(OLD) Change THESE Settings for More FPS In Patch 0.15! | Escape From Tarkov Best FPS Settings Guide

[@klemintime1452]

NEW 0.16 GUIDE UP NOW! -> > kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXjKgJJ6iMymY7s 🎩 Join The Discord! discord.gg/EYQmYejx7U My longest video yet. Details, corrections, and links to additional guides can be found by expanding this comment: CORRECTIONS: - PostFX simply *being checked* results in 2-3% performance loss when GPU bound. Its still not much, but its notable. Clarity and Adaptive Sharpen have their own separate impacts as I showcased in the video. - High Quality Color seems to have a performance impact I was not able to measure before (when GPU bound). I will look into this further at some point and possibly make a video about it. - Anisotropic Filtering was bugged due to my Nvidia Control Panel settings. I had to use Nvidia Profile Inspector to manually reset that setting in order for the game's setting to take effect (as changing it back in the Nvidia Control Panel did not work). Bottleneck Guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZDamqiZnZxroZI - "GPU-bound / Bottlenecked": Your GPU usage is at or extremely close to 100%. - "CPU Bound / Bottlenecked": Your GPU Usage is below 100% / CPU is maxed out at 100% / CPU is at 100% on one thread. Other links for guides can be found in the description. Check that too, and thank you so much for watching!

This is *THE best* EFT optimization guide on KZbin 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. 👍

[@DraxTheDestroyer]

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)*

[@killerbas40]

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.

[@Freemasons1732]

I saw that exact same post. I have since been trying to keep it enabled lol.

[@ViciousKai]

Just an FYI for anyone that didn't know this LoD Object quality now effects the range at which you see other PMCs.

[@yourfavoritelawnguy2722]

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.

[@ViciousKai]

@@yourfavoritelawnguy2722 No unfortunately it's LoD that effects the player render distance it's not the visibility. It was tested & proven.

[@yourfavoritelawnguy2722]

@@ViciousKai oh so you tested it this wipe? go try it.

[@minke22]

​@@yourfavoritelawnguy2722unless it was changed this wipe, then he's correct. There's multiple videos where it's shown that LOD affects player render distance

[@klemintime1452]

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.

[@mauricehaa6615]

Thank you so much for making this video and breaking down everything. I have been trying a lot of settings people have recommended and this video has made it so much easier. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Will watch more vids in the future and keep it up!

[@Luis-vx6og]

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 🙏

[@DPS101100]

Broske, this is the best guide you could wish for: comparison in ICAT to compare textures and shadows, explanation of the principles of key settings (about physical cores and RAM auto-cleaning), approximate figures of RAM and VRAM usage, how much the option “reduce texture quality on the location Streets of Tarkov” reduces these textures. The only thing I would like to clarify is something about LOD's in the game. I saw a video two years ago, where it was clearly shown that when the parameter is set to 2 can not see the model of players who run further than 200 meters, but if you set the value of at least 2.5, the range of drawing models will increase by about 80 meters. And also works if you set this parameter higher and higher. Actually what I wanted to know: does it work now?

[@MrCaatalyst]

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.

[@Tropoc]

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.

[@El_Satan]

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.

[@Tropoc]

@@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.

[@Handcannon77]

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.

[@Tropoc]

@@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

[@Dante_S550_Turbo]

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.

[@alvaroponce1868]

best video of tarkov performance i've seen in my life

[@SGO0000]

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.

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.

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?
