CORRECTIONS: I did not mention MIP Streaming in the video! Its been neglected for so long that I honestly forgot to include it when I was recording. It used to be valuable for VRAM issues, but it still malfunctions with loading textures and does not really look like its functioning properly. For now, leave it disabled. Here's the most recent MIP video if you'd like to learn more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6e3lHufqZV1lcU 5:52 For Texture Quality, it can affect both VRAM and RAM usage directly, not just through overflow. Borderless (as of January 2025) is running better than Fullscreen for CPU-bottlenecked individuals. In general, I would run borderless until we figure out what's up with this.

I am hoping this reaches you as you are not currently streaming, I have found that Discord for my 7800x3d will lower my CPU benchmarks for single core performance by 16% just by being open, i have since fixed this by only allowing discord to use the last core on my CPU(2 threads). I don't know how this affects Intel CPUs but it is something I thought you would like to know about.

[@t0ymaker1]

What if they are both not reaching to %100 and still unexpected FPS? Gpu roams around %70 in lighthosue with these settings while Cpu is around %30-50 I have 4080 and 7800 X3D.

[@Jaakk0S]

As a Unity developer a point on LODs. LOD level likely doesn't mean the distance where things "pop" but how many LOD levels Unity will use. The distances are hardwired per object. LODs typically have maybe 2-4 levels, plus the lowest level is usually a "billboard" or an "impostor". Impostor LODs are a collection of images taken from various angles of the same object with a rotating camera around it. Mesh LODs typically use the same textures but just swap the underlying mesh into a simpler one at a distance, thus reducing the amount of vertices for the GPU. Typically these simplified meshes are algorithm-generated so they can be ugly sometimes which introduces the popping effect.

[@thishandleistaken1011]

Insane how bad tarkov runs nowadays. I used to be able to run it on a 3gb 1060 and a ryzen 1600 and I had better performance back then than I do now on my 12gb 6700xt and 5600. I get some maps have been reworked, but the performance has plummeted every patch even when there weren't map reworks. Reserve, for example, hasn't been touched in 4-5 years but runs many times worse than it used to.

[@HalIOfFamer]

Yep. I am surprised how the cope crowd chooses to ignore that. I used to play on a 1050ti 70 fps on all maps except reserve. I understand some stuff can get more demanding but from 70fps to sub 30 is honestly just pure incompetence.

[@ryboodle]

​@@HalIOfFamer I think they have added a lot of mechanics to the game that eat CPU cycles

[@Cup_70]

Even with 24gb of vram and 64gb of system ram (work PC), maps like Streets will be using over 36gb total for textures alone. Passing between vram and ram is helped a ton with a x3d chip, but on a regular CPU it's bad. Medium textures with Streets lower tex res mode is really all you can do right now for the smoothest gameplay.

Newer unity gets more performance on borderless haven’t tested on tarkov but found that out from rust which they completely removed exclusive full screen because of this

[@graham4133]

this is exactly what i needed. thank you so much

[@damianspeyerer5895]

Great video dude! Very informative.

[@underthewater_]

That checkerboard effect (during the LOD segment 13:38) is called 'dithering'. It basically allows half of the texture to be loaded. It's supposed to be used in conjunction with TAA, because TAA's smoothing effect will fill the empty spaces of the dithered texture. You can see a LOT of this dithered technique in RDR2. Also, fuck TAA.

[@korsikov_]

tarkov taa is horrendous. I would run no AA if this game didnt have so much foliage and dynamic lighting, which makes it a jagged unsightly mess without AA.

[@barradas2453]

Great Video. Keep up the good work :)

[@NoHope_]

i just wanted to give some notes on the "preference" thing as someone whos played a lot of competitive fps games and massively prio performance. The texture res will be something you get use to, in apex i would even run a config to get even lower texture res than possible in the settings and after a bit you get use to it. I even think it looks better now. Same with AA i usually run off, in tarkov i run FXAA because TAA can not only be blurry but can also add doubled frames or motion blur so when moving the mouse while ads you might see multiple reticles, etc. I think in a game with such shit optimization like tarkov, trying to get use to the lower res stuff for the sake of those needed frames is more than worth while instead of immediately discounting it, even for "casuals".

[@TheNegoneco]

Great vid! A quick note on Nvidia Reflex - it is *only* effective in gpu bound scenerios. If you are cpu bound, it will not reduce latency.

[@klemintime1452]

Generally true unless we're talking about on+boost (though keeping GPU-clocks high in CPU-bound situations doesn't come into play as much in modern gaming)

[@zjmathiasGG]

You are a mythic legend that Klem,ty

[@toomuchstarbucks6787]

You might be interested in this but it's possible to add the newest version of DLSS Super Resolution from the latest Cyberpunk patch to EFT with (seemingly) no threat of a ban or anything. It's such an upgrade over how soft EFT's DLSS is and (mainly due to how crap the AA solutions are) is my preferred AA solution period. The performance gains are a nice bonus.

[@klemintime1452]

I will be looking into DLSS Swapping once the NVidia App officially supports it. I want to see how Battleye reacts (if it does) since that method is significantly easier and less "scary" for some users to simply click a button in an app than swap a DLL. We'll see soon 👀

Also note that LOD affects non-scoped (non pip-scopes included) player render distance, at lod 2 you cant see players at 300m+, but at lod4 you can, it seems to scale linearly. FOV also affects this, with lower fov's rendering players at longer distances,

[@obbo]

amazingly well done

[@Mithaldu]

overall: more zoom-ins would be nice. i tried watching this on a tablet and it was hard to see things :) cpu vs gpu: might be good to call out that in actual raids most people with modern gpus will be cpu-bound since the cpu is used for scavs/bosses AND the networking, and tarkov runs an unusually dense simulation both for ai and physics, compared to other games 4:3 aspect ratio makes EVERYTHING on the screen *wider*, including enemies, which means you see less at the left and right screen edge, but it becomes easier to horizontally keep your mouse tracking enemies. this is originally meant to allow people to adjust settings to their hardware, since there is no way for the software to detect this, but used to cheat in many games like tarkov, counterstrike, even trackmania physical cores: got a link to how that affects newer cpus? from what i remember it was an issue when HT was new that it wouldn't actually help games, but now games use a lot of multi-threading that is different. dlss vs anti-aliasing: in my experience dlss PLUS the sharpening setting is superior in performance to playing with TAA and looks good and does not affect gameplay at all. you didn't mention the base sharpening setting at all i think. dlss/fsr and blurriness: again to point out the sharpening setting in the main game settings tab resampling: this is mainly a way to get anti-aliasing of the *highest* quality who want that, OR to reduce resolution for people who'd otherwise do that (or are on extremely high resolution monitors) without sacrificing mouse/aiming resolution, as that is hard-tied to the actual pixel resolution, and while you can do these things in the driver, it's more convenient to do them in the game and have them affect only this game :) object LOD quality: i'm only guessing at this, but it is i feel a rather educated guess. transparency in 3d rendering is hard because of the whole issue of not only having to sort the order of objects, but also needing to render objects in the correct order from back to front. thus a lot of engines realized they can offer an improved experience (championed by mgs5 i think), where instead of doing full transparency they apply a dither/stipple to make objects "transparent" by reducing the amount of pixels rendered, which means they can be rendered in any order now since each pixel is either opaque or fully see-through. i believe bsg got this feature for free with the unity upgrade, but hasn't fully adjusted their rendering pipeline to this. hbao: you missed out an important test there. get a gun and get close to a wall. hbao at the correct setting will render a contact shadow when your gun is close to the wall, letting you know that getting closer will trigger barrel stuffing. hbao also lets you know whether the line where two surfaces overlap is a contact point or not, which can be important for vertical lines to let you know whether the overlap is a corner where they touch, or a corner where they DON'T touch behind which lies a hallway, without needing to move at all. both of these aren't useful as hard decision makers, but help you make snap decisions with less thinking shadows quality / reflections / object lod quality: the settings for those two and probably others do the same thing regarding range, they change at which distance from the player which quality of setting is applied to render things, which is why in your reflections screenshots the reflections in the lake look identical for medium, high and ultra, because the reflection location distance is within the same "quality band" for each of them. similarly, for object lod quality, the tree change you saw may have to do with the distance. a good test might instead be to take a range finder and walk to/from objects to see when they change. visibility: similar here, since the base setting is 400, most maps rarely have you see stuff further away, so it would be good to e.g. go to woods ruaf extract and see what changes visibility does when you look at the sawmill/mountain you can get color banding over large distances when the gpu has to transition from one color to another. this happens particular when a color gradient is from e.g. rgb(2,2,2)->rgb(10,2,2) (a dark to a slightly less dark color) and stretched across much of the screen. this happens because color channels from 0-256, with no smooth steps inbetween like 2.5 inbetween integers. high color simply adds a bit of noise (dither) so the edges of color banding are smoothed out. also see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dither and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_banding . this is an example. there is still banding, but in the middle of the screen, where it's brighter, there's clearly added dither to soften the banding: i.imgur.com/auHGPWN.png nvidia reflex: boost as you say is a setting that prevents the gpu from down-clocking, which can smooth out stuttery performance caused by the gpu needing to constantly switch back and forth between low and high clocking. however it can also cause heat issues which might then cause the gpu to force throttle down when it gets too hot z-blur was supposed to make stuff like foliage blurry when you get close to it, making it easier to see through/past it. maybe retest? postfx: if you're consistently wanting to adjust stuff like gamma, contrast and brightness across many games, you should figure this out in the driver settings. also maybe learn about concepts like "moving the gamma curve midpoint", since that requires adjusting all three settings, but is also what most people really want. conversely, if you want it ONLY for tarkov, and everything else is find, tarkov-settings on github detects when tarkov is foregrounded and applies it only then binaural audio: this honestly deserves its only video, but in short: they used a library in the past that had good HRTF (binaural) enabled, which means it simulated your head and ear shape to modify audio based on direction, so you could tell JUST BY HEARING, whether something was in front or back, and gradually so ( twitter.com/mithaldu/status/1628721482397351936 ). however they disabled HRTF and then changed to a different audio library which does things like occlusion and corners better, but simply doesn't have the front-back distinction (which is the whole binaural/hrtf part in the first place), and i frankly don't even know if BSG knows that's a thing that went away. highly recommend googling hrtf demos :words: :words: :words:

forgot to mention this: low texture settings actually make it easier to spot enemies sometimes because it's easier to spot a figure on a smoother background than a detailed background

20:18 I'm one of such people who uses, in my case - FSR, as a substitute AA method. To combat the lower-than-native rendering resolution i run Tarkov at higher-than-native resolution. So, in my case, i have 1080p monitor and run Tarkov in 1440p + FSR quality. This does loose me some GPU performance, but it does give a much better picture and i'm CPU bottlenecked (as we all are in Tarkov). Note: you (or, at least, i) have to also set the system res to Tarkov res for this (with lower-than-Tarkov system res it won't work in Borderless, and with higher-than-Tarkov system res, as of this wipe, i get a massive FPS drop in Borderless), but i'm willing to change system res every time i start and end my Tarkov sessions in order to get an image that has good AA and also doesnt have blur all over it.

It doesn't make sense to me how there is such a difference, and fullscreen usually is the one with better performance. But this is Tarkov I guess.

[@CrypticXRP]

Always use borderless with Tarkov

[@M1Nero31]

Same here

[@Zarecx]

What about your monitors hz? Isnt it being limited?

[@petrkdn8224]

(this comment is not targetted at the video or the channel, just general tarkov community) its so odd.. wipes ago when i complained about performance becoming significantly worse every wipe, i was ignored and shunned and people were telling me to "upgrade my pc" , sure ive got i3 7100 and gtx1050, but tarkov has neither super high poly geometry not super high res textures, and i play games with far better performance, texture quality (higher res) and overall quality at stable 60+fps. I would really love to play this game but even a few wipes ago i had 40-50fps on lowest settingns 1080p with fsr 2 balanced... and let alone i cant play streets, even in the first iteration. but in the initial phase of streets, if i spawned in with 0 bots, (and offline match was server side), then i could actually run streets (the smallest version) at 45fps avg... the only thing that kills my fps on live streets is actually the massive amount of bots and pmcs.. and as streets got larger, i obviously cant even try offline match with 0 bots enabled at all.. now it got to the point where even people with top tier setups are getting double digits % performance decrease per wipe and its funny that NOW they are complaining about performance instead of getting better rigs... ironic yall told me to upgrade, but you wont upgrade your own computer..

[@orionfell]

People told you to upgrade because you have a budget system from 10 years ago. They’re complaining now because the whole game just saw a 15% fps drop across the board, even if you have the best possible cpu/gpu.

[@petrkdn8224]

@orionfell budget system from 10 years ago? Brother most of the system parts are from 2017. Tarkov is a 2015 game. A game from 10 years ago.

[@vlonetrendo]

Great video

[@Fennecsou]

Here's my fix, I used to get around 80 fps on custom/reserve. Since this wipe im running between 30/50 fps, the thing that fixed it was putting my game in borderless/windowed mode and upping my texture quality. It is so stupid im amazed at this point, litteraly doubled my fps even tho i put textures on high and went back to 1080p after being on low and 720p...

[@AmigoAmpz]

First timer. Great video.

[@camerondijak1261]

The checkered / cross hatching rendering effect is by far the most immersion breaking graphical issue right now for me. Depending on the object the effect will appear at extremely close distances. Specifically certain objects are way more prone to this (spools for example). I don't remember it being this bad, the object will appear crisp and then 1 step back it becomes a checkered transparent mess.

[@timoria7596]

Thank you!

[@alexandarpecic6655]

Great video. I just hate it as for each wipe I'm on the edge of my seat wondering if my FPS will go down (shocker, it did). A few wipes ago I could run all maps, excluding Streets, at around 110-130 fps depending in the map. Now I mostly play from 70-90 fps. The new parts of Customs run at around 50-65 fps. I'm playing on an I7-11700k, RX6900 XT, 32GB running at 3200mhz. I've not changed anything about my system, even when I had decent FPS a few wipes ago, and I feel like the game is forcing me to switch to Ryzen's X3D chips. Tarkov is like an abusive ex, no matter how bad, I always keep coming back...

[@mylesG23]

What does ur FPS look like in a live raid? I have a 7950x3D, 7900xtx, and 32gb ram at 6000mhz, and on Customs i struggle to get 90 fps around the garage where you were testing the PostFX. I have almost the exact same settings, only difference is my shadows were on medium quality, but dropping that only gave me like 10 fps. Customs dips into 80s all the time. Where last wipe customs was a 180+ fps map for me.

[@klemintime1452]

Oh don't worry, I'm just about there too on online when I am over there. The FPS discrepancy is from me being in an offline raid to showcase the settings. If you'd like to, some of my most recent VODs on this channel have some customs online gameplay; you can see my performance there.

[@mylesG23]

@@klemintime1452 Okay cool. Yea that's what I'm seeing for pretty much everyone else from all the threads on the sub reddit I've been reading. Patch 13 was my first wipe on this exact same PC, crazy how in 3 wipes performance went from almost a consistent 240 on Customs down to low 80s.

[@lohvrti]

​@@mylesG23 That drop off is bonkers.

[@Temperamento503]

Exelent guide my dude. Question. Would you recommend using G-syng from the nvidia application ? If the monitor supports it, of course.

[@TheZoster91]

Hi, thanks for the video, I set it up as you said but still having the same problem with FPS... I have this setup: CPU: 14700k GPU: MSI 4070 super RAM: 32GB DDR5 6400mhz OS: Win10 Pro Screen: Asus 1920x1080 144hz (I have installed the game on SSD M2) My game run bad and oscillates between, 60/70/80 FPS i tried on maps: Customs, Woods and Ground Zero. CPU and GPU max usage 30/40% both. I really do'nt understand, if i activate Nvidia reflex or Nvidia DLSS the game run worse...

[@DTMharlot]

The Vsync trick of enabling in game, disabling in Nvidia made my game completely unplayable this wipe where my character was walking in quicksand unless I stared at the ground while running. I would take 2 steps forward 1 backwards, my gun barrel was spazzing all over the screen, I thought it was issues with the patch and server lag... but unchecking Vsync in game magically fixed my problem.

[@CaptainGrognard]

Tarkov performance magician is back at it ! 🙏

[@snelgrove22]

It’s almost like they didn’t test the update before launch

[@OsaculnenolajO]

A shadeo quality comparison in the forest would be ideal. Ive found that any setting besides Low causes the shadows to be darker, but its hard to test properly as you cant change the setting in game. As for AA. From my testing, at 1440p, DLSS Quality is actually quite good, and offers a nice performance bump over TAA High without any visual impact that I can tell.

[@klemintime1452]

Good feedback. This is what I want to do, but getting like for like comparisons requires a LOT of things to go right. In the raid, I need to be able to confirm that its the same time, same place, and same weather. If offline coop gave me the power to control exactly where I spawned, I probably could do this easily on a map like woods but it would take some time. I do have a full video about Shadow Quality on the channel already but maybe its time for a redo. I will try my best and see what I can do o7

[@OsaculnenolajO]

@klemintime1452 Appreciate the work lol. It's always such a process to get Tarkov settings right on new wipes.

[@dannywayne1217]

I use dlss on 1080p way more stable looking image than any of the taa’s

[@Hot_LeafJuice]

As of the start of the wipe, I am running 16GB of RAM (3600 MHz) and having auto RAM cleaner enabled was causing extreme hitching for me on my low-mid tier system. I'd definitely recommend keeping it off (and doing as you said in the video) if this is happening to others.

[@Dole_BludgeTTV]

I feel like this is the only KZbin video I come looking for when I have bad fps 😂🤣

[@TheUnRemarkableGamer]

Not sure if you have tested it already, but the FPS fluctuations for low LODs don't really bear out. Sure, you might run into snags that maybe feel slightly more abrupt, your overall performance is still leagues higher. I went from 40 fps in new areas of customs to 70+. I'll take swings from 120 to 70 versus 70 to 40 anyday.

[@Eagles_Eye]

Fingers crossed they can improve performance here on out with the upgraded engine

[@Prado2507]

Changing from Fullscreen to Borderless gave me +10-15 fps no matter of map or what is going on on the map. Some people say that's unity 2022 bug. Also previous wipe the difference between Binaural ON and OFF was 20 fps loss. But now its enabled by default, and changing it in %appdata% Sound.ini to false seems to make no difference :(

[@nothardforme]

Thank you, switching to borderless brought the smoothness back ! Used to be the other way around before borderless gave me microstutters ...

[@Prado2507]

@ yea, but borderless tends to push my PC to reboot and bluescreens 😅

[@Diegoelflaco]

And how can you play with the unity 2022 graphics engine?, or is it already integrated?, thank you.

i need help. I have process lasso and i tried all Setttings from many viedeos. Nvidia... windows... tarkov... all Settings. I GOT A 4070 Super and a Ryzen 9 3900x 12 core..... and i got on streets only 30-50 fps... i dont know what to do. The Usage of gpu and cpu is like only 20-35%..... All games work perfectly... but not tarkov. Please somenone can help me. Im frustrated. Drivers are on newest version too btw

[@saint_snow]

That's interesting. They finally fixed it, so you can't see players through treelines and such with a lower LoD. Comes with a cost to performance though.

[@scgamerd]

Each update: 2 steps backward at this point. I have Rtx 3080 (12 GB), upgraded to 64 GB DDR4 (for this game), 11700KF and was able to get 60-100 fps on 3440x1440 on PVE on high. After this patch: micro stuttering, FPs drops below 40 A LOT. Ambient map Sound disappears after I use sights on any weapon for rest of the game. Can’t play any PVE matches with my friends online (disconnection issues). So now solution is for me to set everything to lowest setting to have playable frames? I guess I’ll stop playing until it’s fixed

[@johnnyzynstv]

Awesome video man! If I have 8GB of VRAM and 16GB of shared memory on my 3070 which texture quality would you recommend? Not sure how shared memory works with your advice...

[@johnnyzynstv]

I'll also add that I play in 3440x1440p in 43:18 aspect ratio

[@djboricua23]

SSR is a big tanker as well

[@instantpartyWTF]

I may have missed it, but what settings would you recommend to turn on to put more load on CPU and offload on GPU? I don't have any issues currently, but my GPU usage is 90-100% usually around 90% - My CPU only uses 30-40% the entire time, is this normal? I have a 4070 S, and 13600k

[@trashcompactorYT]

I have an 8gb card (3070) and high textures hasn’t been an issue for me. I have 32gb of ram to help. I typically use a weird setup. I use NVIDIA DLDSR at I think it’s like 2660p? That’s downscaled to 1080p for my monitor of course. Then I use DLSS Quality. This results in a very crisp image with the same performance that I get at native 1080p. I actually run the game at very close to max settings while leaving the LOD and Overall Visibility at default and get basically no difference in frames compared to low settings. It’s clear that I have a CPU bottleneck based on that. Unfortunately the game doesn’t really have multithreading support so that probably won’t stop being an issue any time soon

[@TheStingling]

Hey Klemintime, first time on your channel, did you ever do a video on "Lossless scaling" ? Ive been using and it helped me alot in tarkov, would love to know your opinion on it

[@noire4k]

Thanks Unc

[@miguelcanizares7522]

Btw from what i know ssr and hbao both affect cpu performance slightly. So turning them both off might give like 6% performance or more compared to both being on high

[@klemintime1452]

This could have a slight impact, yes. I was not able to confirm this in my testing yet, but I will do a look back on these two when I can and see if I can see any measurable impact. May still be too small to really confirm but good to note.

[@TheMortHub]

I am so sick and tired of feeling like I’m getting 30 fps every single raid. And every single fight, the second I shoot, I drop down to like 10 until the shooting is over.
