How to Fix Stuttering & FPS Drops - Escape from Tarkov | AMD | INTEL | NVIDIA

[@wildgg]

The discord server ( discord.gg/6Utxzsa9wc ) is run by KZbinr Klemintime @klemintime1452 (I highly recommend you check out his channel!), there is a big community active that is always willing to help you out with any pc or performance related issues. Personally I'm very active in this discord so join up if you need any help with Tarkov or other related PC issues.

[@amonfire]

Indeed a complete cleanup with DDU and reinstall of the AMD Drivers fixed it for me

[@x1ks830]

the game has bad optimization. With such a processor and graphics card, deleting programs and messing with them doesn't help. The equipment is top of the line. No settings change the game's optimization. There is no magic bullet for this game. The game's creators themselves admit that the game is still being optimized, but nothing will be done on the streets. So such videos don't make sense, but I was curious to see what the next person would come up with on their channel

[@wildgg]

Yes the game needs optimizations but if you're experiencing major stutters and FPS drops than these type of videos will help a lot of people. I see people having way lower fps or having major stutter issues daily, and because I saw so many people with these type of issues, I made this video. I'm not aiming or claiming here that this video will increase your FPS by 200FPS because it's simply unrealistic. My aim with this video is to have people run their game as best they can, no matter how bad the game is optimized.

I have a 4070TI and a R5 5600X, 32gb of ram that i bought just to run the game better and still struggling with stutters and fps drop. Tarkov is a real mess

[@wildgg]

@@snxs5519 If you bought this CPU recently I would highly recommend returning it(if possible) and get a X3D part instead, ryzen 5000 non 3D are great CPUs but they will fall behind in Tarkov, especially noticeable on maps like Streets and Lighthouse. I've noticed lately AMD CPUs combo'd with NVIDIA GPUs can cause these weird microstutters and the cause of those microstutters seem to be present in some of the recent NVIDIA drivers. If you have tried many things and nothing has worked, looki into NVCleanstall. NVCleanstall let's you customize the driver of your choice by removing components you don't need.

yea, they just need to pull their fingers out and do it. but why would they when they have our money already?

[@bof8471]

Another issue people might have is mouse polling rate. My mouse at 4000hz made the game unplayable, changed to 1000hz and it now works flawlessly.

[@wildgg]

Yes, good point! I've seen this be an issue more and more recently

[@sebastianfuentesorellana]

On the street map, is it recommended to activate the "lower texture resolution for Tarkov streets" option?

[@wildgg]

That would depend on what GPU you have and what Texture quality you currently use. For context: 1. The Lower Streets Texture option lowers your texture quality by one tick, so if your Texture quality is set to high then streets will use medium textures, if texture quality is set to medium then streets will use low textures. 2. The higher the Texture quality is set. the more VRAM (memory on your GPU) the game will allocate and use. If the VRAM usage goes over then what is available, than you're running into the issue I explain @9:05 . Ideally you want to look at the VRAM usage and stay under it's max.

[@jaaoo1379]

what do you recommend me with this config rtx 4060, ryzen 75800x e 16ram

[@Jonathan-Pilkington]

Be careful using DDU. Using it caused severe issues that I can't resolve. My pc completely freezes for 2-3 seconds any time I start an app or game.

[@wildgg]

I highly doubt that was caused by DDU, never heard of freezes related issues caused by DDU.

[@Jonathan-Pilkington]

@@wildgg It happened after I used DDU and restarted my PC.

[@wildgg]

@@Jonathan-Pilkington it's way more likely the new driver you installed that is causing your issues or previous settings you had within the previous driver settings.

[@suvamk]

@@Jonathan-Pilkington I hope you used DDU on safe mode and clicked clean and restart ( highly recommended mode). That is the best way to do it.

[@donny8495]

Hey are you using a custom Windows ISO? if so i was wondering which one are you using?

[@wildgg]

Yes I am, I'm using Windows X-Lite. I just want to be clear here: Use custom ISO's at your own risk. Personally, I only use these customs ISO's on my systems that I only do gaming on and nothing else, no banking or w/e.

[@donny8495]

@@wildgg yea im aware I've used alots of different ISO's, and i make custom isos my self as well and what i main for the most part, i just like to try new ISO's , ive tried xlite before but had some issues im not sure if its better now days

[@themarketgardener]

In my system, i5-13600kf RTX 3060 3600mhz ram, disabling fullscreen optimizations introduce a lot of micro-stutters in Arena in borderless mode.

[@wildgg]

I have not played a lot of Arena or tested settings for it in a long time, it's very odd that it creates micro stutters for you. I will put this on the list for a future video on Arena.

[@themarketgardener]

@@wildgg Love your content man keep it up! What I was trying to say was some tweaks create different effects for some systems, for example some people run great with H.A.G.S while others have stutters and stuff you know. So imo it's best for people to try each setting seperately.

[@wildgg]

@@themarketgardener Thank you, means a lot! 100% agree with you, I tried to keep it as basic as possible for the sake of a shorter video and also most of these things are easily reversible if needed.

[@x1ks830]

remember full screen reduces input lag

[@zoriiginalx7544]

If you play BORDERLESS leave Disable FSO checked off. That feature was specifically intended for that windowing mode

[@CurtisMccausland]

Hey dude, love the content! Wondering if you could help I have a RTX 4070 R7 5700X3D 32 GIGS 3600 speed RAM B450f mobo Playing on 1440p 165 hrz monitor I get mad 1% low fluctuations which causes stutters im down really bad can you help me I also have a ryzen 7 5800x there that i had previous as i recently bought the r7 5700X3D thinking it would be better for tark with the 3d cache is this true?

[@wildgg]

5700x3d will out perform the 5800x easily. patch 0.16 really messed up the performance, I've seen 7800X3D's dip below 60fps at times on customs. I don't think I have the answer for you sadly..

[@sixsonic]

i just sometimes have a stutter which im annoyed about, i think its just the game to be honest, im running a 3080ti with 9800x3d. i did pagefile on m.2 and disable fullscreen optimizations, playing borderless. Any more tips?

[@wildgg]

How often is this stutter? is it random? is it every 1min? etc What is the pagefile setup? Offline and PvE have some stuttering currently but if you're refering to PvP it should be all smooth. For ingame settings: don't use: unheard background, ram cleaner, use physical cores only. High textures can cause weird things to if you play for long periods of time, especially with streets and lighthouse as those use a lot of VRAM.

[@sixsonic]

@@wildgg Thanks for the reply man, i just have big fps drops from 160 to 100 when moving around through map PVP. Pagefile is 16GB. I can try turn off physical cores and ram shizzle.

[@wildgg]

@@sixsonic np! If you have enough drive space I would leave the pagefile on system managed.

[@sixsonic]

@@wildgg it is on system managed, also turned off, physical cores but i still get 50 fps drop sometimes

[@austinperez4028]

idk what im doing wrong or tweaking in nvida control section but im even auto overclocking tarkov and im gettting a max 80fps on 1080p lol

[@wildgg]

I would need a little bit of context because there are so many factors when it comes to FPS numbers in this game like: What mode was that 80fps based on? PvE, PvP, Offline? What settings are being used? what are the PC specs? Also, is this FPS based on the current patch with the event? the current event with all the zombies drops FPS by a lot.

[@austinperez4028]

@@wildgg yes eft current patch online raids Spec - i7 9700f 32gb ram 1920 x 1080p, 75hz 3080ti 12gb

[@wildgg]

@@austinperez4028 Your FPS seems correct for that CPU, you're CPU limited here for sure. 9th gen intel isn't great for tarkov and it doesn't help that you have a F series CPU which has lower clock speeds and way lower cache amount. Since you have a 75hz monitor and can reach 75fps you wouldn't really have a better experience by having more fps. Realistically if you want more FPS you need a better CPU and then ideally a higher Refresh Rate monitor to experience those extra frames.

the most common things found in every optimization video, more copied content

[@wildgg]

the most common comment found in every video's comment section, more copied replies

[@VexxedSR]

Nothing you do will fix bad optimization by the devs, the best way would be to ask them for a refund or go through your bank to get said refund and uninstall the game while purchasing titles that optimize their game well.

[@wildgg]

So if refunding is your best solution, why are you watching tarkov related content? I can't optimize tarkov, that's on BSG. My aim with this video is to have people run their game as best they can, no matter how bad the game is optimized. A lot of people play this game because they enjoy playing it, hopefully this helps them.

[@VexxedSR]

@@wildgg well if BSG won't bother to optimize the game and lots of people using whale rigs complain about the performance then what option is left other than voting with your wallet? I understand people enjoy the game but it's not right that they're charging so much for higher tiers of the game and seemingly doing nothing meaningful with the money. Releasing a game mode that's not even fun to play due to the cheater epidemic and a map that barely runs and breaks every other update is not money well spent in my opinion. Along with the constant server problems causing bad hitreg and desync ever since the game came out being the icing on the cake, makes you really think if they really care or if they're doing the bare minimum to keep the masses from refunding. I was looking at purchasing the game until I did the research and it seems like a waste of money in my opinion. Just was looking if any optimization guides would actually work to slightly skew my interest in the game but it seems like that's not the case sadly.

[@wildgg]

@@VexxedSR I'm not going to argue the current state of the game but from a dev point of view it also doesn't make a lot of sense to start doing a ton on optimizations untill they're out of beta, in their eyes if it can run well enough than that's all they care about. Many people have played this game for years, hell I even got the base version for free and upgraded it later on. There no game out there that feels like tarkov at the moment and that either worth it to you or it doesn't. They definitely made some odd and bad decisions over the years but I don't see why I should not make this video for those who have stutter issues within this game. If you don't want to play this game or have given up on it than that's totally fine, I don't mind helping others out if they encounter major stutter issues because those are fixable even in tarkovs current state. This game is honestly great even with all it's flaws, I would check back every 6 months orso and see where it ends up 👍

[@VexxedSR]

@@wildgg Yea will check it later on and might purchase it but it's just mainly the server issues that have thrown me off. Seems like the only way to solve that would be a complete netcode rehaul or a new engine which are both expensive options to do. I can stand some stutters here and there but in a gunfight I want the game to be as skill based as possible and not random rng chance if your bullets register correctly or not especially with loot and quest items on the line.

Guys, it's all click bait. It's server sided all the Micro stutters. Just load into PVE and you will see nothing is wrong with your pc

[@wildgg]

You must be smoking that good good.

[@Moendos99TTV]

Let me catch you on a live stream and show me your FPS then. All the high end PC's have trouble running this game, all because of server ping and bad coding. All these EFT best settings video's are purely for the clicks and you know it

[@wildgg]

@@Moendos99TTV I feel like this is just some ragebait but I'll entertain your comments. 1. "Guys, it's all click bait.": It's not clickbait as it helped many people and will continue to help people. Why? because not everything is server sided. I've seen almost in all my calls with people where their systems are not setup correctly. 2. "It's server sided all the Micro stutters.": It's simple not all server sided. Is this game perfect? no, no one will ever claim that, I certainly am not. 3. "Just load into PvE and you will see nothing is wrong with your pc": This one is a funny argument coming from you as PvE generally runs worse, especially when you're playing solo and are the host of the server, this + the extra AI makes for a worse experience for most. 4. "Let me catch you on a live stream and show me your FPS then.": I rarely live stream as I'm a casual content creator but feel free to add me on discord: 'wildgg' and I'll live stream for you, I also have unedited game play on the channel so you can go see for yourself. 5. "All the high end PC's have trouble running this game, all because of server ping and bad coding.": I have no trouble running this game and server ping is not relevant. I've played this game since 2019 and sure it has it's server issues but in general with a good connection you're fine. As for the bad coding part, I don't see anyone arguing against this, mood point to bring up. 6. "All these EFT best settings video's are purely for the clicks and you know it": For one this is not a ''EFT best settings'' video. Secondly most of them are as they're lazy content and made just to gain views, hence I'm not doing them, I focus more on getting PC's running the best they can, the game being un-optimized is out of my hands. To add a little bit to point 6. Not every video is made by some lazy asshole, there are very good videos out there that actual help people, so stop putting everyone in one group as if they all have bad intend.
