A Solo's Journey To LexOs...

A Tarkov Mini Movie of my journey through Streets of Tarkov from beginning to end. An easy task to take on right? maybe. I set myself a goal to get rich in roubles and survive a raid taking on Lexos, the map's most hectic and PVP-rich area.
If You Enjoyed The Video, A Like and Sub would be very much appreciated.

Escape from Tarkov is a realistic shooter game where you go in with loot from your storage (also known as your stash) into a variety of maps such as Interchange, Customs, Reserve, Shoreline, Streets of Tarkov, Labs, Lighthouse, and Woods to loot items, fight other players and Fight Scavs. If you die, you lose all of the loot you had on you but if you manage to extract, you keep everything you got from that raid.

[@turquoiserabbit8008]

As far as making money sacaving in reserve is my go to. I average around 1.2mil in a 10-15min scav run. I think it's because there are less hackers and they all flock to Lighthouse and streets. Honestly it's been more now that I hit level 6 scav rep and have been getting bigger rigs and backpacks. My last few were around 1.6mil. But yea, just hit up all the jackets, duffle bags, and filing cabinets. Sometimes there's some good weapon attachments that sell for a 100k or so. But I don't go out of my way to check weapon crates and attachments. Get lots of nuts and bolts and other high traffic items that I can sell for 30-40k. Tons of streamer and valuables that I can give to therapist and peacekeepers. Lots of reserve keys probably at least 2 a raid, usually 3 that go for 50k+ to therapist more on the flea. I do hit the grenade crates cause those spawn various vogs that go for like 40-60k each. I don't bother with any of the loose loot tech spawns. But yea I'd recommend that. I'm usually so full that I don't even go down underneath to hit up all those filing cabinets. And soooo many extracts as a scav, small map, loads of ai scavs to protect you. Easily best map for scaving on.

I think a huge part of the problem is you can have a difference of around 40-50 FPS between people on the same server and same map just because they have a $2000 PC instead of a $3000 PC. If it ran similarly for everyone it wouldn't be as much of an issue.

[@texmexlatexi]

60-80fps i5-12400f rtx 4060ti

[@CoolestJonas]

interesting i thought it would be higher than that

[@Dizzeke]

I had to change my settings just to play this map at all without the game looking like trash and having to change settings every raid. sorry if i ramble but maybe these can help anyone. I get 70-90 fps in streets with 2080 super and R9 5950x, usually get between 100-120 (130+ in certain places) on other maps. use physical cores and ram cleaner both off (try using process lasso program to manually assign physical cores to the game, or disable multithreading in bios. The game runs better (for ryzen at least, i have 5950x) on physical cores but the in-game settings doesn't work properly. Hardware accelerated gpu scheduling in windows should be ON for this game. set game mode in windows to ON. Vsync Off (can uncap fps by enabling vsync in-game and disabling in nvidia control panel, but lets be real, who is getting more than 144 fps? only do this if you can't stand 60fps mouse feel at the cost of performance.) Borderless fullscreen (this runs the best of all the options by far) Medium texture quality (I have only 8gb of vram and streets redlines it on high at 1440p, try high with 10gb+ vram gpu 1440p or 8gb 1080p, otherwise use medium) low shadow (higher settings are indiscernible from low and impact fps, not worth increasing) 3 object lod (preference, impacts fps slightly. Set to minimum if you don't mind trees etc looking janky as hell nearer to you) 1500 visibility (preference, impacts fps slightly, set to 1000 or lower if you don't mind shooting walls you cant see that's giving the scav cover) TAA is fine, high increases cpu load and makes the antialiasing look more flickery than anything. Set to TAA or, like me, you might turn on DLSS quality for decent anti aliasing with minor tradeoffs like blurry laser etc) hbao off (big fps impact not worth the nice look) ssr medium (preference, try off if fps still not comfortable but this is a must have for me personally. really makes the game look good.) anisotropic filtering on (preference, try off if fps not comfortable/don't care about making the road stop looking blurry 12 feet in front of you) nvidia reflex low latency OFF and also off in control panel (game is CPU bound, low latency mode increases load on cpu by decreasing the amount of frames it can queue, so set this to off and also off in nvidia control panel. If you use GSYNC, set to on with nvcp vsync on and cap fps in nvcp to your average FPS.) I do not recommend GSYNC for this game, game feels better without and doesn't tear as bad as you'd expect post fx (minor impact) only brightness and luma sharpen (preference but clarity and adaptive sharpen impact fps the most so leave those to default, or dont use post fx) Sharpness 0-5 (luma sharpen and monitor sharpness makes the image more than sharp enough for me, so I use 0. I uncheck all of the boxes below but mip streaming is worth a try at high textures. I do not recommend streets lower texture mode because this makes the cpu-bound game even more cpu bound by not giving the gpu enough work to do. The only way to get playable and stable fps is to be careful to keep gpu load between 80-95% as much as possible (NOT 100%! if your gpu is constantly maxed your fps and latency will suffer greatly. that's why this is all such a pain in the ass to optimize our settings.)
