The BEST FPS & Visibility Settings in Escape from Tarkov

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

I don't ever ask for likes, comments or anything but this video took me a ton of time, effort and money to create. If this helped you out please consider sending it to your friends!

[@gdubbb561]

no 😘

[@TheFlan80]

I've watched a few videos about settings, but trying yours (i've always had postfx off and physical cores only on) increased my fps and looked way better. One question, you had your mouse sensitivity at 0.2 and 0.2, wasn't your idea to use the DPI you are comfortable with and setting the sensitivity to 1.0 for both?

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Not exactly I see the confusion but that wouldn't work from game to game as each game has different base sensitivity based on a lot of factors that's why all your sensitivities in other games are radically different numbers and that's why I showed you how to do transfers with aim-sensitivity. What I was refering to is getting a similar desktop dpi so your horizontal movement on the desktop is similar to your in game amount so you develop the muscle memory of various muscles from your shoulder all the way down to your finger tips. Its kind of a odd phenominon I've only seen one person make a video on it but its a well known tactic professional players in various titles use, you can cross reference this by looking at the datasets of professional in various titles and their dpi and sensitivities and you'll see they all favor certain dpis based on the movement in each game.@@TheFlan80

[@budsmkersonly420]

Also, if you bind your emergency reload to a different key besides 'R' it will negate the 'Double click timeout' and you won't have to wait .3 seconds to get a normal reload in. If you do this, your normal reload speed will happen just about as fast as the emergency reload prior to changing the bind. I use 'R' Release for normal reloads and 'LAlt+R' Release for emergencies.

I used to play a lot of MMORPGs, and have stuck with a 12-thumb button mouse from corsair. I have my (1)fire-mode, (2)light/laser, (3)Heavy bleed/medkit(press/release), (4) Weapon-Inspect/Clear Jam(Press/Release), (5) Shoulder transition, (6)Fast reload, all comfortably on my thumb, it's really handy.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

bad for aim

[@TheProBrosGames]

i was in your shoes up until the beginning of last year. Since i started playing wow as a kid, ive ALWAYS had a razer naga. The convenience of having so many options for keybinds that can be pressed with just your thumb was amazing, but i started researching about aiming, and the differences between different mice. I learned that lighter mice are better for consistency, and the lasers refresh rate is better for precision. Ultimately, after picking up a Pro X Superlight, i would agree that while the advantages of 12 side buttons for your thumb are great, MMO mice just simply arent designed to perform in an FPS environment, and puts your aim and a disadvantage from the start.

[@adriane.8654]

"Emergency reload" set in double click and binded with the same key as "Reload" makes your normal reload slower, because the game waits until your "Double click timeout" expires. I prefer to bind the emergency reload to R and something else (R+L.Ctrl) and reload pressing R instead of releasing the key.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Im aware and ive tried swapping the bind and found it uneffective personally

About the audio “click” or “pop”, I never knew that was because of binaural. But this happens when someone says runs into your hearing radius and can be very useful to determine the position of other players before you can fully hear them

[@WooweeYT]

The "Object LOD quality" setting also determines how far PMCs render, not just objects. So if you set it at 2, you might not be able to see PMCs 300m away when not scoped in where a higher setting would render the PMC. This is not usually much of an issue, as there's not a ton of places where you'd need the increased distance. "Object LOD" also prevents distracting object pop-in. Close objects are rendered with a high quality model. As you move further away from the object it will stop rendering a high quality model, and use a low quality one. The transition can be distracting. The higher the setting, the further away you can be before objects change to low-quality and will be less noticeable and distracting. This comes at the cost of CPU performance though which most because are already bottlenecked on in Tarkov. Also, "Adaptive Sharpen" in PostFX, even at "1" will have a pretty big hit on FPS and render time. Turn this off completely and just use the regular "Sharpness" setting.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

This isn't accurate unfortunately.

Pretty useful stuff imo. A lot of the keybinds u have, i also use :D However I'd suggest having Inspect weapon on "Press" "L" And fix malfunctions on "release" "L". It's a bit better imo. I just press and hold the button, and when it finds the malfunction i release it :)

@@TickleMePinkGaming lmao, my dude. That’s not an argument. Poor Visual fidelity of trees, grass is not going to get you killed more than low LOD. Its more about necessity of fps vs visual appearance of the game. Now that snow is gone, theres more justification to not use dlss though.

[@jnh8381]

Good video. Had a couple good ideas that were new to me with the keybinds. I'm just getting back into tarkov after not playing for a year or so. One thing I remember doing was setting inspect weapon to press and then fix malfunction to release of the same key, and that would allow the actions required to fix malfunction to be done in one key press. I'm wondering if that's no longer a thing now since you have it set up with requiring 2 key presses. Guess will have to test out myself. I'm still running a 1070 OC'd a bit, and I still can run the game on pretty high settings and get decent fps. I run High textures, Ultra shadows, LOD 2.5, Distance 1000, TAA High, Anistropic filtering, HBAO max perf, no SSR, and I would get 70-100 fps depending on map (except I haven't really played streets yet, so not there). Just saying that a 1070 can still get decent performance since you said 20 series or lower should have everything set to low. I'm now playing with different settings though, like how shadows affect fps, etc. I always thought low shadows settings would make shadows look like shit, I've just had it at ultra since the first time getting the game in 2019. My CPU is a ryzen 5600x. I tested this morning with physical cores only checked and unchecked, and I got a bit better performance with it checked. Like ~5 frames better. This one is always a mystery to me because so many differing opinions online. Some say to have it checked if AMD CPU. This one I continually test. I always end up with having it checked. Noticed playing today that tarkov isn't using as much memory as it used to. It was **only** using 14GB of mem, when several months ago it would climb up to nearly 20GB (I have 20GB at 3200). Was getting noticeable stuttering this morning, reminded me of tarkov back in 2020/2021, which is frustrating. Also noticed, GPU utilization was only at 70%. Last time I played several months ago, it would be near 90% and greater. Wonder what's up with that.

Honestly an amazing video, I felt like I had pretty good settings already but the Post FX alone made a world of difference. One thing that might be worth mentioning - while I agree that most of the stuff in the Nvidia control panel is fluff and not really relevant anymore, turning up digital vibrance in your color settings can for sure make a huge difference. I have it on 75 from other games and together with the adapted post fx I'm spotting people that I have no business seeing just because the contrast is so crisp and colorful.

10:24, I wanna point out though, those with issues with the stupid head bob, head bob is the least noticeable at 75 so if you start getting headaches when playing just set it to 75, one downside of 75 is that while you do have a larger peripheral view, the FOV does not match what your eyes see and what would be the position irl so it can get a bit disorienting

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Hmmm, im not a doctor but if head bob is giving you headaches that might be a weird early sign of a health issue. Not trying to be a dickhead just concerned.

Hi, thanks a lot for this video! I just want to mention, that we (Overwatch-players) have two different aim sensitivity to have the same feel when aiming with and without scope. So 1cm mouse movement is always the same degree of view - doesn't matter if scope or no scope. Cheers

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

So you're kind of right. Overwatch offers a different sensitivity slider for the few characters with optics however this is built into many games already and even overwatch doesn't give you perfect 1 to 1's using the infamouse 51.47 of w/e for ashe for example.
