Best Graphic Settings for FPS Gains in Patch 0.12 - Escape from Tarkov

[@inflamesaws]

A little sidenote for people out there. Go to Documents > EFT folder > Local > Change the Refesh Rate to (144hz in my case) depending on your monitor.

under what file can i change that?

@@jeffp.6349 its called local, its a text file, its your local settings the game uses, you can edit refresh rate inside of that file to match your monitors.

HI, I was looking for a Built for the AK-101 and I falled on your Video : "The AK-101 - Highlights Series EP 1 - Escape from Tarkov". It did rly help me so I subscribed, keep up the good work :D

Hey guys, My current setting for 12.4 are the same however I am running shadows at High and Anisotropic Filtering "On" This is done mostly for video quality when recording but the hit to fps is small.

Amazingly helpful video bro been struggling with dark areas and stuff but these settings are a real help so are your adar builds that 110k build destroys anything so does the vss keep it up man amazing stuff I'm a newbie too tarkov but I'm probs escaping with loot 9out of10 raids due too your guides and builds much appreciated bro

wow, I7 7800, 16gb ram, 1080, and these settings took me from 50-60fps to 100-120fps. Plus it makes the controls feel more responsive. So thank you for the settings! QoL update for sure!

[@diosanadrian6205]

Hi, so I got a bit a of question no one is ever talking about. Could you possibly shed some insight in regards to the sound settings for this game as I find them very confusing and feels like nobody is tackling this aspect ever. Thank you! Love your vids so far! :D

[@ChippaWubba]

Hey mate, Sorry I missed this message until now. Sound settings are all over the place. You need to use stereo sound and not 5.1 \ 7.1 as this will cause a lot of confusion. I highly recommend running high volume if you can so you can hear footsteps etc. I use a software called Peace APO which is an EQ software and increase my sound by +15db's .. this might make your ears bleed or your headset clip (due to being to loud) but might help hear players as well. (be mindful of head gear as well as quite a few reduce your ability to hear.

[@castleo]

Great vídeo. Where is the recommended settings to the Nvidia filters? I can't find this link.

[@ChippaWubba]

Leonardo Oliveira I just added them to the video instead mate.

[@bradelysmith9951]

Hey mate, i watched this and i was pretty close to what you have. Made the changes and will see how it goes. What has my curiosity is when you selected vsync your fps went to 250 or so. When i did the same mine went to 100. So i am not sure what i am missing here. I operate with AMD Ryzen 3600. 16GB ram. RX5700xt. Cheers if you can help out.

[@bradelysmith9951]

Oh and just to clarify this was in the game lobby just like in your video.

[@wtfronsson]

At some point Shadows Medium was said to give more FPS than Shadows Low. Like Low puts it on CPU which is not great. But was that an old patch and no longer true?

[@ChippaWubba]

Dismissive drive-by posting in a sensitive topic. Hey mate, I have been playing around with shadows and I think it comes down to personal preference, you will get a gain on Med/high setting but with a 1080ti I noticed it was either a small gain or same FPS depending on the map.

[@paulreitzin5059]

Do you use Virtual Reality Pre-Rendered Frames set to 1 for all gaems you play @chippawubba setting is very confusing and not alot of documentation on it

[@ChippaWubba]

Hey mate. Virtual Reality Pre-Rendered Frames is for each frame rendered, the CPU has to create a command buffer, which is then fed to the GPU. The Flip Queue is a queue of such command buffers. Which means if set to "1" .. it will send the command faster to the GPU but if it's set to 3.. it's waiting for the CPU to render 3 buffers. Pretty much because Tarkov is more CPU dependent, you want to use this setting on 1 as it will load the CPU and provide a lower latency but if your CPU is quite old say, before 6700k.. you might get more stutters as the CPU might not be able to keep up and load the GPU with the frame. A setting of 3 would be more ideal for older CPU's. Most players seem to have a 7700k or better these days which should be more then enough for EFT on setting "1". I hope this helps. :)

I saw a benefit to turning my shadows on high for my setup. I would recommend anyone watching to play around with shadows since i lose fps on low and it also helps see through shadows better on low visibility areas on High. I get above 60 fps on all maps with AA on TAA and AF on per texture. I have a gtx 1060 6gb.

hey guys I hope someone smart here could help me. Im running a gtx 1660 ti with a ryzen 5 2600 with 8gb of ram. I have been playing tarkov since late 2017 with different rigs, my last one was a gtx 1050 with a ryzen 3 and it ran better then my rig now. Right now tarkov runs at 40-50 fps and stutters worse then any other pc that i have seen. I have checked with msi afterburner and the usage of my cpu and gpu never go above %50. Yes i have tried turning settings all the way up to put stress on them but nothing works. i have also tried overclocking both graphics card and cpu. Please any help would be amazing im just done with dying because of fps and random shit show stutters

hello i'm using g-sync on tarkov and i heard that the v-sync option should be on in nvidia, but disabled in game in order for g-sync to work properly. what do you have to say about this? also is it ok to overclock to 165 hz? or should i keep it 144 hz?

[@ChippaWubba]

Eden Kagan yes that’s correct, you need to have Vsync on via Nvidia control panel and then Vsync off in game, this should give you the default 120fps limit in game. I run my monitor at 165hz no problems with EFT. I know getting 165 FPS constantly is almost impossible atm but I still do it and don’t see any harm in etc.

[@ChippaWubba]

hey mate, hmmm I hate to say it but you have two things which isn't going to help you with EFT. 1. This Xeon CPU is quite dated and wasn't designed for gaming, while back in the day it wasn't bad, it's Turbo clocks on all 4 cores is only 3.5 which is low. EFT loves as much GHZ as you can provide and you really need at least a 7700k or better CPU for most gaming applications. 2. While EFT doesn't use the video card much as other games, your 1050ti will struggle to play EFT with any decent frames as it just doesn't have the grunt. It was always a very budget card. Your 16gig of ram even at 1600mhz will help be enough but the rest of your PC will struggle. Your best bet is to save up and purchase the following setup if possible. This should allow you to run EFT quite well at 1080p (you could change the card to just a plain 2070 to save $$) imgur.com/zvsY9px

[@ChippaWubba]

Peter Wang I thought the same at first but if you crank the sharpness to high it should help. if you still have blurryness, turn the AF on in Nvidia control panel to 16 times and see if that helps? (Might loss some FPS but fix the blurryness).

[@ChippaWubba]

I hate to say it mate and I don't want to beat around the bush with you, but your GPU is quite poor for EFT, it just doesn't have the Vram. The CPU is quite dated and unless overclocked will hurt you as well. the Main issue you will have is 8gb of ram, you need at least 16gb for EFT while ideally 32gig overall for maximum reduced stutters.
