not a tech person, but from what i've understood tarkov runs better the better the single core perfomance is; and hyperthreading supposedly puts more strain on the core the thread it is related to, which means decreasing single core perfomance (?)
Hyperthreading disables opportunity to divide core into two threads, so each core = each thread. Due to this you increase capacity of L(1,2,3 (mostly know about L1)) caches. Tarkov is hungry on those caches, also when you lower some of graphic settings, some job relays on CPU, which also decreases fps. Better version of RAM and it’s clocks and frequency also ensures that your cpu won't be bottleneck. I wish there was some PC settings which laptops (even gaming, like my one) hadn't
I'm Playing on an I7 7700k and I get better performance with the " Only use Physical Cores " Disabled, I mean on Streets I was floating on 40-60 fps Disabled it, now I float around 55-75 fps
my biggest problem right now with tarkov is the game simply not utilizing any of my resources, i started to think it was just a ram bottleneck so i bought 32gb of 3600 ddr4 ram, because mine was 16gb of 24/2600, im hoping it fixes the game only using 30-40% of both my gpu and cpu, ive watched countless videos and everything i do simply doesnt give me any additional frames with my i5 11400 or 3060, i get around 70-80 fps on customs but maps like lighthouse and streets im barely maintaining 30-40 fps, but then it stutters really weirdly then my fps will skyrocket up to about 70-80 then out of nowhere im stuck back down to 30-40, which im assuming maybe someone killed a rogue or something like that which takes some load off of my resources? idk, ive been having this issue for a while now and i cant seem to find an answer anywhere other than my own hypothesis that im being bottlenecked by ram. if anyone has had or has simillar problems could you leave a reply with either a fix or if theyre also having the same issue? maybe once i get new ram if it does bring me out of the what i think is a bottleneck i can put down my solution, and to add on another thing my game runs off of an m.2, from what i hear games run fastest on them, but idk, im just trying to find answers and it seems everywhere i look i cant seem to find anything that actually helps my issue, most videos say "having low gpu/cpu usage? well youre wrong youre just using task manager, use msi afterburner overlay!" and im using afterburner overlay and its still saying 30-40% !!!

@@loserXO see i tried doing that a few weeks ago and it seemed like it really did nothing, then i watched another video that essentially told me to crank my settings so the game would be using high resolution graphic computing in turn using my gpu but i found with that solution is it really just increased my gpu usage and kept my fps around the same if not lowering it... im going to seriously have to take a few hours just to mess around with my settings and see if there is anything that does anything, seems most options that directly affect your performance require restarting your game and i really dont want to have to boot into the game, go to the exact same spot in the map to get an accurate reading, then reset my game and rinse and repeat...
only one thing I wanna say, If you have a decent gpu and your computer is cpu limited, having lower textures/shadows puts higher pressure on your cpu to remove some from your gpu so you wanna have these as high as your gpu can handle
Finally I see someone else say this. I always thought it was weird I got better frames with higher graphics. I used to get 70 yo 90 frames on most maps. With low everything beside textures. Once I cranked them all to high being textures shadows on ultra hbao and ssr on high I’m pushing 130 plus frames on all maps beside streets and lighthouse. I have a 3060ti and a Ryzen 5 5600 or something not exactly sure
I really wonder what other settings are CPU related or GPU related. For example, I think HBAO and SSR are GPU related so increasing their quality puts work on GPU. I also have CPU bottleneck. I have 3080 with i9 9900K and have fps problems on Lighthouse and Streets, other maps are good only exception is Reserve, Reserve is okay performance.
@@inreisenyour intuition is correct my friend! Most processes for lighting are indeed GPU bound. And the lower your resolution the more of a CPU bottle neck you will run into. There is however a setting you can change on the NVidia control panel that limits the amount of frames your CPU can pre render and que for your GPU which cuts on that bottle neck slightly if your rig would benefit from a setting like that being turned on. Before upgrading my PC I was using a gtx 960 and had high textures but low settings for shadows and HBAO and SSR and would get close to 60 frames. Getting a new MOBO, RAM, CPU, GPU let me max all the lighting settings out on top of the textures and still got an FPS increase.
@@xKalxElx What is that setting? Is that v-sync? I am using DLDSR in order to upscale my 1080p monitor to 1440p. With that my bottleneck is much lower and my in-game settings are all max only the exception of Object LOD Quality(which decreases my fps so much, around 15-20 fps if change that from 2 to 4). I am trying to optimize Tarkov for years and it's so difficult.
The reason why is bc Tarkov only uses physical cores, the performance boost comes after you disable it 13:33 bc then the game runs through only the physical cpus instead of going through a physical and then a logical and then going over and over again like that trying to figure out which one it could run through, so the process is longer

The affinity thing afaik is supposedly beneficial for AMD cpus, especially Ryzen due to the inter-ccx cache latency. By forcing the cpus to not 'share' cache by disabling half of them (for the specific application), the cache latency is a non-issue.
It was especially needed for inter-CCX CPUs (basically before 5000 series) but it yields performance benefits in basically any CPU configuration, Intel and 5th Gen Ryzen included. Threads still use registers of the same main core afterall.
Well i actually i was testing out if you have lag when streaming in OBS and you run the game @ max FPS. i feel like i get buffers in the stream. But when i do cap the game to 60 FPS i think this solve the issue. Is there a another way to play the game a max fps for me thats arround 100. and stream the game.
Idk if there is a fix or its just normal but I'm using Ryzen 7 3700x and 3070 and GPU never goes 100%(max it chills is 65% on MAX settings on lighthouse) when I test it in raids/ offline raids
hello my CPU is i5-8400, I have only 6 cores to work with (CPU 0, CPU 1, CPU 2, CPU 3, CPU4, CPU 5), should i manually uncheck CPU 1, CPU 3 and CPU 5 in process lasso?? or Does it totally make no sense with my processor and it won't work on my cpu
I've got a Ryzen 7 1700 Eight Core processor, 16GB RAM and a 1080GPU. Does this mean in Lasso for CPU Affinity I check 0, 2, 4, 6, 8? And only use physical cores in tarkov?
You can just find that BE.exe file and right-click on it to revert to the steps you did in the video. If you cannot find that EscapeFromTarkovBE file, the settings should reset with a reinstall of Process Lasso. Hope this helps :)
Process Lasso needs to be at least on in the background for it to be governing (it has its own process called "Process Lasso Governor" if I recall that controls stuff). As long as it shows up in the app collection in the bottom right (or in the task manager with the governor) you should be good.
is this something we need to come do everytime we open tarkov? also, i saw another video by tigz that talked about disabling smt? is that needed as well?
Nope- all of the changes you're doing in this video should keep consistent (as long as you have Process Lasso open). Some may reset with certain windows updates (maybe) so you could check up on them then.
@@klemintime1452 anything on ram usage within tarkov? Just use auto ram cleaner or an external software like memory cleaner? Or just leave it alone and restart every once in a while?
@@billyrobison1150 ISLC or empty standby list should help illeviate some of the RAM issues with tarkov. I do not recommend Auto RAM Cleaner, though- I believe the external ones do a better job (and also, that one has been prone to people complaining of stutter).

What im really curious is what kind of CPU/GPU utilization % you are having while in online raid in maps like streets and lighthouse. i have 12700k+3080ti and 1440p and lately i have had this problem where i only get 40-60fps as my utilizations drop down to 15% CPU and 25% GPU. i have now completely reinstalled drivers and its not fixed, might have to try reinstall tarkov.

So under CPU Affinity, I unselect all cores with E at the end as well? I have a few more then you do
Yep! Unselect the ones with E next to it too (so that the game only uses the Performance cores in your CPU)
Nvidia control panel has plenty of hidden options to boost perfomance, worth including.
I should research those (I.E the threaded optimization one) to throw into this too., good catch.
Already knew about everything except the windows debloating tool. Thanks for that its an absolute game changer for any windows system out there.
