this is the best perfomance video ever, I gained like 20fps thanks to your information and by using afterburner and doing some settings testing myself. Much appreciated thank you so much
That is Visibility. LOD is what makes objects stop rending and letting you see players in the distance you shouldn't be able to, like tarps, walls etc. Set visibility to 2k and you will always see anyone in range.
@@yourfavoritelawnguy2722unless it was changed this wipe, then he's correct. There's multiple videos where it's shown that LOD affects player render distance
Just as a clarification, I made a video on this ~1 year ago. Its been a thing in Tarkov for a while now, but it only really comes into play beyond the 250 meter mark. Its related to FOV as well (as explained in that video). Have not tested if anything has changed with this wipe, but maybe I will revisit.
This is *THE best* EFT optimization guide on CZcams for version 0.15! I am coming back to Tarkov after skipping a wipe or two and this was the fastest and clearest video to re-understand which setting does what. They should link this video in the in-game settings tbh. 👍
Btw even though SSR Low actually clears up shadows compared to SSR Off, it eats 9-13 FPS depending on the map! On the exact same spot in Factory I also tested and it ate 13 fps, on Customs looking at Crackhouse from outside it ate 9~ FPS. *(I'm GPU bottle-necked)*
Thanks for taking the time to create this. As others have mentioned, the tutorial is well explained and you’ve proved what you’re saying works unlike so many other videos out there. Props for mobile user consideration too.
Quiet a few other content creators have done this in the past don't knock them by saying something like this. This is insulting & completely disrespectful to other creators in the community that have put in time & effort as well and some of them have been even more in depth than this. Out of sheer respect for this content creator & the time he put into this video I will not name the other creators since it is not my objective to advertise for them.
Broooo Amazinggg video fr, I reset my PC like a month ago, and your videos help me a lot to improve my performance and now I'm going to try to improve cpu bottleneck, thank you soo much 🙏
Great video ! One important point about LOD : it also determines the distance at which you can see players. Players that are far away will simply not render (rather a singular black pixel will render in their place) if your LOD setting is too low. That being said, unless you're sniping all the time, 2.5 is usually enough.
4:3 stretched master race. Was playing on 1920x1440p stretched for a while but Ive decided to be a complete psychopath and im now running...1920x1200 stretched when playing PvE(still playing 1920x1440p for pvp) just because it gives a bit more performance given the performance drop of having to run the game locally in PvE.
Nice vid, appreciate all the comparisons. Would have liked to see some more in-depth comparisons between TAA and TAA High though, since those are the only real options it seems if you want good AA.
About ssr: about 10 months ago there was someone showcasing how on customs with ssr on high you could "easily" see between bushes from afar, while when putting it off created dark spaces inbetween trees and bushes. From what i remember the effects were night and day With recent updates that effect might be diminished, and it is possibly reliant on the weather conditions.
The anisotropic bug is related to nvidia control panel. Since you enabled x16 in the past and then switched to controlled by app, it is actually turned off. You need to use nvidia profile inspector, select the tarkov profile, and search for anisotropic there, its going to be turned off (you control panel its going to show you "controlled by app"). Just restart the entire profile in profile inspector and there you go, tarkov anisotropic filtering its going to work again.
Appreciate this! Your guide help me boost my fps on most of my maps - however, I am still struggling with shit FPS on interchange. I'm getting like 50fps on average on PvE.
and again, i would like to thank you Klemintime1452. i would like to thank you for improve my tarkovexperience. so much more fun to play, spot enemys, and much more fun to watch to this game.
Hey, I really enjoy your videos. I am just after upgrading my monitor to 240hrz 1440p. Would you recommend turning G-sync on or leaving it off in nvidia control panel?
My issue is hideout lags like a mofo and loading out of raids. Takes forever... Some times almost 2 mins. It's like that for the other 3 people we play with too
My only thoughts would be: Maybe Low VS Med / High VS Ultra with shadows might be how shadows move? Static shadows look the same, but maybe dynamic shadows appear different at the different levels?
Great video, its nice that you go through the settings and tell the viewer what they actually do instead of just giving up your values and get on with the next one. Im running a 7800x3d and a 6800xt on 1440p with high textures and for those who has hardware related questions all i can say is that memory either if its cache, vram or ram has huge effect on your fps. I just upgraded from a 7700x to 7800x3d and on the same settings my fps on Streets went from 80-90 to 120-135, it seems like the x3d processors where made for Tarkov and poorly optimized games. Also VRam is insanely important by the looks of it, with 16gb of Vram on the 6800xt i average around 20fps more than a friend of mines setup (7800x3d and 4070 super(12gb of Vram)) and we are using the same ingame settings.
Quite interesting what you say about graphic cards because in most tests which I saw on youtube 4070 Super has got around 20-40 fps more than 6800xt in Tarkov.
@@El_Satan for pure rasterized performance thats not true. Our comparisons are done with same settings and no DLSS or FSR enabled on 1440p. All testing done on streets, live on pvp servers this wipe. We have the same motherboard, processor and memory only difference is gpu. I’ve seen testing done with 4070’s where they are using AI upscaling (dlss) where they basically are playing the game on 720p with upscaling so it looks kind of like 1440p ish. They get great frames but they run the game on a lower resolution as a result.
I think it would have be useful to test the difference on other maps tbh. The reason I say that is the difference is probably most noticeable on streets(and likely LH to a lesser extent) due to the performance cost of running streets w/ high settings, but on other maps the extra vram is likely less of a difference maker and Id imagine that the performance is likely fairly similar(perhaps even slightly better/more stable for the 4070 super) on some maps. But yes to get the best performance on memory hog maps like Streets/LH, you basically NEED a 7800x3d, and a gpu with a ton of VRAM.
@@Handcannon77 I hear you, but it’s meaningless to test hardware on a map where you’re neither cpu or gpu bound. Streets is the toughest map to run, other maps we are both at max fps but we haven’t tested LH yet
Ram also plays a huge role in poorly optimized games like tarkov. Back when Tarkov was still new. I had an 8700k with a 980ti. Friend had an 8700k with a 2080ti. I had 3600mhz ddr4 ram o.c.ed to 4000mhz and tight timings. He had 3200mhz budget ram loose timings. We got damn near the same fps. when in reality his build should be about 20%+ more fps than me.
Make sure to check your nVidia CP settings. You may have Anisotropic filtering forced on there. Also I think high quality color has to do with color banding, so it might be useful to notice in the garage of Interchange, but im not sure.
This is an amazing guide, thanks bud. I have a 4090 and am not gpu or cpu bound yet i still have to battle with settings to make it run smooth on my ultra wide monitor.
Running i9000k, 32GB memory and 4070 OC. Even with all settings maxed out except LOD 3, view distance 1.5k and SSR off my GPU utilisation never goes above 80%, Vram 11GB (out of 12GB) and CPU usage is at 44%. The game runs well at 2k at 80-90 FPS but wish it would go higher and it still gets the occasional stutter. I've tried DLSS with DSR factor upscaling too. I tend to lean towards this option because I notice less flickering or shimmering on distance objectives but it does look a little bit blurrier than TAA high. It's a tricky one and just feels like the game isn't really taking advantage of resources to the best of its ability while simultaneously having a really bad in game AA. I hope they improve this over time.
Ssr is one of the strange settings it can make the game look nice but messes up water really badly and sometimes the reflection on weapons can be really strange looking.
Regarding SSR, I think that’s how the lake is supposed to look. It looks like the waves are causing that effect where the reflection looks messy, idk though
I feel like we should look at resampling more as a setting, I've been using it since the start of last wipe and I dont notice a difference in performance, but the clarity and sharpness/quality of my gun is super clean, it just feels like a little boost. I have a 5800x and a 3070
I have a 4060ti and a i5 13400f 32gb of ram but I can barely get 50 fps in a offline raid with no scavs even with all these setting changes nothing actually changed. I also have some severe flickering similiar to what you showed in the video but on pretty much everything further then 50m. GPU and CPU usage is rarely goes higher then 50% on either. I tried 2x Supersampling and the flickering went down without any FPS hit. Any ideas?
Disappointed that this doesn't mention that FSR adds input lag, and that resampling is very useful on low end cards because it lowers your render resolution while maintaining the same window resolution. I play on 1440p with 0.5 or 0.75 scaling to get high fps.
Hey Klem, thank you for the vid! About the shadows, I think the sun shadows on factory work differently compared to other maps. I've been playing on low and medium shadows, and normally there's a noticeable drop in shadow definition some meters away from you, with at least one more drop off point farther in the distance. But in factory my distance didn't affect the shadow quality at all. I haven't done any proper side-by-side testing, but I believe on medium the drop off points are farther away from you compared to low. Not sure if the shadow resolutions are different. I currently like using medium shadows to get a bit more "premium" look at a low cost. Some other things I wanted to say: Last wipe I tested LOD, and it also affected the max distance you can see other characters, at least scavs. Also turning down FOV had the same effect as increasing LOD in terms of view distance. Noise removes (or reduces?) color banding, which can be very noticeable if you've used post fx to help you see better in the dark. I also think noise helps having no anti-aliasing look just slightly less distracting. On my system there's a clear difference between anisotropic filtering off and per texture, so there's something going on with yours.
in factory, i believe the shadows are all baked into the map, while dynamic shadows are from players and player generated lighting. i'm not sure if the rework changed this, however.
I made a video about that player loading in thing but forgot to mention that issue here. (Have not tested if its still in this wipe though). Shadow distance is something I forgot to test, and I will try to test that as soon as I can. I will post any correction in the pinned comment :)
I have a tip no one ever says. If you have a large 1440p monitor...you can switch to 1080p WITHOUT scaling. Imagine your screen with a thick black box around it kinda like widescreen movies that have the black on top and bottom. This way you don't get that nasty blur when it's stretched. I gain about 30fps playing like this. And it doesn't bother me whatsoever because my monitor is bigger than I like for shooters. and it's as easy as using Nvidia control panel to set it up. I play mmos and arpgs in ultra wide screen with no scaling as well.
@@nestorportela6771 not the original commenter, but still gonna save your ass: with an NVIDIA based gpu: go to Nvidia control panel, select the "Size and position" option on the nvidia control panel, set the resolution to 1920 x 1080 with your current monitor frecuency, select "screen" on the "perform scaling on:" option, and finally, what you wanted, select the "No scaling" option, hope this helps!
@@genkugames9616 hehe thank you. You nailed it. The extremes we go to just to get tarkov to run halfway decent 😅 I do realize this isn't something everyone would want to do. But if you got a large 1440p monitor...it's worth at least trying for a day. You eventually don't even notice it
@@wessredd7237 you could also set it down to 1440p and then downsample tarkov to .75! I used to have a really bad gpu and doing that kind of made it playable, any more than .75 will make it too pixelated to play anything sadly
The settings that affect Tarkov most aren't actually inside the Tarkov game - they are in the NVidia settings. Just try a night mission with +22% Brightness, +10% Contrast, +2.25 Gamma in your NVidia 'Adjust desktop color settings' for instance. There's a bunch other settings there that will affect FPS quite a bit. And Windows settings too - turn off transparency etc. Look forward to your next video where you cover these settings.
Actually you can improve image stability by turning on virtual super resolution and changing your monitor resolution higher - 3200x1800. That way when you turn on FSR 3.0 you would get fantastic image that has base resolution slightly lower than 1440p, more frames than in native 1400p and higher image stability. Also I somehow got like 30-40% FPS boost with this set of settings.
Great Video!, liked & sub'd. Really appreciate how you go extra far into how the different settings effect the range of PCs out there. Would be curious if any nvidia control panel settings are worth tweaking or being mindful of as well. Thanks again :)
MIP streaming is more to allow lower end PC's still play the game. It's meant to take the load of culling that the GPU does and sends it to the HDD or SSD. If you've got a fast drive but shitty graphics card, MIP streaming adds a ton of FPS.
since im the brokest motherfucker on this earth i figured out how to optimize performance even more. I made it possible to run this game relatively smooth on 8 gigs of ram disable full screen optimization for tarkov, start in borderless, close browser because it takes a lot and the hidden secret is end the explorer when tarkov is running. i made a solid jump from 50 fps on completely low to avg 70 fps. Give it a try. great video and what an effort you spend man. well done keep up
He is true tho. Disabling anything maintenance related in windows and not letting windows to suck as much resources as it wants will give Tarkov a big boost. I’m running streets in 50-60 fps on my 1050ti lmao. Any other map is ez 70+, labs 80+ (32 5200 ddr 6 ram tho(running in 4800 cuz fuck the boost))
Thanks as always for the detail of your explanations! I however think I am bottlenecked by my monitor ( Panasonic Viera TV from 2010 ish lol) its FPS is 60 so i guess that is my cap :/

About ssr: about 10 months ago there was someone showcasing how on customs with ssr on high you could "easily" see between bushes from afar, while when putting it off created dark spaces inbetween trees and bushes. From what i remember the effects were night and day
With recent updates that effect might be diminished, and it is possibly reliant on the weather conditions.
I saw that exact same post. I have since been trying to keep it enabled lol.
Man I wish you to cover other games too, at least just multiplayer pvp ones. I can't find anybody doing it clearly enough

What’s ur specs/ what settings r u running rn?
This guy went way above and beyond! Liked and subbed. Great work.
This is just crazy beacuse i was watching the settings guide straight up yesterday and just seeing a new video made me smile
The anisotropic bug is related to nvidia control panel. Since you enabled x16 in the past and then switched to controlled by app, it is actually turned off. You need to use nvidia profile inspector, select the tarkov profile, and search for anisotropic there, its going to be turned off (you control panel its going to show you "controlled by app"). Just restart the entire profile in profile inspector and there you go, tarkov anisotropic filtering its going to work again.
So much effort and time put into this man! Very impressed, also you have an awesome voice but I’m sure people tell you that all the time haha

Medium Shadows helps with the close shadows like your body shadow, compared to low
I play with anti-aliasing off and 4:3 LOL I can see everything bro! It's good I swear! Great frame times too!
what are your specs?
Ssr is one of the strange settings it can make the game look nice but messes up water really badly and sometimes the reflection on weapons can be really strange looking.
I’ve went from last wipe being 180s to this wipe in the 130s. Nothing I notice but can’t imagine on lesser cards
Regarding SSR, I think that’s how the lake is supposed to look. It looks like the waves are causing that effect where the reflection looks messy, idk though
Great vid man
Thanks for doing what you do mate!
Thank you for being here, man! :D
Amazing video bro
I feel like we should look at resampling more as a setting, I've been using it since the start of last wipe and I dont notice a difference in performance, but the clarity and sharpness/quality of my gun is super clean, it just feels like a little boost. I have a 5800x and a 3070

Hey man, amazing in-depth video! Would you happen to have any recommendations for Nvidia control panel settings?
I have a 4060ti and a i5 13400f 32gb of ram but I can barely get 50 fps in a offline raid with no scavs even with all these setting changes nothing actually changed. I also have some severe flickering similiar to what you showed in the video but on pretty much everything further then 50m. GPU and CPU usage is rarely goes higher then 50% on either. I tried 2x Supersampling and the flickering went down without any FPS hit. Any ideas?
29:22 that's big.
haha
Have you looked into dlss tweaks? It essentially changes the resolution DLSS does it’s upscaling from (basically you can force DLAA)
Best video ever for tarkov settings!
I was waiting for you to drop a video.
Thanks! Super super helpful
Thank YOU! Much appreciated :)
Disappointed that this doesn't mention that FSR adds input lag, and that resampling is very useful on low end cards because it lowers your render resolution while maintaining the same window resolution. I play on 1440p with 0.5 or 0.75 scaling to get high fps.
This is great! thank you!!!
Hey Klem, thank you for the vid! About the shadows, I think the sun shadows on factory work differently compared to other maps. I've been playing on low and medium shadows, and normally there's a noticeable drop in shadow definition some meters away from you, with at least one more drop off point farther in the distance. But in factory my distance didn't affect the shadow quality at all. I haven't done any proper side-by-side testing, but I believe on medium the drop off points are farther away from you compared to low. Not sure if the shadow resolutions are different. I currently like using medium shadows to get a bit more "premium" look at a low cost.
Some other things I wanted to say: Last wipe I tested LOD, and it also affected the max distance you can see other characters, at least scavs. Also turning down FOV had the same effect as increasing LOD in terms of view distance. Noise removes (or reduces?) color banding, which can be very noticeable if you've used post fx to help you see better in the dark. I also think noise helps having no anti-aliasing look just slightly less distracting. On my system there's a clear difference between anisotropic filtering off and per texture, so there's something going on with yours.
in factory, i believe the shadows are all baked into the map, while dynamic shadows are from players and player generated lighting. i'm not sure if the rework changed this, however.
Even my own character's shadow doesn't lose quality with distance, so they really work differently compared to other maps.
@@arttuvienamo1181 for sure, maybe labs works a similar way?
@@feneomgamer9138 I actually haven't tried, but it would make sense if it did
I made a video about that player loading in thing but forgot to mention that issue here. (Have not tested if its still in this wipe though).
Shadow distance is something I forgot to test, and I will try to test that as soon as I can. I will post any correction in the pinned comment :)
I have a 1440p, 240 hrz monitor. Would you recommend turning on V and G sync or leaving it off and cap the fps?
I have a tip no one ever says. If you have a large 1440p monitor...you can switch to 1080p WITHOUT scaling. Imagine your screen with a thick black box around it kinda like widescreen movies that have the black on top and bottom. This way you don't get that nasty blur when it's stretched. I gain about 30fps playing like this. And it doesn't bother me whatsoever because my monitor is bigger than I like for shooters. and it's as easy as using Nvidia control panel to set it up. I play mmos and arpgs in ultra wide screen with no scaling as well.
How exactly do you do this if you don’t mind explaining please?
@@nestorportela6771 not the original commenter, but still gonna save your ass: with an NVIDIA based gpu: go to Nvidia control panel, select the "Size and position" option on the nvidia control panel, set the resolution to 1920 x 1080 with your current monitor frecuency, select "screen" on the "perform scaling on:" option, and finally, what you wanted, select the "No scaling" option, hope this helps!
@@genkugames9616 hehe thank you. You nailed it. The extremes we go to just to get tarkov to run halfway decent 😅 I do realize this isn't something everyone would want to do. But if you got a large 1440p monitor...it's worth at least trying for a day. You eventually don't even notice it
@@wessredd7237 you could also set it down to 1440p and then downsample tarkov to .75! I used to have a really bad gpu and doing that kind of made it playable, any more than .75 will make it too pixelated to play anything sadly
@@genkugames9616hmm..Imma give that a try. I just got a better PC but tarkov. Still trying to optimize the crap out of it 😅
You and I are running the same GPU so this helps me a lot
The settings that affect Tarkov most aren't actually inside the Tarkov game - they are in the NVidia settings. Just try a night mission with +22% Brightness, +10% Contrast, +2.25 Gamma in your NVidia 'Adjust desktop color settings' for instance. There's a bunch other settings there that will affect FPS quite a bit. And Windows settings too - turn off transparency etc. Look forward to your next video where you cover these settings.
Actually you can improve image stability by turning on virtual super resolution and changing your monitor resolution higher - 3200x1800. That way when you turn on FSR 3.0 you would get fantastic image that has base resolution slightly lower than 1440p, more frames than in native 1400p and higher image stability. Also I somehow got like 30-40% FPS boost with this set of settings.
Do you have a walk through video on making that exact mis afterburner overlay?
tks for the help!
Great Video!, liked & sub'd. Really appreciate how you go extra far into how the different settings effect the range of PCs out there. Would be curious if any nvidia control panel settings are worth tweaking or being mindful of as well. Thanks again :)
MIP streaming is more to allow lower end PC's still play the game. It's meant to take the load of culling that the GPU does and sends it to the HDD or SSD. If you've got a fast drive but shitty graphics card, MIP streaming adds a ton of FPS.
is it VRAM or just gpu strength in general? I have 4gb VRAM I might need to enable mip streaming
@@LooperEpic VRAM is basically the power of the GPU imo and with 4gb of VRAM if you've got an M.2 drive you should see good performance boost.
from what i heard object LOD quality also affects how far pmcs render in
Big g. Fps went from 80 to 140 real quick
since im the brokest motherfucker on this earth i figured out how to optimize performance even more. I made it possible to run this game relatively smooth on 8 gigs of ram
disable full screen optimization for tarkov, start in borderless, close browser because it takes a lot and the hidden secret is end the explorer when tarkov is running. i made a solid jump from 50 fps on completely low to avg 70 fps. Give it a try. great video and what an effort you spend man. well done keep up
wdym end the explorer when tarkov is running
He is true tho. Disabling anything maintenance related in windows and not letting windows to suck as much resources as it wants will give Tarkov a big boost. I’m running streets in 50-60 fps on my 1050ti lmao.
Any other map is ez 70+, labs 80+
(32 5200 ddr 6 ram tho(running in 4800 cuz fuck the boost))
What do you mean disable full screen optimization? I’m a clown when it comes to PC stuff.
Thanks
Thanks as always for the detail of your explanations! I however think I am bottlenecked by my monitor ( Panasonic Viera TV from 2010 ish lol) its FPS is 60 so i guess that is my cap :/
