional audio clearly now. for me it was on by default

mate this whole time.. had my monitor capped at 60 htz. good looks and great video

Best settings video yet!

A small thing : the main menu background : the best are factory or woods, apparently the labs one (with the camera) has higher load times. That was true last wipe, so to double check. Very good video : )

This is the most anticipated video of all time

Hey man I play with a 0.2 sens and a ads sens of 0.1 with a dpi of 800 , if I put my ads sens to 0.2 I can’t aim that well . Do you think I have to change it or keep playing how I’m more comfortable , love the vids ❤️

thank you

You get player pops when u have binaural audio its like this semi loud noise pop that happens when u enter a players hearing radius id recommend keeping binaural on until they fix that

7:59 that labs main meme fucking sent me 🤣🤣

Great Video! Thanks for the key binds. Only question i have is, normally shift+ LMB is used to quickly transfer items to sorting table. Now its asking to delete,l and i cant find the option to do that now. What do you suggest?

Would you still recommend 59 for field of view with an ultrawide monitor?

these settings are amazing

I think setting crouch to release on C works a bit better so you can adjust your crouch height while holding C rather than standing/crouching all the way up/down before adjusting

Deleting logs going back to 2021 felt insane lol. I think it definitely made a difference in my load times.

Hi, do you use project lasso urself? and would you mind sharing? I'm using the same x3d processor :D

I use the 5800x3d n have used process lasso for the longest time and just for shits n gigs I removed the restriction to physical cores and found I actually got better frames across all maps especially streets.

Pretty useful stuff imo. A lot of the keybinds u have, i also use :D However I'd suggest having Inspect weapon on "Press" "L" And fix malfunctions on "release" "L". It's a bit better imo. I just press and hold the button, and when it finds the malfunction i release it :)

great vid

Tickle, I'm Salty Sicilian, relatively new content creator but veteran 2017 eft player. I remember you from the early days. I had always loved you intro song. The one Called "Miss You?" Reminds me of your videos. Anyway, wanted to say that I enjoy this version of you, you sound good. Would love to run some games with ya one day.

Banger video

@TickleMePinkGaming Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. I play a fair bit of arena - are there any settings aside from FOV, that you'd suggest changing from what you've recommended just for Arena? Would the bit about sound still apply for Arena?

This video convinced me to finally upgrade my monitor. Going from 30hz to 144, the difference is insane. Definitely worth it!

I see you have aim keybind on continues. As someone who as been playing with press option(which is default I think), do you suggest switching to continues? Have 1.5k hours as the ladder.

Best tarkov settings video ever made hands down

Sorry had a question, what did you mean by having it full screen in window 10 then to window 11 borderless. Is there a difference? 11:58

helpful video

great video as always. I wish you would have shown how to unbind controls, it seems like what you have to do is set it to something and then set that something to something else to unbind what you're trying to unbind.

I try reflex on plus boost which uncaps my frames but it bugs my free look for some reason. Ive tried setting low latency to off/on/ultra and v-sync off on nvdia control panel but doesnt help. Anyone know why?
