Can't see anything in Tarkov? watch this..

UPDATED 2024 VERSION: • High FPS & Visibility:...
In this video I'm gonna show you some important settings that'll give you a competitive edge in Tarkov. The top players are already making use of these settings, so I'm here to show you what to play around with and why. This video is aimed towards the newer players who haven't experimented with settings this wipe, but will still be relevant for experienced players alike. These settings will work on all maps, all weather conditions, day or night. no messing around with postfx settings every raid to try make things more visible. I'm gonna show you a technique that'll allow you to tune your settings for day or night, and even see in the darkest places in Tarkov like interchange or resort.
This is not a guide specifically to increase your FPS, though most of the settings I'll be adjusting will increase your performance... the main goal here is to improve visibility and provide a tactical advantage. For all you geezas that love playing on max settings because it looks pretty, this might not be the video for you. But it should be noted, more FPS in tarkov means faster and more consistent response times, that means less stutters and a smoother experience... which I consider a tactical advantage.

[@weakmindedidiot]

I'm done with the wipe so I'll tell your followers how to see at night. I turn PostFX Off. Contrast to 70, Gamma UP to match darkness(2+), and Digital Vibrancy to 10-20. With those simple Nvidia desktop color settings you can see pretty clearly even in really dark night. Night time Factory lacks ambient light so it doesn't work great in there, but the darkest parts are fine with just a flashlight. Digital Vibrance fixes the over saturation of the colors with that much added contrast and gamma. Now I can run night raids without NVGs and see fine. Or just stash run in peace.

[@Maintenance_Mark]

Overall Visibility at ZERO??? LOL my man is out here tryin to kill all you boys cuz u cant see him with that turned down!!! not gonna lie after you said that I got the feeling that nothing else you said in the video could be trusted...

when it comes to recoil and FOV, I would like to add that high FOV only lowers recoil for red dot and holographic sights. for any scopes the opposite is true. 50 FOV will have better recoil and less eye relief when full auto spraying through a scoped optic compared to 75 FOV.

[@skiffi7488]

you dont have less recoil, it just looks like you do because you have a larger view so it looks like its way smaller, its the same if you look at a mountain miles away when driving, its just because you just have a larger view of what youre looking at. Also this makes people smaller so it doesnt really matter about recoil "control"

@@skiffi7488 the spray pattern is the same but the recoil is perceived as way more due to the zoomed in fov. I'm not gonna argue about this because the answer is simple. Test it out in the hideout, the difference in recoil is insanely obvious, so it's not worth argueing about.

There is multiple things that make up recoil in tarkov , like the initial kick, then how fast your PMC pulls your gun back to center, and then there is the shaking of your entire camera/view as you shoot. That last part of recoil is different depending on fov. If you have low fov the camera shake is gonna be worse compared to high fov. So there is actually a difference in recoil.

Why don t you want to use reflex without vsync ?

[@wiffmastermase]

@@Antoine_chedid It bypasses render queues to ensure frames arent skipped. Since you're already pushing as many frames as possible on the lowest latency the GPU can already deliver, it will cause quite the variety of artifacts depending on your system, system integrity, hardware, and even the capabilities of your monitor and how well you have tuned everything overall. It's similar to a GPU miner sending a share after the blockchain has moved onto the next block. It did the work, but you ain't getting paid for it.

An issue I've picked up on is that high control panel contrast results in concussive effects overwhelming your screen more. It becomes surprisingly difficult to see in situations where you're under fire, which you wouldn't realize fiddling with your settings in an offline raid. Darkening effects on your screen too, like bloodshot from low head health or fatigue, render more than half your screen opaque from the overlay

you don't need to see around you. that's what your ears are for. lower fov means your targets are bigger. (it's basicly zooming in a bit)

[@LautaroQ2812]

Vsync tip here: If you can use FreeSync or GSync, go for it. There's no real reason to not use it (unless you want 150 fps if you can get them, over smoothness and no tear). But if you're like me, mid-range to low tier PC from some years ago, and you don't want to Vsync it. Enhanced sync has been doing the trick for me. I have a 768p 60hz monitor. Enhanced Sync used to work well for me a couple of years ago, but since then I've been noticing some "roughness". It's not entirely smooth as it should be anymore. So I stopped using it. But I thought I give it a try and for Tarkov specifically, I have no tear, no noticeable input lag other than the one from low fps, and looks smooth.

[@Yes-sw8gh]

A tip from me, if you use RTSS and cap your framerate one frame under your monitor's refresh rate you eliminate most imput lag with Vsync on, so nvidia reflex isnt needed and putting your vsync latency mode on ultra with regular vsync on is actually smoother and faster.

[@dini1046]

Turning off PostFX and doing some adjustments in Nvidia was the best change I made. PostFX costs around 10fps also

[@DunkSkunk]

Nvidia tells me use a game where the Nvidia graphics are supported, or some shit. *shrug*

[@thatbluefa5913]

@@DunkSkunk thats under the filters right? Yeah, it doesn't work. Have to use nvidia control panel.

@@thatbluefa5913 yea. Are you talking about the brightness hue and gamma page ?

[@thatbluefa5913]

@@DunkSkunk yes and digital vibrance. I personally turn off post fx in game and put my vibrance to about 75% and my gamma to 1.30-1.60 it depends

[@Blind_Hawk]

I am hesitant using these because I'd like a constant setting for my monitor when not playing the game. Is there a way to create a proflle only for EFT?

[@agift4u240]

You can check ignore options boxs when you are not in EFT

[@benjaminrugg4189]

I'm from an era where external graphic changes , i.e. NVIDIA control panel, is considered cheating. Especially gamma changes. I guess if you're just adjusting to see better inside during day raids, then its not bad. But people abuse these for night raids.

[@RecKzXP]

Recently the game Rust actually blocked Nvidia color filters because you could change it to see clear at night. It took them years to actually do something about it but games are starting to block these third parts applications from being used in games. Valorant also disable Logitech game hub mouse applications to keep people from using scripts. Tarkov will probably do the same in the future

[@jesseroberts1041]

@@RecKzXP Already has. The postfx ingame were already a response to nvidia’s panel.

[@pdub420]

The fact that most of us have to do this is reason for the developers to redesign their lighting and shading.

[@2Lew]

I dont think they need to do that - the game provides a great immersive experience, but many people chose to play this game competitively and will use display settings to their advantage. If you want to level out the playing field, the option is there for you to do so :)

[@philliptemple4534]

@@2Lew I am keeping mine as default to keep it as "realistic" as possible, as the developers intended it. I keep PostFX off. Great video though, a few hints to boost my video frame rate to avoid stutter. The best one is simply more RAM. Phillip.

I was watching the stream tonight and I thought of a question... Might not be the kind of topic easily covered during a stream, but I was curious. How are you recording the video from the stream without having your webcam overlay in the capture? Not really necessary for you to answer, I was just thinking out loud as a comment. Your video capture and editing are really cool! Just wanted you to know that your work is appreciated. I would love to be able to make such quality

[@2Lew]

I use two instances of obs :D

[@mgproryh]

works a treat, used to use the same sortve settings for CS back in the day with the Nvidia control but never made too much of a difference, makes a huge difference in tarkov though, to anyoone who may stumble across this, 100% worthit with tarkov even though it can be a huge waste of time on other games, also no fret, its super easy to return just the colour changes to default it appears in the top right once change "reset to default"

[@adequatememe438]

I disagree with low shadow quality, the shadows on most maps have been optimized enough to have good performance and much better visibility for me at least

[@danq2511]

Same plus it looks garbage when you run and the shadow renders few steps in front of you

[@vis7NDe]

Thanks for the help this Video boosted my FPS from 60 up to around 100 and the game even looks better.

[@2Lew]

nice mate! :)

[@Aydamnify]

Because why? What were your settings before that it changed THAT drastically?

[@YourFajah]

Thank you so much for this advice. I am considering purchasing this game and that would really help if I did. I am 70 years old and love to game but my vision is not what it once was. No I just need to decide which option to by. Any suggestions?😊

[@vladdracul2379]

The most expensive option will give you a vital increase: storage space outside of raids. You will still be able to get to that storage space through in-game means, but it'll be a chore like no other.

How do you get to see the change on OBS? Cus when I start my stream the brightness is not effected to my viewers, only to myself :D And its quite dark for them. Any way to be able to stream the brightned image like you in ur video?

[@2Lew]

It's because I was recording with a capture card. If you're using a single PC setup OBS software capture won't be effected by Nvidia control panel brightness etc. The best way for you to adjust brightness for your stream is to add a colour correction/grading filter to your source and turn the gamma up

If you have an HDR monitor, you may have already changed the Nvidia color settings. That's where the HD Color checkbox comes into play. On my display I can see just fine at night.

Tried the settings out and they look fantastic, is there a way to do the monitor color adjustment for just the game or will I have to change it manually each time. Id like to keep my monitor from looking as bright and washed for non-game content.

[@darkracer1252]

just skip that part all together. you don't need it and it makes the game look ugly

Ok it’s not just me. I upped my gamma and brightness a tad and outdoors looks great. However in this video you’re showing me what I’m experiencing. Although I can see better in the darker areas, I can’t stand the ugly purple hue on everything in those dark areas.
