i have a multi thoustand dollar pc and i get a maximum of 90 fps on this game with shitty settings and no other applications opened. please help me. i havew 16 gbs of ram, nvidia geforce 3070 and AMD Ryzen 7 5800x 8 core. please help me
90 fps doesnt bother me but i literally cannot play the game because of stutters. Literally every time someone shoots at me or in general my game stutters which makes every single pvp or pve fight an automatic loss. the game for me is literally unplayable
My game went from unplayable to the smoothest ive ever felt it in the last 2 years i played i could not be in a single fight without lagging i followed so many other peoples guides i even upgraded my CPU and i was still stuttering constantly, some of the steps you showed in this video were things that ive never seen people even talk about when it came to combat stuttering. Now i can actually enjoy the game your invited to my wedding cheers mate.
Ayeee I'm glad I could help man, enjoy your smooth fights 2 years for a fix that must of been frustrating there's so many useless videos on yt ATM. Happy raids! Goodluck item questing!
@Offisianシ At what point has youtube "removed dislikes" from my channel if that's what you're saying, theres no such thing as removing dislikes and it's DEFINITLY not a thing for youtube todo it on some no-name no sub channel like mine.
glad i could help ya, hopefully you have an enjoyable time as said my video was never ment to "improve fps" it was more so how to make your current fps stable, most of these "optimization guides" are all the same wannabe bs copy cat videos just to rake in views and 90% of the time are useless and do nothing in todays age of hardware.
A year later and you're still helping people out! My game was close to unplayable after the new patch, everytime I got into a firefight the game would freeze. Your tips improved it MUCH more, I still get an occasional stutter but it's NOTHING compared to before. So thanks brother, for real 💪🏻
Just wanted to come back by and say thanks because Tarkov was driving me nuts! My frametime graph looked like a saw blade every few seconds with a 13900k/4090. I think the CPU lasso and MIP streaming settings helped the most and now it's smooth as glass.
Glad i could help and finally you can now enjoy tarkov if that's even possible haha appreciate you coming back and commenting! Heres hoping the new unity engine upgrade will actually fix majority of tarkovs issues.
I cant actually believe this, my game went from unplayable to the smoothest gameplay i ever felt THIS IS AMAZING MAN. You are a legend! THANKS THANKS. i watched almost 6 "optimization" videos and none of them make the game smoother. When i found this one i was hopeless haha Greetings from argentina!!!
glad i could help! majority of todays "optimization" videos is all the same bs "clean temp files, adjust for best performances, change game exe compatibility mode" basically majority of it is useless, some of it is useful for people who've had the same windows install for years and is filled with junk files but doesn't really help with FPS.
i love dudes whom know what theyre talkin about. Like you disregard the classic tutorials on fixing issues and take your time to share expertise. Thankyou
Great to know im helping people out, hopefully you enjoy your raids and best of luck question, you can sip this below if you're not interested but if you are enjoy! i personally wouldn't say i know exactly what im talking about but i do know from experience what has worked and not worked for me over the years XD just sharing that with people who need it. the classic "clear temp, power mode, ect" that stuff can help but only on specific systems for example a PC/Laptop with duel GPU's maybe 1 for spare monitors or iGPU if power mode isn't setup it'll automatically choose a GPU and in some cases it'll choose the weaker GPU resulting in poor performance. The temp file thing is good if you've kept the same windows for years without general maintenance although with todays age of SSD's theres no such thing as "fragmentation" anymore on a mechanical drive since not many people use them anymore so it's another useless tip for fps only good for saving space these days. The "adjust for best performance" option people do used to work wonders for windows 7 and older because it disabled the transparency and "aero" effect which hogged GPU power back in the day that does nothing in windows 10 so again a useless tip to give for fps. The absolute best thing when it comes to gaining FPS is what i've shown you & stripping/debloating windows off all the junk that way nothing is hogging power.
@@ThatBritishGuy thanks man. In general, the tips and advice given wont just help with tarkov but help our other games aswell. Like tarkov is so weird in optimisation. The mip streaming even though our computers are essentially 1:1 (although you have 2g vram and 0.2 Ghz more cpu base freq then me) [tdlr: i have 1050ti and i5-7400] is not helping me even though you suggested. Your guide ironically made me get frames i shoulda had since i remember this performance being had 4 wipes ago but i do know i can play games like fucking terraria or Pac-Man at frames i really dont need XD. Thankyou again and i think ive reached thr limit to optimisation. I *WILL* link this vid and maybe even the river tuner one (though that doesnt inc performance just stabilizes it as you mentioned) to peeps on discord whom need it.
For anyone having bad FPS/Stuttering with the Streets update try turning Off Binaural Audio. I don't know why but I know for me it gave me about a 15-20FPS boost when I did.
Thx for the guide man. My setup is not that bad but after Streets of Tarkov launch i was just not able to play there because of serious stutters. Your solutions made the stutters go away. Even if my framarate on this map varies from 45 to 80, the transitions are smooth enough for me to not to be killed because of it. I had fights with hard fps drops and i was still in control. On the rest of the maps the drops are now barely noticable and there is no hard stutters. I tested this in other games too and it works great. For example in Assetto Corsa Competizione, split second stutter may be the difference betwen you making the corner and going offtrack or hitting somebody. In this game still there are hard stutters if someone joins the server during the race but i play on the servers where is no mid-session join. Thx a lot! None of the guides from the internet did that for me. I had of course significant framerate increases but the stutters were so annoying.
Im glad i could help you solve majority of your hard freezing during fights or running around, you should look at my latest video about frametimes to smoothen out your frametimes and make the game more consistent if you wish or if you're happy with what you've got then happy raids. wish you the best of luck for quest items in raid!!! have fun see you in there!
Gonna try this later, hopefully it actually does something unlike the 40 other optimaztions ive done that havent helped Edit: I actually love you holy shit the performance boost is insane, get quite a lot more fps on lighthouse and minimal to no stutters which was a huge issue for me before. Thank you
glad i could help, those other "optimizations" videos are all fake these days, back on windows vista and windows 7 when you could control the aero and visual effects of windows it worked amazingly but todays windows you have no control over the visuals so it's useless. this video is primarily just for stuttering but if you gained frames then that's a bonus, have fun in tarky!
Thanks for the video, this is one of the first videos about video game setting optimization that doesn't cover the same exact Windows settings that every other video does. I have a i7-2600 in an old Optiplex 990, 20GB of RAM (2x8GB, 2x2GB), a MSI 1050ti LP (+150core +450mem), and a 512GB SSD + 3x1TB HDDs. I started playing a few months ago and my framerate was alright with no stutters, and while I still suck at PVP I was able to flick a few scavs. With the new update my framerate was completely bork'd and I was stuttering like hell, I gave up playing after wipe day because my frametimes + server issues made the game unbearable. After giving the game another go today I still had the same issues, so I luckily found your videos and went from a stuttery 20fps to a smooth 30-45fps (45fps during clear weather in Woods, 30 during the rain in Reserve) It's insane how un-optimized this game is, I mean, with how few AI exist in the game world, yet they take up damn near 30-40% of your framerate just to compute. Another interesting thing is how the wrong audio settings/implementations can cause severe stuttering. In Tarkov having binaural audio enabled causes stutters, in Discord having my VoiceMeeter audio device set as default will cause audio stuttering, and while using Oculus Link to my Quest 2, if the audio setting isnt set to "default" in the Oculus app, I get stutters in VR.
Yeah this game is insanely bad optimised for how small the maps are compared to other games with AI, they'd definitely borked the coding completely and instead of fixing it they just keep piling code ontop of already broken code, it needs to be redone from ground up to fix the issues they have.
Omfg, thank you so much!! Tarkov became unplayable somehow on my laptop this last month or so. It would stutter every second. I was just about to give up on it. Now I can indulge in my loot gambling addiction. Thank you, sir!
ryzen 5600g, rx 6600 xt, 32 gigs, ssd, i usua;ly got 110 fps in a raid but whenever I shot an auto gun it would go down to about 4 but this saved me thank you i got this game today and can finally enjoy it.
Thank you so much man!! I already had next 16gb ram in shoping cart 🤦🏼♂️ ofcourse, now is game running 100% smoother and streets are now finally playeble... vram changed everything. I have 3 discs, 2 ssd and one old hdd as backup for photos and etc.. ofc genius windows alocated vram space on this HDD 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ So i changed it to the ssd and everything works great! Thx!!!
Before, everything was fine, stable FPS without lags and anything else, I just play normally. But at one point (I still didn’t understand why), I started having fierce freezes and they happen exactly when an icon pops up in the upper right corner as if the server wants to kick me out, that is, a crossed connection and it is at this moment that the freezes begin. I tried many ways from different people, but I still didn’t understand how to fix it) In addition to this, after raids, an error almost always pops up when items do not want to move in the warehouse, and an error pops up with the opposite something there (I don’t remember, I just immediately re-enter game). And this combination does not allow me to play calmly, but there are moments when you sit and wait for these freezes to pass, but it can come out in very unpleasant moments of the game.
Appreciate the advice, you are so right I was just talking about this on Reddit the other days since this patch 13 the performance is has gotten worse on all maps, I don't know how ppl justify just constantly throwing money at the problem for a single game, and the amount of click bait for ppl that are struggling is ridiculous. If I need 64 gigs of ddr5, i9 clocked at 6ghz, and a 4090 to play a game, the game probably shouldn't be played.. this guide definitely is the most logical approach I've seen recently that fits what solutions I'm looking for I just want stable frames I'm not looking for the highest frames
Thats exactly the rant & rage chat i was going for tbh, i literally just got off reading 3-4 reddit post's of people just replying with "hey throw money at it" and it pissed me off and that's where this video came from as you can tell by the tone in my voice during the video haha. you're absolutely right, if you gotta throw all that hardware power at a game just to pull 110-120avg then theres a problem with the game itself, from a price to performance stand-point doing it this way for stable gameplay is better than spending 1-2k on a new PC just to get higher fps, low fps in tarkov isn't as noticable as low fps in cs or valorant because of the nature of the game.
anyone who is hesitant about trying this, i got 50 frames regularly with 16gb ram 1660, 200gb ssd i5 9400f. when i used the bios overclock for dram and set the ram in the file explorer thingy i ran customs online at 90 frames basically zero jitters. and tbh, if i didnt convince you try it anyway, its only 30 mins of your time for a potential fix to the most aids game ever performance wise
Glad that i don't need to try convince anyone, the majority of the comments can speak for themselves im glad it worked for you and i appreciate you commenting trying to let people know that it is a solid fix for most people with jitter/stutter issues.
bro thank you so much i have a rtx 2060 and a amd ryzen 5 5600 6 core and 16 gigs of ram i i was experiencing stutters this video help me so much i can finnaly play this game properly and not die because of stutters thanks man keep up the good work
Bought a 5800x3d, (other speccs are 2060 and some DDR 4 Ram (16gb)) got the game up in running and still got 40 fps average and stutters + full 2 to 10 sec freezes, enabling Mip and AMD Fsr 2.1 and i am at 160 fps consistent on customs, you can imagine how happy i am by this and how pissed i was Very appriciate, thank you :)
see a 5800x3d impulse buy doesn't always fix your issues, warning i believe interchange has a really bad memory leak atm but the other maps seem fine. happy raids!
I like how you actually give advice and don't show some random ass settings that every person with common sense uses. I especially cringe at those youtubers that give useless advice like clearing out temp files or whatever shit others recommend, which would only work if your computer is from 1995
i mean cleaning temp files can work if you're running a HDD and if you don't maintain your PC very well but majority of people already know about that stuff anyway so theres no reason i should even mention about it as you said straight common sense stuff.
@@ThatBritishGuy metoo I still get massive random frame drops. Its so annoying. Ill be running a solid 80 fps then randomly hit a spike below 60 for awhile. Super annoying.
I am so grateful for this video went from 35 frames without being able to fire my gun without dropping to 10 fps to a consistent 70 frames with no stutters just from disabling binurial audio
Yeah binaural audio is so dam bad it's insane, it wasn't in the video cus this was before the patch but it was put in the description and the few others that mentioned it in the comments.
How are you supposed to play without binaural audio? Wouldn’t you be completely unable to determine the location of sounds (100% of the time instead of just randomly when Tarkov has audio glitches)?
@ThatBritishGuy in ur video u stated that bc the server isnt local it takes performance from your pc. That is avrually incorrect. If the server was local all of the map processing and ai movement and actions qould be processed by ur pc. Bc it is online, you actually are getting better cpu performance. But if ur network is bad. It wont matter bc that causes stuttering on its own
Secondly. Most of this game is processed on the cpu because it is server sided. All of the game except what is immediately in ur view on screen, is processed by the cpu bc it's scripts. Not high intensity graphics processing. As far as graphics tarkov isn't that high end. It's all the loot and individual items being picked up, dropped, etc. All of that is sent through the server to ur client at which time the client processes that as a script and registers it on ur end. Ur gpu isn't handling the scripts for the loot or anything that isn't graphics based. Ur gpu isn't a gaming processing unit. It's a graphics processing unit. Just bc its good at graphics doesn't mean it's good at handling scripts.
if what you just said was actually factual then why does tarkov offline run better when ran locally than when ran online with BSG's servers? Surely if it's ran locally entirely on my end it would run worse not better since it's extra workload, i can understand what you're trying to say but if what you said is how tarkov is doing it then the performance wouldn't be that bad which is why what you said is partially wrong.
im well aware the GPU is a Graphics Processing Unit but theres still specific things the GPU can process better than the CPU that tarkov isn't utilising, GPU's have alot of things built into them besides graphics processing these days, HW Encoding, physics all that is built right into them which otherwise wouldn't of been back in the day.@@temuguy1521 The point is BSG is not using things correctly which is causing insane performance issues for everyone else, how else do you explain 4090's and 2023 CPU's struggling to perform on a game nearing 7 years old.... im sorry but when hardware from todays years struggles to run a game that's nearing a decade old then something is clearly wrong with the game itself.
Not to mention BSG forcing everything possible into RAM that could otherwise be kept on the drive, all they're doing is making extra queues and workloads between the CPU and GPU by doing that, they do little to 0 caching besides loot icons, they refuse to make AI calculations strickly server side idk what else to tell you man. Theres games out there thats got WAAAAY more complicated AI, way more quanitity of players and way more complicated graphics and 10x the map sizes but somehow perform 20x better than tarkov. if you got the explaination as to why these other games can do it but BSG can't then by all means go right ahead but the only answer is BSG isn't coding the game correctly and the GPU & CPU isn't being utilised correctly with the game itself. simple.
Example, Rust runs on unity just like tarkov, has AI, has 250+ players in a server with constant loot drops, constant debris flying around, animals you name it yet somehow rust manages to give you perfectly fine 200+ fps on the most low end old hardware yet tarkov on the same engine with a smaller map, less players and less AI can bearly break the 100 mark if you're lucky and you gotta own a PC with 5grands worth of GPU and CPU power? if you got the explaination please do explain it but no explaination will be good enough. Tarkov is and will always be badly made not efficient, small maps, 10-15players max with some AI spread around walking on set paths (Not Complicated) 0 reason for the game to absolutely TANK fps strickly from AI alone.
I've been using Process Lasso for more than a year now and it used to help with performance with hyperthreading disabled, but I've noticed lately I get better performance with hyperthreading on, it could be because im using Win 11 and it has better CPU scheduling than Win 10 I still use Lasso, but I only limit Tarkov to use CPU 0-15, while limiting background apps such as Discord, Winamp, Firefox etc to E-cores 16-23 For reference my specs are: i9-1900k (Manually overclocked all P-cores to 5.2ghz) Asus RTX 4070Ti ROG Strix OC (Manually overclocked, runs in MSI mode) 64GB RAM with XMP @ 3600mhz Game is installed on a M2 NVME SSD After upgrading my RAM from 32 to 64GB, both Lighthouse and Streets runs a lot smoother, as both maps use up about 32GB of RAM, I found this to be a better solution than increasing the pagefile. You make some good points, but even 32GB of RAM can bottleneck your performance in some maps, depending on the settings of course.
I mean yeah technically speaking adding more ram and throwing money at the problem will eventually fix it but with the new engine coming out in the next few weeks (next technical patch in the road map) which offers and i quote "massive boost's to performance" and "significantly reducing memory consumption" i feel like the 32gb of ram will turn out to be overkill aslong as BSG sticks to what they say. the only reason maps use so much memory in tarkov is strickly due to the fact they put all the maps into memory during the "loading" phase if they just did what everone else does and leave it to load texture from the drive and just optimised textures and compression that way it'd run a ton better Upgrading to 32gb kits isn't for everyone, not many people can do that, have funds todo that or play on ram limited specific hardware making it unsupported to use that much memory.
@@ThatBritishGuy Im not gonna say it doesnt load all maps into the RAM, but from my understanding i didnt think it did, just based on that the amount of RAM being used varies from map to map. But the textures, shaders and such should be loaded into the Video RAM, not the RAM. If you mean it leaks or sticks in the memory, i agree, thats why restarting the game before or after playing certain maps help. However i dont see it using less RAM initially after the patch, but with less leakage and more optimized usage, but i may be wrong. However, the pagefile will always be slower than actual RAM, and in my opinion you should only make games utilize the pagefile as a last resort.
i got a i910900k, 4080 and 32gb ddr4 ram on a ssd and i really dont understand how tf i cant get over 60/70 fps in online raids on large maps like lighthouse etc....even if i put my settings down it dont change at all....really dont know what to do
Ima be as bluntly honest with you as possible, no matter how much money you throw at tarkov you're not getting more than 100fps MAX on the big maps like streets and lighthouse, not even the top streamers get that fps either so dw. with your hardware you'll wanna have some settings up otherwise that 4080 is going to be at power-saving idle mode not boosting up.
September Update from a Rando with a GTX 1660 TI 16 GB of Ram and a i7 9750H I was barely able to get above 40 FPS and your a god Dam Fucking Lifesaver now I can get 60 - 70 on interchange and the stutter Fix alone would have been Gold in my book, not only that but feels like I gave my pc a fresh overhual somehow normal operaiton feels waaaay more snappy then normal which i certainly wont complaiin about. I was talking to a takov youtuber and all he told me after i told him my specs and that i set all the graphics settings to low was to just get 32GB of Ram, and call it a day, but thank thank thank YOU for all the background info to help me understand why Tarkov was behaving the way it is. I will name my Child after YOU King
I have i3-4130 8gb of ram and GTX 750Ti and after ur video without overclocking, tarkov actually playable, loaded in as a test into Shoreline and I still have stutters for first 10-20s and game lags first time I open inventory or first time I press esc, but after that, smooth for the rest of the raid. Another thing I use aswell is Mem Reduct program, cuz this game I think has big memory leak or something I set it on Mem Reduct to clean ram every 5min and it seems like helped aswell I never thought I could run tarkov on such a shitty pc that well. I think if I would upgrade ram to 2x 8gb sticks instead of 2x 4gb sticks, I would not even have problems at the start
Alot of people assume the stutters, low fps, crashing and lag spikes are due to old hardware when in reality it's due to poor game design and management of your hardware. Glad it's finally playable and on shoreline too which had a new sky box similar to streets and a few other changes that tanks fps, 16GB of ram over 8 makes a HUUUGE difference in terms of load-times and stuttering as can be seen in my interchange test clips but being on as old of hardware you're on only do that upgrade if you happen to find a set for super cheap. being a 750ti i highly recommend FSR or Nvidia's Image Scaling inside the control panel, tarkov uses ALOT of video memory and the 750TI will be lacking that department.
@@ThatBritishGuy Thank you gonna try out Image Scaling. Another thing I tried Mip Streaming and it seem to help so much with stutters, but for some reason item icons takes to load in forever, super annoying for looting. Maybe you know a work around so icons would load with mip streaming?
i've had tons of positive comments in regards to fixing stutters using this old trick but i have had the few that's claimed it doesn't aswell so best of luck hopefully it helps you, do reply and let me know how it goes.
Yeah idk people out here complain about getting 80fps and 100fps and theres real people out here struggling with just pushing 60fps. if you're getting 100+ fps in tarkov then theres no reason to be googling fps tips it blows my mind, hopefully the engine upgrade road-map boosts fps "dramatically" like they say it will.
Pretty much incontrovertible facts you point out. I am a professional SW engineer (for the automotive and defense industries). I love this game but there is something obviously wrong with how BSG coded 3 different areas: - AI - REFLEX, DLSS, latency reduction - sound engine I have 2 strong performance machines, one from 2021 with 40GB RAM and a 6GB VRAM card, the other from 2022, 32GB RAM, 8GB VRAM card, 10th gen and 11th gen CPUs respectively. Tarkov runs nearly maxed out on the 2021 machine and 55 to 76 FPS with PVE engaged in offline mode. Tarkov takes a dive into the low 40s fps with the more recent machine.. I use the same SSD on superspeed interfaces with both machines. Same Nvidia drivers on both machines. The only big diff is the 2021 machine has WIN10, the 2022 machine has WIN11. Both systems are very very optimized. The exact same settings demand 6 GB RAM spikes in the 2021 machine, and 8GB RAM spikes in the 2022 machine. Very odd.
I was getting really bad frames and stutters but I found lowest graphics with AMD FSR 2.1 on performance really help frame and stuttering issues for those who don’t have an SSD
Good to know, i appriciate you letting people know this might help others! if you don't have an SSD do not use MIP Streaming just keep using FSR cus mip streaming uses your HDD/SSD to load focused textures to save on VRAM usage.
@@ThatBritishGuyThanks man this video really helped me out. Battlestate just really need to start focusing on better optimisation and bug fixes at the minute.
cheers, glad i can be of help if i do figure literally anything out i'll throw it in a video also i appreciate your homie recommending my video to people, that's lit. Goodluck in your tarky raids!!
Hello There! I hope you are doing very well. I share with you this problem that I have had for years and I cannot solve it. The tarkov is super fluid for me and I have no major problems, BUT when using a scope with magnification, even if it is x2, the game freezes for 0.5 to 2 seconds. This happens at the time of aiming, then it is corrected but if I let 1 or 2 minutes pass, the screen freezes again when aiming. My computer is as follows: Ryzen 7 5800x, 32 GB of RAM at 3200, RX 5700 XT of 8 Gb and the game is installed on an SSD, it should be noted that all the components are updated to date, including the OS which is Windows 10. I've tried to adjust the monitor's frame rate, from the BSG launcher, I've undervolted the graphics, I've played without discord, with discord, only with tarkov, reinstall tarkov from scratch, reinstall drivers from scratch, reinstall the operating system from scratch even and nothing can fix the problem. If you have any idea how I can fix it, I would appreciate it :c
Try using FSR, the freezing due to aiming is because tarkovs scopes are double rendered, basically means it renders the game twice which is what causes it to lag also enable any shader cache if AMD's software has that, im not familiar with AMD's software so idk what kind of options you have in there. Make sure 10000% that any "memory cleaners" including tarkovs built in one is turned OFF, alot of "tarkov fps guides" tell you to download/enable these please do not use them they can also cause these kind of issues.
Doesn't help that the game is based off of the Unity Engine. The Unity Engine is good for simple games that work for beginner game development. Not for something that BSG is trying to produce.
Yeah they made a poor choice of engine for a game like this but when they first started making tarkov the BSG Dev team was not only small but not exactly the best out there at the time, porting the game to a different engine would work but could be a huge fail if done in-correctly.
I am not sure, look at Rust, its a Unity game with big map, a lot of buildings, interaction environment, Ai etc and it is really smooth. The difference is the skill dev team.
@@orbator i remember when rust first came out it ran absolutely terrible and it took the rust dev team YEARS and multiple changes to the game to get it to work right but rust also was a MASSIVE ram hog.
all i can say to that is Welcome To Tarkov! those framerates are actually very typical, tarkov is insanely badly optimised you can throw £50,000 for a NASA PC and you'll still bearly push 150-160avg, scoping in and dropping fps to 80 is also normal, when you scope in the game basically renders TWICE as if you've got 2 tarkovs running and that's why your frames drop drastically. Essentially it's just tarkov, the devs can't code/optimise at all.
@@ThatBritishGuy hello do you have anything for chrashes before getting in the game menu?? i could play the game the last days and still get couple of errors but now i cant even get to the menu of the game help pls. thx
@@leuteristsakiris6744 What's your systems specs first of all, CPU, GPU, Ram & HDD or SSD? Did you follow the video prior to asking this question aswell?
@@ThatBritishGuy yea and i have an amd sapphire radeon 6600 xt 8 gb with ryzen 7 3800x 3.9ghz and 16 gb of ram. i tried a lot of thing the game at first was kinda playable but it was still getting errors and after some thing i tried though tarkov support that shows you what to do my game couldnt get in game menu right before go in the menu it freezes and restart my pc.i have uninstalled the game and installed it again but nothing works.
@@ThatBritishGuy lol actually i found a solution the game is so bad for real it was the memory ram like i have 16 gb of ram and i was using 4 of that and i couldnt get into the game. i deleted some game and got down to 3 gb of ram of use and it worked
I wouldn't mind a follow-up talking about AI and why it specifically causes the FPS loss and how BSG could improve it going forward. gonna try some of the suggestions and advice put here and see if it boosts my game's FPS I'm on a 1050TI Rig with like 4 Cores so will be interesting to see. currently average about 30 to 35 FPS although the stutters happen because of AI spawning in at once etc anyway, thank you for the vid! so glad you called out the temp files and fake FPS boasting people they got me with that line of thinking till I found this.
For me to findout exactly why AI causes this much of an FPS drop i'd need to know about coding which i do not so theres no real way i'd be-able to give an indepth analysis on why AI causes so much issues, only possible solution is to get the GPU to assist in the handling of AI data but idk exactly how all that works. What 1050ti and 4 core cpu do you have so i can look at the specs of them? don't forget RAM is extremely important aswell. You should be getting way more than 35fps despite it being a 1050ti it's still most likely a 4gb vram card right? the 4 core might be an issue if it's an extremely older one but do try the virtual memory and other tweaks i've shown and let me know if you still have issues. i will be doing a video in the future going through every single in-game setting and tweak out there 1 by 1 to see just how much they actually impact performance and the difference in usages which will be curious.
@@ThatBritishGuy Looking forward to that vid! As to more specific specs, Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU 2.80GHz 2808 Mhz to be exact. Also I should have clarified, My FPS varies sometimes I get 40 to 45 FPS on certain maps Ie Factory and Labs, but on Customs it'll tank when bots spawn. Woods is sometimes the same but is generally stable. Shoreline is more stable then Customs funny enough. Lighthouse haven't tested, and Reserve is the most unstable ie tanking. Main issue is my FPS isn't consistent and drops like a rock sometimes, then booasts back up the next. It's weird. And it is indeed connected to AI because offline I get a stable 60 or more ez much like in your vid. I did your changes and got a boost to 50-59 FPS in menu. Will try in raid next.
i7-7700HQ im assuming you're running on a laptop with that CPU since it's a mobile chip that's part of your issue since mobile chips have a lower base clock, that CPU should boost 3.8ghz single core and 3.5/3.6ghz all core, the 2.80ghz is only the base clock speed having a slower clock speed will be the cause of your lacking in FPS. Your cpu also has hyperthreading since it's an i7, 4 cores but 8 threads, the extra threads might help your stuttering and stability issues if it's even enabled. If you are on a laptop that means that GPU will be switching between integrated and dedicated most likely due to power features of laptops, you'll have to tell windows to use your 1050ti when playing tarkov if it's not using it already.
Todo the gpu select you don't use process lasso that's for priority selection and core selection., to select what GPU to use for an application you right click the desktop, go to display settings scroll all the way down you'll see a "graphics settings" part click that and add escapefromtarkov.exe then hit options and select your performance GPU which should be ladled "1050ti" goodluck brotha.
I have 32 gb of ram, a rx 6700xt and a ryzen 5800x. My game runs smooth on tarkov but once i start shooting, it stutters like crazy and i cant full auto my weapons
Someone has come to me with this issue prior, try using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and removing Intel, Nvidia and AMD drivers every single one even if you've never had any installed b4, then install a fresh copy of the required driver, that fixed it for him.
Bruh idk why i recently build a new pc with an 3060ti and an i9 - 9700f and 32gb of ddr4 ram and my game still runs like shit and only tarkov all the other games work fine
doesn't matter what PC you have tarkov will always run like crap because it's optimised EXTREMELY badly. wait for the next technical patch on the road map which is the upgraded engine and performance optimisations for and i quote "big improvements to fps" hopefully we get lucky.
I used nvidia's shadowplay recording (NVENC) to capture the gameplay at 40k bitrate then used vpro for rendering ect. Nvidia's shadowplay/recording overlay has little to 0 impact on a games performance but it does consume some vram. Not the best quality but OBS Studio refused to hook into tarkov.
I have not tried this in-game yet. I also have a 1060 3gb and ryzen5 2600 8GB ram. I am very hopeful though Update: I optimized Tarkov through Nvidia geforce experience. I just did the "Optimal" setting and now my game works wonders! I have very stable fps, 50-70 fps on customs!
8gb is ram is rough but can be playable it just requires you to restart your game more often due to memory leaks, there is a clip on my channel of me playing on this same hardware except with 8gb ram instead of 16gb also on interchange instead of customs. interchange atm though has a weird FPS bug which i think has something todo with killa im not sure.
@@ThatBritishGuy I believe your guide gave me some stability. Before I followed your guide I did a "fix" from a guy called "Panjoo" or something and it boosted my frames with about 30! But after I restarted my PC my fps was lower than ever before. Not sure why.
Yeah i've followed some of panjoo's guides some of them can be alright but majority of them are the standard stuff theres a better guy with better more indepth guides to follow called "fr33thy" www.youtube.com/@FR33THY check him out his channel is super solid and shows proof aswell.
Nothing you’ve done on the video fixed my issues. Bought 128 gigs of ram because I was tired of trying everything I was seing online, fixed all my issues
@@ThatBritishGuyrelax man, i’m not saying your advice didn’t work for other people. But as you said it’s often a you problem with this game. My RAM was always full after one hour of playing. I’ve tried literally EVERYTHING to fix the memory leaks issues. It’s just to show how stupid and badly coded this game is. Yes it’s stupid, but it worked fantastically 🤷🏻♂️
Hey man, great video. Thanks for explaining everything clearly. So I just ordered a new pc mostly to play Tarkov, it has I5 12400F, 3060Ti and 16 gigs of 3200mhz ram. Do you think an upgrade to 32 gigs is worth it in my case, or will I be just fine with a page file?
thanks for commenting! That depends on your funding and how committed you are to tarkov, if you can afford the 32gigs of ram then it's worth it, if you plan to play alot of the newer maps on tarkov then the more ram the better since pagefile will always be slower than real memory just make sure you're running the ram in duel channel and on the XMP profile otherwise it won't perform well.
Holy shit. I’ve been trying to fix this issue for days. My game has never stuttered before this wipe but after it would stutter every other second. After this video my game is running smoother than it ever has.
@@BlooS3 This might seem like a bad answer but don't play streets not yet anyway wait til it gets optimised first it's just not worth the trouble to try play it. if you're dead set on playing streets then if it's freezing at "awaiting session start" then it's most likely you're run out of memory. are you on a HDD or SSD also how much ram do you have?
Hey man ever since ive done this It has helped with my stuttering quite a bit, but now recently ive blue screened like 3 times in the last 24 hours... Any idea why?
As said in the pinned comment, if you're bluescreening which should never happen it's most likley due to you setting a pagefile size bigger than your available space on that drive which then causes allocation issues. if you've set 20gb of pagefile that's 20gb of actual drive space, if you've installed files apps ect that take up that space then it will crash. worst case to identify your issue you can set pagefile back to default and see if it still crashes if it does then pagefile isn't the cause. what was the bluescreen error code?
@@ThatBritishGuy What you've described was likely the issue, I had a feeling that might of been it, I had very little space left on my drive. I've since cleared up a large amount of space although haven't played since so I'm not sure if its fixed The error code was kernel mode heap corruption
@@ThatBritishGuy Well I freed up a lot of space on my SSD however I still am very commonly blue screening, id say once every maybe hour or two, only happens when i've been playing tarkov for a while ive noticed. Not sure what to do to fix it, any ideas? Also although I stutter very infrequently on maps since doing these changes, maps like lighthouse and interchange are still very stuttery and streets is nearly unplayable, 75% of the time kicking me out before I can even load into it, and when im in its just a stutter-fest, do you have any possible insights on solutions to make it like, less-bad? [Edit] As it would seem I blue screen about every other raid when it comes to streets of tarkov, its like the more intensive the gameplay the faster it comes
Great video man, i did everything except for the msi afterburner becasue i have Gigabyte. Streets runs a lot better but its still pretty much unplayable. Guess ill just have to wait for them to optimize it. Still dont understand how people can play streets, pretty annoying lol
Yeah streets is basically unplayable unless you have a NASA PC that'll cost you an arm, leg and a lung the logical choice is to just wait for it to get sorted out, typical BSG causing issues with every content update. MSI Afterburner can be used with any GPU(Nvidia & AMD) and any Brand of GPU(EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, ASUS, ZOTAC, ect) it doesn't have to be MSI.
@@bigdawg4162 Thanks for subbing, hopefully it helps your issue you can also turn off binaural audio as that's been known to cause issues this wipe aswell.
i have a minor problem.. last week was everything fine but for the last two days i literally cant join the raid or if i can join one, it stutters to the point that my whole computer freezes.. every game works fine. oh and also the hideout runs smoothly
Going to try this when I get home. Least tech savvy person alive… btw I spawn in and my game will just freeze and unfreeze or certain interactions freeze it and unfreeze Hopefully this fixed the issue
Makes sure you're not trying to play tarkov on a mechanical hard drive. This fix can't perform miracles it will work for some and not for others highly dependent on the persons pc, alot of people have had success doing this so hopefully it fixes your issue aswell.
@ThatBritishGuy what would you recommend setting the initial paging file size and and maximum size for me. I have 24 gigs of ram and don’t know exactly what to set it at.
RTX 3070ti Ryzen 7 5800x3d average FPS on Streets 150-170fps no overclocking 120fps while streaming my GPU CPU load around 60% that smoothenes broo insane
So I have 8 gb ram. And I can play the game. Just have mild stutters/freezes from time to time. I can load lighthouse, reserve, factory, all them. But my game will NOT load Streets, or interchange. It has a rough time. The “loading map” and “loading loot” time takes about 6 mins a piece, so around 12-13 mins to load into a game for those maps. I ordered more RAM, hopefully that helps
8GB is defo borderline but it's interesting to me that interchange loads slower than lighthouse for you, interchange on 8GB loaded fine for me strange. upgrading will help a TON and you'll defo notice a difference also make sure you're running on an SSD both OS and the game.
@@ThatBritishGuy yeah it’s weird lol. Pisses me off too man. I don’t lose frames in gunfights, or when grenades go off, or when it’s raining on certain maps. But streets and interchange damn near blow up my pc if one shot rings out. That’s if I can load in. I do have an NvMe ssd, just a 500 though. I thought about upgrading that too.
@@quallex9660 I have 16gb and used the values he had set for the ram, so 8000, and 16000. As far as MIP streaming I maxed it out. Went from 50fps to 100fps.
@@quallex9660 Try not to get your hopes up my video was never intended to gain fps that is just a bonus, it was only designed to smoothen your fps to make what you have currently playable. ONLY set his values if you have the space on your SSD for those values, pagefiling uses your storage space as "fake ram" basically it's slower but stops crashing and stops stuttering but only if used on an SSD not a HDD.
Mate!!!!! You absolute belter 😂 I’m new to pc and my game was stuttering like crazy every 2 seconds, thought it was my internet or audio or something crazy hahah i can play now, nearly threw this pc out the window 😂 if I ever have a son he’s getting named after u
Glad i could help you m8 nothing is more frustrating than getting a new PC and it doesn't work right, enjoy tarkov and goodluck in the upcoming wipe! Welcome to PC Gaming!!!
This wipe has been really bad for frames, BSG installed a hotfix yesterday which for me personally helped a bit, you should be getting more than 30-40fps on reserve that seems super low, try turning off binaural audio that has been known this wipe to cause fps issues and other buggy problems on some systems. What settings are you running at?
@@ThatBritishGuy tried binaural does nothing, yesterday evening I was playing on a solid 45/60 fps on woods just by disabling windows defender for the tarkov folder, and also I noticed that discord for me eats frames so make sure that is minimized
@@ThatBritishGuy high textures low shadows, I tried medium graphics but doesn’t change Also the ram usage is pretty low, like 40% and cpu is high usage, maybe because it’s a quad core
@@ThatBritishGuy the thing is that 2 years ago it was running super smoothly so I’m hoping for a fix from bsg (renewing my pc it’s an option and I will do it in the next months)
@@alexxxone i mean the quad core is weak but it is a 7th gen not that bad, it is a K variant maybe overclock it, 3.8base 4.2boost maybe you set it to 4.2 all core that'll help it out since it's all core will only be 4.0 and 4.2 on a single core. it should be stable at 4.2 all core since that's boost clock anyway aslong as you have temp headroom. 1060 6gb is decent but the high even medium textures is rough on vram use mip streaming alongside low/medium textures NEVER use high textures not on a 1060 anyway, even on low textures mip streaming on my 3gb model im always bouncing off the 3gb vram limit, you can use rivertuner OSD to watch your limits.
I tried all of this after reading the comments, my main issue has been stuttering and freezing happening at any time during a raid and especially when in combat. I run 16gbs of ram and set my ssd page file to your specifications, now it seems worse than before I enabled anything. Do you have any advice?
Yeah i do miss the legend in 1080p, he's been gone for years now he does appear in some of sada's content but his own channel is just abandoned, glad you recognised it you're the 3rd person to notice it so far.
Glad i could help, i pride myself on not being the typical copy cat person i know how annoying it is for every video to be the same view farming solutions.
All good, tarkov ran like never before on my rig, smooth frames 0 stutter, for real.. 0 like wtf.. right? Until it came back even tho pagefile was 20 or 30 or 50 or 70 i tried, it came back but what seemed to fix it was rebooting the whole PC soo... whats up with that?
finally someone said the truth ! Trolls are all over the web now ... talking crap on forums " helping" gamers stating that its their rigs fault but the game runs sh*t ... its the games fault
Straight facts, on a real note it's the games fault to an extent, im not going to denie the fact my PC is stupidly under-powered for tarkov but those with 8th gen or higher CPU's, 16gb ram and 1080's or newer GPU's are perfectly fine for tarkov it's just BSG's trash optimisation and poor decision making.
@@ThatBritishGuy look mate...i will be honest i have 10900k and 3080ti but slowly im starting to realise... that the games these days are labeled as early access or beta alpha bla bla ..because the devs are lazy to code/optimize their games properly ... Tarkov is not running good for me tbh even if i have this rig . With ais on the map i get around 85 fps avarage .. Which is not bad , dont get me wrong im happy .... but could be better imo . Also had stutters... a lot . Too everyone out there ... u will get small fps dips here and there because the ai spawning anyway so ... dont waste your money on expensive rigs for tarkov . Same goes for Arma 3. lags when ai spawning in , also units on map eating away your fps ... 🤷
@@Mattdeath25 Finally someone else that remembers ArmA's poor performance no matter the hardware, you're right they do use "beta/alpha/early access" as an excuse to not fix issues, that's what DayZ Standalone did until full release and a port to a better engine fixed performance but in the end that was too late, BSG will make the same mistake by waiting too late to fix the issues. 80fps is perfectly fine have you ever considered using rivertuners driver based limiter to help with stutters, it will not FIX stutters but it can make them less noticable, a smooth 60 is better than a stuttery mess 80 or just deal with the stutters until BSG actually does something.
@@ThatBritishGuy yeah i tried to limit my fps .. maan i tried everything u can imagine ... so for example i have a 165 fps monitor ( dont ask me why because i dont reach that fps in the most cases as im playing high and ultra but mostly on 1080p ) and i tried to lower the hz to 85 ... to 60 hz ... Yes i had less microlags/stutters but its soooo annoying . You know whats the most annoying thing : spending too much money on a rig that wont get you the performance u wish for . Do u have any opinions on Scum ???
@@Mattdeath25 Yeah it's a dead game that was hyped up by streamers then dropped hard af and never spoken of again. all seriousness never played it so i can't give an honest opinion. side note lowering your monitors refresh-rate does not change your in-games FPS and does absolutely nothing to your actual game, the monitors "fps" as you call it is actually the monitors refresh-rate speed, the only way that would change your fps is if you used vsync or something similar which i advise against. limited your monitors hz and limiting your fps are 2 different things entirely.
Well. I guess I'm not going to play Tarkov for however many years it takes them to fix performance (if they ever get around to it before the game dies). Your point about newer hardware and diminishing performance returns because of horrible coding is absolutely correct. Nothing can fix this issue but the developers themselves, and it's truly a shame. I love Tarkov, but it's just not worth it to be honest.
theres a dude i know who's playing on 32GB of ram, i9 11900k and a 4090 and he gets 40-60fps on streets and hardly reaches 90-100 on other maps, the game just isn't well optimised at all and it's a shame.
General rule of thumb is 1.5x your amount of memory but considering you've got 32GB you shouldn't really need that big of a pagefile, anywhere near the 20000/30000 mark that's what BSG recommended when the game had memory leak and issues so try that you can tinker with it and fine tune it for your personal system needs.
@@ThatBritishGuy Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, nothing is fixed for me, i still have a lot of stutters / freezes after setting the paging size at 20000 min 30000 max
@@MrGrayFFox someone might have already told you but try turning off binaural audio, it's be causing nothing but trouble this patch maybe that's your issue.
@@MrGrayFFox Yeah i guess you'll have to wait 6 years for BSG to fix issues... sorry i couldn't help you fix your issue hope you manage to get it sorted, if you figure out the issue let me know!
This video blew my mind, I never thought about making my frames manageable vs trying to increase performence. LOVED this video! My only question is when adjusting virtual memory do I need to select the drive the game is installed on or is it on the drive that has windows installed?
It doesn't matter which drive it's put on aslong as and this is important it's set to an SSD and NOT a HDD, if you put pagefile on a HDD it will cause extreme stuttering and lag and trust me you do not want that. There will be an up-coming follow up video showing the differences between pagefile off, pagefile set too low, pagefile on SSD vs HDD and pagefile on an external drive.
@@ThatBritishGuy Ok, same question: I have Windows install on C drive, but Tarkov game is on G drive. Page files are enabled only on the C drive. Do I have to enable it on the G drive too? Thank you for your vid!! :)
@@EmiMartinezAdrian Only enabled pagefiles on an SSD it doesn't matter which SSD it's enabled on it just has to be on an SSD doesn't need to be on both.
I did the file paging size thing just as you said but after a few perfect raids it blue screened on streets 2 times so that file paging is kinda suspicious at least for 20000
i've been using it for ages and it works perfectly for me, pagefiling is using your hard-drive/solid state drive(Storage) as virtual ram prior to you changing it, it still was being used just not that much available space, make sure it's on an SSD and that you have plenty of storage space for it to begin with. you can turn it off if you want or back to auto but disabling it will cause alot more issues and setting it to auto will let windows choose how much you need, as shown in the video the BSG devs them selves recommended this fix so it can't be "suspicious" plus i shown you in the video gameplay of me using it and a rivertuner overlay showing the exact mb pagefile amount too, must be something you're doing wrong or something you've personally incorrectly setup.
@@TheIbrahim711 make sure you're not setting a pagefile size bigger than the amount of storage space you actually have. also make sure you did infact set the correct size and not too little. all pagefile does is use your SSD/HDD as fake ram basically it doesn't do anything else besides read and write from your drive that's it which means it needs the size you set available on the drive for it to work. if you set 20000(20,000) that equals to 20GB which means you'll need atleast 25GB of free space on that specific drive otherwise it'll just bluescreen cus well it can't allocate space that it doesn't have.
i have watched hundreds of hours and thousands of $ in new parts and you just solved my god damn mf problem by telling me i dont have an ssd i didnt even realize there was a slot for that
With 8 GB of ram every map is pretty playable like on Customs you can have 40-55 fps. Not good but playable, trust me. Same goes for the Lighthouse, for some reason this map is more stable than customs. Also try disabling mip streaming next time because shit mostly the cause of frame drops and freezing. I know how the game works both on GTX1650Ti, I59300(ish) and 8 gb ram and rtx3070TI with 32gb of ram(don't remember the cpu). Mip streaming is just garbage
I have videos running with 8GB ram, it is playable but i found its only playable without stutters if you restart the game either between maps or after 2-3 raids of the same map otherwise it causes massive stutters and load-time issues. MIP Streaming works perfectly for me, it had bugs awhile ago but works fine personally for me.
I think I should marathon all maps with and without mip streaming to find out how it works on my computer with 8 GB of ram and which settings are the best. Anyway, great video with great in depth explanation. 👍
@@cheeseman1223 Thanks, i think MIP Streaming is just dependent on the PC some settings work and some don't it's weird, maybe i should also do that aswell change every setting individually and see just how much of a performance difference each setting shows, would be interesting to see it from your hardware aswell if you plan todo it. i'd just had enough of all the fakers spreading missinformation about "how to improve fps by clearing temp files and adjust for best performance" then showing fake results.
@@ThatBritishGuy I definitely will try different settings on all maps. There's nothing interesting to do in pre-wipe lobbies anyway. The main issue might be the events, because there's only one place of interest on each map so imo this may affect positively on performance in online. Still worth trying to do it anyway today and after wipe I think. I'll start with lighthouse and run it twice with and without mip streaming and probably will turn on and off some settings to see how it goes. So it will be 4-6 runs on every map. I'll keep you in touch
@@ThatBritishGuy Well I played on Lighthouse,Shoreline several times and 2 times on the Forest with mip streaming turned on and off. Gotta say I played with every setting set to minimum or off completly except I had FXAA turned on.Later I found out that anisotropic filtering boost perfomance and add 1-2 fps or at least making everything smoother and more playable. GTX1650 TI, Intel core i59300H, 8 gb of ram and game is on ssd. Lighthouse with mip off is pretty much stable 40 fps with some drops to 30. Gunfight went pretty smooth, managed to kill some people and bots while someone bombing players from USEC's base. With mip on just stable 30 fps with some freezing while shooting. Pretty uncomfortable but still managed to raid Usec's base and got out alive. It took about 3 minutes to get into match(mostly cause the search time) with and without mip streaming. With mip streaming turned on it took longer to get out of match. Very playable without mip streaming. Shoreline was more unstable than Lighthouse. with mip set to off it was 30 fps with drops to 20 but then it was increased to 40 with some freezes when started to shoot. I only managed to play once so I think I should get more tests. With mip streaming just 30 fps with some drops to 25. I was just running, didn't even manage to shoot but still horrible expirience. Took 4 minutes to get in. Still need more tests I think. Forest is pretty playable with stable 40-35 fps. Played it twice without mip streaming. On the second run it was raining so fps significantly droped to 20 and incereased to 40 as it stopped. Hope it was interesting to read or at least you got some useful information. Still have to do many runs before wipe to find settings to be comfortable with
You have half my frames but it looks like the game runs twice as good, I'll be at 100 fps all the time yet my average sits around 58 from all the stutters. I've been using page file size and it doesn't do anything on my am5/ddr5 system but I'm gonna grab lasso and see if that can help me out. I ended up resetting my computer today and it didn't do anything I still stuttered and crashed
This new update has fucked almost every map for me it pisses me off. Almost everyone I come across in game says the same thing. Streets is unplayable I have to look at my feet in order to get like 15 frames
Holy yours is that bad!? i can get 45-50fps on streets what is your system specs? also it's not in the video because it was prior to the patch update but turn of the binaural audio, it's been known to cause frame drops and stability issues within the game if people haven't told you yet.
@@ThatBritishGuy my specs are fine besides my shitted out hard drive, last wipe i had issues on big maps but was still mostly playable (besides interchange pmc) but this new one has fucked even lighthouse scavving. Im sure once i get a ssd i should be able to play a lot better but still ive come across people lagging their tits off.
@@asskillme545 Yeah tons of people this wipe even with 32gb ram and an SSD still get lag issues but an SSD will definitely help. if you feel like trying something unique you could "short stroke" your HDD it's an old technique used back in the day, it's better if you watch linus tech tips video on short stroking for a better explanation than what i can give but basically you partition your drive for less space so you're only using the faster part of your HDD but in return you lose that extra space and can't use it.
@@ThatBritishGuy appreciate the advice but this old girl is too old for any sort of fuckery, when i hear a noise coming out of my pc i give it a smack until it goes away like an old italian man and his wife
@@ThatBritishGuy i bought a ssd but its not my c drive, my hard drive is. I switched my tarkov folder location to the ssd but should i get my operating system on it too? As of late my game seizes on itself, especially in gunfights and it gets me killed. Also kinda a side note, when im scoped in, the whole sight picture is significantly darker then unscoped. this causes issues during night raids, i can see the fuckers decent at a range but i scoped in and i cant see shit. Ive fiddled with postfx but it hasnt done much. Could it be a graphical setting that i need to change?
Yeah i've been having issues on the most recent wipe/patch the frames have been insanely bad and inconsistent compared to last patch, i wish you the best of luck with your fps if i figure something else out i'll post it.
i have 64gb of ram, would the virtual memory be initial size (MB) 20000 Maximum size: 20000? I upgraded gpu from a 1050Ti to a RX6600 ever since, anytime a player gets in my screen it skips HARD CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Motherboard: b550-M of course tarkov is on a 2TB M.2
Hey, thank you for the video! It looks very promising! I have the exact same PC specs as you but when I go to my system properties, my CPU shows 3.40 GHz in the same position where it shows 3.90 GHz for you. You call it "boost". Does it make a difference or will I be able to run Tarkov with a similar performance as you? Thank you!
if you have the exact same CPU as me except yours shows 3.4 and not 3.9 single 3.7all core then you won't get the same performance as me, boost gives slightly higher clock speed all core which helps with cpu intensive situations to enable turbo boost you can go into the BIOS and look for an option called "Intel Turbo Boost" and enable that if you wish to not enable turbo boost you can just leave it off it as it's only 300mhz extra clock speed that you'll get since 3.9 is only on a single cpu core and during games it'll only be 3.7.
Im getting 45-55fps on customs in offline raid while AI's are enabled, without AI 70. Using your settings. Intel i5 7400k RTX 3060 12gb 16gb ram 3200mhz.
hmm you should get more of an fps boost than 70 with bots disabled, something isn't setup correctly with your PC for your frames to be that low in an empty raid. Look up on youtube your system specs on tarkov there will be a few benchmarks showing what performance you should be getting and expect to get.
sorry for the late reply i was dealing with a big issue of mine. are you using an SSD and ofc have binurial audio turned off? is that 16gb ram a single stick or duel stick if it's a duel stick are you running in duel channel mode and ofc on XMP. is tarkov installed on that SSD alongside the pagefile?
I had the same problem like that i7 guy i was upgrading GPU only all the time ,and never my i7 8700,its playable but its not optimal you feel big fps drops in fire fight cause my 2070 was to strong for i7 8700. Now i upgraded to 3070 and i5 13600k and my fps drops under 90 only on interchange in the middle watching thru scope online raid.
What can happen is if your system is unbalanced aka gpu stronger than cpu then your gpu will be under utilised which if not setup will then run in a lower power state and/or not boosting causing the super bad fps.
like so many else that comes here, THANKS SO MUCH MY GUY! i thought i was gonna have to upgrade my whole pc, but i just bought an m2 ssd and installed tarkov on, and did some minor tuning like u showed here, and my god, it's a completely new game! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I mean it was not playable b4, and now, it is super smooth, still a Little bit stuttering but i guess i can not get rid of that completely, but now, it is accually enjoyable again,. i run an i7-6700k and an 2070super and 16 gigs ram. and now on lighthouse i put out around 70-100 fps
Yep and just like so many you've proving that it IS possible to get that kind of FPS on 6th gen 7th gen and 8th gen CPU's, the minor stuttering you get is just part of tarkov sadly, that m.2 will help a TON, glad it's working perfectly for you, catch you in raid my man!!! goodluck with quest items!!!
Yeah 720p isn't exactly ideal, if you plan to play at lower resolutions enable nvidias NIS(Nvidia Image Scaling) you run at a lower native resolution and it upscales the resolution and sharpens the image for you while keeping the same performance gains as native 720p. what do you run at now?
Honestly it's best to test it yourself, every CPU, application and PC handles things differently so try it on and try it off whatever offers you better performance and consistency but make sure you use process lassos todo it, the in-game option can be a little wonky and sometimes not work correctly if at all.

90 fps doesnt bother me but i literally cannot play the game because of stutters. Literally every time someone shoots at me or in general my game stutters which makes every single pvp or pve fight an automatic loss. the game for me is literally unplayable
@@BerserkGoat Happens me the same, any solution yet?
My game went from unplayable to the smoothest ive ever felt it in the last 2 years i played i could not be in a single fight without lagging i followed so many other peoples guides i even upgraded my CPU and i was still stuttering constantly, some of the steps you showed in this video were things that ive never seen people even talk about when it came to combat stuttering. Now i can actually enjoy the game your invited to my wedding cheers mate.
Ayeee I'm glad I could help man, enjoy your smooth fights 2 years for a fix that must of been frustrating there's so many useless videos on yt ATM.
Happy raids! Goodluck item questing!
@Offisianシ At what point has youtube "removed dislikes" from my channel if that's what you're saying, theres no such thing as removing dislikes and it's DEFINITLY not a thing for youtube todo it on some no-name no sub channel like mine.
Does it still work? 🤔
I played around with the settings you mentioned and it's helped so much. Better than all the "optimization" videos out there.
glad i could help ya, hopefully you have an enjoyable time as said my video was never ment to "improve fps" it was more so how to make your current fps stable, most of these "optimization guides" are all the same wannabe bs copy cat videos just to rake in views and 90% of the time are useless and do nothing in todays age of hardware.
A year later and you're still helping people out! My game was close to unplayable after the new patch, everytime I got into a firefight the game would freeze. Your tips improved it MUCH more, I still get an occasional stutter but it's NOTHING compared to before. So thanks brother, for real 💪🏻
ayee glad i could help yet another person, hope you're enjoying the wipe so far it's been an interesting one that's for sure.
After a year, this still works! Thank you so much, I was afraid I'd never be able to play tarkov because of how much it froze or stuttered.
Glad i could help!!!
Just wanted to come back by and say thanks because Tarkov was driving me nuts! My frametime graph looked like a saw blade every few seconds with a 13900k/4090. I think the CPU lasso and MIP streaming settings helped the most and now it's smooth as glass.
Glad i could help and finally you can now enjoy tarkov if that's even possible haha appreciate you coming back and commenting!
Heres hoping the new unity engine upgrade will actually fix majority of tarkovs issues.
I cant actually believe this, my game went from unplayable to the smoothest gameplay i ever felt THIS IS AMAZING MAN. You are a legend! THANKS THANKS. i watched almost 6 "optimization" videos and none of them make the game smoother. When i found this one i was hopeless haha
Greetings from argentina!!!
glad i could help! majority of todays "optimization" videos is all the same bs "clean temp files, adjust for best performances, change game exe compatibility mode" basically majority of it is useless, some of it is useful for people who've had the same windows install for years and is filled with junk files but doesn't really help with FPS.
@@ThatBritishGuyI’m glad you got these bots repeating the same thing to thank you
youre litterally a hero for this video this fixed all the issues ive been having in Tarkov. Thank you so much for this!
Glad I could help, happy raids and goodluck questing!
i love dudes whom know what theyre talkin about. Like you disregard the classic tutorials on fixing issues and take your time to share expertise. Thankyou
Great to know im helping people out, hopefully you enjoy your raids and best of luck question, you can sip this below if you're not interested but if you are enjoy!
i personally wouldn't say i know exactly what im talking about but i do know from experience what has worked and not worked for me over the years XD just sharing that with people who need it.
the classic "clear temp, power mode, ect" that stuff can help but only on specific systems for example a PC/Laptop with duel GPU's maybe 1 for spare monitors or iGPU if power mode isn't setup it'll automatically choose a GPU and in some cases it'll choose the weaker GPU resulting in poor performance.
The temp file thing is good if you've kept the same windows for years without general maintenance although with todays age of SSD's theres no such thing as "fragmentation" anymore on a mechanical drive since not many people use them anymore so it's another useless tip for fps only good for saving space these days.
The "adjust for best performance" option people do used to work wonders for windows 7 and older because it disabled the transparency and "aero" effect which hogged GPU power back in the day that does nothing in windows 10 so again a useless tip to give for fps.
The absolute best thing when it comes to gaining FPS is what i've shown you & stripping/debloating windows off all the junk that way nothing is hogging power.
@@ThatBritishGuy thanks man. In general, the tips and advice given wont just help with tarkov but help our other games aswell. Like tarkov is so weird in optimisation. The mip streaming even though our computers are essentially 1:1 (although you have 2g vram and 0.2 Ghz more cpu base freq then me) [tdlr: i have 1050ti and i5-7400] is not helping me even though you suggested. Your guide ironically made me get frames i shoulda had since i remember this performance being had 4 wipes ago but i do know i can play games like fucking terraria or Pac-Man at frames i really dont need XD. Thankyou again and i think ive reached thr limit to optimisation. I *WILL* link this vid and maybe even the river tuner one (though that doesnt inc performance just stabilizes it as you mentioned) to peeps on discord whom need it.
For anyone having bad FPS/Stuttering with the Streets update try turning Off Binaural Audio. I don't know why but I know for me it gave me about a 15-20FPS boost when I did.
Facts, I did put that in the description cus this video was made before the streets patch.
can confirm it helps a bit . It helped also with previous versions . ( especially with SP Tarkov )
Thx for the guide man. My setup is not that bad but after Streets of Tarkov launch i was just not able to play there because of serious stutters. Your solutions made the stutters go away. Even if my framarate on this map varies from 45 to 80, the transitions are smooth enough for me to not to be killed because of it. I had fights with hard fps drops and i was still in control. On the rest of the maps the drops are now barely noticable and there is no hard stutters. I tested this in other games too and it works great. For example in Assetto Corsa Competizione, split second stutter may be the difference betwen you making the corner and going offtrack or hitting somebody. In this game still there are hard stutters if someone joins the server during the race but i play on the servers where is no mid-session join. Thx a lot! None of the guides from the internet did that for me. I had of course significant framerate increases but the stutters were so annoying.
Im glad i could help you solve majority of your hard freezing during fights or running around, you should look at my latest video about frametimes to smoothen out your frametimes and make the game more consistent if you wish or if you're happy with what you've got then happy raids.
wish you the best of luck for quest items in raid!!! have fun see you in there!
Gonna try this later, hopefully it actually does something unlike the 40 other optimaztions ive done that havent helped
Edit: I actually love you holy shit the performance boost is insane, get quite a lot more fps on lighthouse and minimal to no stutters which was a huge issue for me before. Thank you
glad i could help, those other "optimizations" videos are all fake these days, back on windows vista and windows 7 when you could control the aero and visual effects of windows it worked amazingly but todays windows you have no control over the visuals so it's useless.
this video is primarily just for stuttering but if you gained frames then that's a bonus, have fun in tarky!
@@ThatBritishGuy im getting on average 20+ more frames now, thanks homie :)
Same here.
Thanks for the video, this is one of the first videos about video game setting optimization that doesn't cover the same exact Windows settings that every other video does.
I have a i7-2600 in an old Optiplex 990, 20GB of RAM (2x8GB, 2x2GB), a MSI 1050ti LP (+150core +450mem), and a 512GB SSD + 3x1TB HDDs.
I started playing a few months ago and my framerate was alright with no stutters, and while I still suck at PVP I was able to flick a few scavs.
With the new update my framerate was completely bork'd and I was stuttering like hell, I gave up playing after wipe day because my frametimes + server issues made the game unbearable.
After giving the game another go today I still had the same issues, so I luckily found your videos and went from a stuttery 20fps to a smooth 30-45fps (45fps during clear weather in Woods, 30 during the rain in Reserve)
It's insane how un-optimized this game is, I mean, with how few AI exist in the game world, yet they take up damn near 30-40% of your framerate just to compute.
Another interesting thing is how the wrong audio settings/implementations can cause severe stuttering. In Tarkov having binaural audio enabled causes stutters, in Discord having my VoiceMeeter audio device set as default will cause audio stuttering, and while using Oculus Link to my Quest 2, if the audio setting isnt set to "default" in the Oculus app, I get stutters in VR.
Yeah this game is insanely bad optimised for how small the maps are compared to other games with AI, they'd definitely borked the coding completely and instead of fixing it they just keep piling code ontop of already broken code, it needs to be redone from ground up to fix the issues they have.
Omfg, thank you so much!! Tarkov became unplayable somehow on my laptop this last month or so. It would stutter every second. I was just about to give up on it. Now I can indulge in my loot gambling addiction. Thank you, sir!
glad i could help you out, enjoy your loot gambling addiction haha, hopefully the wipe will be a decent one!
see you in the raids!
@@ThatBritishGuy I'll be the guy whiffing all my shots. GL in the raids! 😁
ryzen 5600g, rx 6600 xt, 32 gigs, ssd, i usua;ly got 110 fps in a raid but whenever I shot an auto gun it would go down to about 4 but this saved me thank you i got this game today and can finally enjoy it.
glad you can finally enjoy it! happy raids and best of luck with your quests!
Thank you so much man!! I already had next 16gb ram in shoping cart 🤦🏼♂️ ofcourse, now is game running 100% smoother and streets are now finally playeble... vram changed everything. I have 3 discs, 2 ssd and one old hdd as backup for photos and etc.. ofc genius windows alocated vram space on this HDD 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ So i changed it to the ssd and everything works great! Thx!!!
glad i could help!! enjoy tarkov maybe i'll catch you in a raid haha!!
Before, everything was fine, stable FPS without lags and anything else, I just play normally. But at one point (I still didn’t understand why), I started having fierce freezes and they happen exactly when an icon pops up in the upper right corner as if the server wants to kick me out, that is, a crossed connection and it is at this moment that the freezes begin. I tried many ways from different people, but I still didn’t understand how to fix it) In addition to this, after raids, an error almost always pops up when items do not want to move in the warehouse, and an error pops up with the opposite something there (I don’t remember, I just immediately re-enter game). And this combination does not allow me to play calmly, but there are moments when you sit and wait for these freezes to pass, but it can come out in very unpleasant moments of the game.
Been happening to me this week did you find a fix?
@@claytontomek9406 yep, reload tarkov graphic settings
Appreciate the advice, you are so right I was just talking about this on Reddit the other days since this patch 13 the performance is has gotten worse on all maps, I don't know how ppl justify just constantly throwing money at the problem for a single game, and the amount of click bait for ppl that are struggling is ridiculous. If I need 64 gigs of ddr5, i9 clocked at 6ghz, and a 4090 to play a game, the game probably shouldn't be played.. this guide definitely is the most logical approach I've seen recently that fits what solutions I'm looking for I just want stable frames I'm not looking for the highest frames
Thats exactly the rant & rage chat i was going for tbh, i literally just got off reading 3-4 reddit post's of people just replying with "hey throw money at it" and it pissed me off and that's where this video came from as you can tell by the tone in my voice during the video haha.
you're absolutely right, if you gotta throw all that hardware power at a game just to pull 110-120avg then theres a problem with the game itself, from a price to performance stand-point doing it this way for stable gameplay is better than spending 1-2k on a new PC just to get higher fps, low fps in tarkov isn't as noticable as low fps in cs or valorant because of the nature of the game.
anyone who is hesitant about trying this, i got 50 frames regularly with 16gb ram 1660, 200gb ssd i5 9400f. when i used the bios overclock for dram and set the ram in the file explorer thingy i ran customs online at 90 frames basically zero jitters. and tbh, if i didnt convince you try it anyway, its only 30 mins of your time for a potential fix to the most aids game ever performance wise
Glad that i don't need to try convince anyone, the majority of the comments can speak for themselves im glad it worked for you and i appreciate you commenting trying to let people know that it is a solid fix for most people with jitter/stutter issues.
bro thank you so much i have a rtx 2060 and a amd ryzen 5 5600 6 core and 16 gigs of ram i i was experiencing stutters this video help me so much i can finnaly play this game properly and not die because of stutters thanks man keep up the good work
Nice bro ! your video memory tricks boosted up my game, i have butter smooth visuals in any scope now ! thank you bro
Bought a 5800x3d, (other speccs are 2060 and some DDR 4 Ram (16gb)) got the game up in running and still got 40 fps average and stutters + full 2 to 10 sec freezes, enabling Mip and AMD Fsr 2.1 and i am at 160 fps consistent on customs, you can imagine how happy i am by this and how pissed i was
Very appriciate, thank you :)
see a 5800x3d impulse buy doesn't always fix your issues, warning i believe interchange has a really bad memory leak atm but the other maps seem fine.
happy raids!
I like how you actually give advice and don't show some random ass settings that every person with common sense uses. I especially cringe at those youtubers that give useless advice like clearing out temp files or whatever shit others recommend, which would only work if your computer is from 1995
i mean cleaning temp files can work if you're running a HDD and if you don't maintain your PC very well but majority of people already know about that stuff anyway so theres no reason i should even mention about it as you said straight common sense stuff.
"by the time your SSD runs out you will have already upgraded or quit gaming altogether" damn, speaking the truth
Thank you! This helped my frames and made my game run smoother! I didn’t mess with the msi afterburner but everything else was super helpful!
glad i could help, hopefully the new tarkov engine update fixes tons of these performance issues.
@@ThatBritishGuy metoo I still get massive random frame drops. Its so annoying. Ill be running a solid 80 fps then randomly hit a spike below 60 for awhile. Super annoying.
man you are amazing thank you very much the only guide that really changed the game and helped me a lot, wish you everything good in life
thank you man i was pulling my hair out cos i couldnt play lighthouse and streets with my friends but this works 100% you are awesome good sir
Glad I could help, enjoy tarky with the buds!
I am so grateful for this video went from 35 frames without being able to fire my gun without dropping to 10 fps to a consistent 70 frames with no stutters just from disabling binurial audio
Yeah binaural audio is so dam bad it's insane, it wasn't in the video cus this was before the patch but it was put in the description and the few others that mentioned it in the comments.
How are you supposed to play without binaural audio? Wouldn’t you be completely unable to determine the location of sounds (100% of the time instead of just randomly when Tarkov has audio glitches)?
I tried nearly everything , i got massive stuttering , but your video helped me finally , thank you very much
Glad i could help, hope you have some fun raids!
ey thanks bro, helped me with freezing. I changed virtual initial to 8GB and max to 16 and fixed it completely, thank you.
Glad i could help, happy raiding!
@ThatBritishGuy in ur video u stated that bc the server isnt local it takes performance from your pc. That is avrually incorrect. If the server was local all of the map processing and ai movement and actions qould be processed by ur pc. Bc it is online, you actually are getting better cpu performance. But if ur network is bad. It wont matter bc that causes stuttering on its own
Secondly. Most of this game is processed on the cpu because it is server sided. All of the game except what is immediately in ur view on screen, is processed by the cpu bc it's scripts. Not high intensity graphics processing. As far as graphics tarkov isn't that high end. It's all the loot and individual items being picked up, dropped, etc. All of that is sent through the server to ur client at which time the client processes that as a script and registers it on ur end. Ur gpu isn't handling the scripts for the loot or anything that isn't graphics based. Ur gpu isn't a gaming processing unit. It's a graphics processing unit. Just bc its good at graphics doesn't mean it's good at handling scripts.
if what you just said was actually factual then why does tarkov offline run better when ran locally than when ran online with BSG's servers?
Surely if it's ran locally entirely on my end it would run worse not better since it's extra workload, i can understand what you're trying to say but if what you said is how tarkov is doing it then the performance wouldn't be that bad which is why what you said is partially wrong.
im well aware the GPU is a Graphics Processing Unit but theres still specific things the GPU can process better than the CPU that tarkov isn't utilising, GPU's have alot of things built into them besides graphics processing these days, HW Encoding, physics all that is built right into them which otherwise wouldn't of been back in the day.@@temuguy1521
The point is BSG is not using things correctly which is causing insane performance issues for everyone else, how else do you explain 4090's and 2023 CPU's struggling to perform on a game nearing 7 years old.... im sorry but when hardware from todays years struggles to run a game that's nearing a decade old then something is clearly wrong with the game itself.
Not to mention BSG forcing everything possible into RAM that could otherwise be kept on the drive, all they're doing is making extra queues and workloads between the CPU and GPU by doing that, they do little to 0 caching besides loot icons, they refuse to make AI calculations strickly server side idk what else to tell you man.
Theres games out there thats got WAAAAY more complicated AI, way more quanitity of players and way more complicated graphics and 10x the map sizes but somehow perform 20x better than tarkov.
if you got the explaination as to why these other games can do it but BSG can't then by all means go right ahead but the only answer is BSG isn't coding the game correctly and the GPU & CPU isn't being utilised correctly with the game itself. simple.
Example, Rust runs on unity just like tarkov, has AI, has 250+ players in a server with constant loot drops, constant debris flying around, animals you name it yet somehow rust manages to give you perfectly fine 200+ fps on the most low end old hardware yet tarkov on the same engine with a smaller map, less players and less AI can bearly break the 100 mark if you're lucky and you gotta own a PC with 5grands worth of GPU and CPU power? if you got the explaination please do explain it but no explaination will be good enough.
Tarkov is and will always be badly made not efficient, small maps, 10-15players max with some AI spread around walking on set paths (Not Complicated) 0 reason for the game to absolutely TANK fps strickly from AI alone.
I've been using Process Lasso for more than a year now and it used to help with performance with hyperthreading disabled, but I've noticed lately I get better performance with hyperthreading on, it could be because im using Win 11 and it has better CPU scheduling than Win 10
I still use Lasso, but I only limit Tarkov to use CPU 0-15, while limiting background apps such as Discord, Winamp, Firefox etc to E-cores 16-23
For reference my specs are:
i9-1900k (Manually overclocked all P-cores to 5.2ghz)
Asus RTX 4070Ti ROG Strix OC (Manually overclocked, runs in MSI mode)
64GB RAM with XMP @ 3600mhz
Game is installed on a M2 NVME SSD
After upgrading my RAM from 32 to 64GB, both Lighthouse and Streets runs a lot smoother, as both maps use up about 32GB of RAM, I found this to be a better solution than increasing the pagefile.
You make some good points, but even 32GB of RAM can bottleneck your performance in some maps, depending on the settings of course.
I mean yeah technically speaking adding more ram and throwing money at the problem will eventually fix it but with the new engine coming out in the next few weeks (next technical patch in the road map) which offers and i quote "massive boost's to performance" and "significantly reducing memory consumption" i feel like the 32gb of ram will turn out to be overkill aslong as BSG sticks to what they say.
the only reason maps use so much memory in tarkov is strickly due to the fact they put all the maps into memory during the "loading" phase if they just did what everone else does and leave it to load texture from the drive and just optimised textures and compression that way it'd run a ton better
Upgrading to 32gb kits isn't for everyone, not many people can do that, have funds todo that or play on ram limited specific hardware making it unsupported to use that much memory.
@@ThatBritishGuy Im not gonna say it doesnt load all maps into the RAM, but from my understanding i didnt think it did, just based on that the amount of RAM being used varies from map to map.
But the textures, shaders and such should be loaded into the Video RAM, not the RAM.
If you mean it leaks or sticks in the memory, i agree, thats why restarting the game before or after playing certain maps help.
However i dont see it using less RAM initially after the patch, but with less leakage and more optimized usage, but i may be wrong.
However, the pagefile will always be slower than actual RAM, and in my opinion you should only make games utilize the pagefile as a last resort.
i got a i910900k, 4080 and 32gb ddr4 ram on a ssd and i really dont understand how tf i cant get over 60/70 fps in online raids on large maps like lighthouse etc....even if i put my settings down it dont change at all....really dont know what to do
Ima be as bluntly honest with you as possible, no matter how much money you throw at tarkov you're not getting more than 100fps MAX on the big maps like streets and lighthouse, not even the top streamers get that fps either so dw.
with your hardware you'll wanna have some settings up otherwise that 4080 is going to be at power-saving idle mode not boosting up.
September Update from a Rando with a GTX 1660 TI 16 GB of Ram and a i7 9750H I was barely able to get above 40 FPS and your a god Dam Fucking Lifesaver now I can get 60 - 70 on interchange and the stutter Fix alone would have been Gold in my book, not only that but feels like I gave my pc a fresh overhual somehow normal operaiton feels waaaay more snappy then normal which i certainly wont complaiin about. I was talking to a takov youtuber and all he told me after i told him my specs and that i set all the graphics settings to low was to just get 32GB of Ram, and call it a day, but thank thank thank YOU for all the background info to help me understand why Tarkov was behaving the way it is. I will name my Child after YOU King
excellent video, helped heaps, just thought i'd leave a comment to boost this video in the YT algo
Cheers m8, much appreciated!
I have i3-4130 8gb of ram and GTX 750Ti and after ur video without overclocking, tarkov actually playable, loaded in as a test into Shoreline and I still have stutters for first 10-20s and game lags first time I open inventory or first time I press esc, but after that, smooth for the rest of the raid.
Another thing I use aswell is Mem Reduct program, cuz this game I think has big memory leak or something I set it on Mem Reduct to clean ram every 5min and it seems like helped aswell
I never thought I could run tarkov on such a shitty pc that well.
I think if I would upgrade ram to 2x 8gb sticks instead of 2x 4gb sticks, I would not even have problems at the start
Alot of people assume the stutters, low fps, crashing and lag spikes are due to old hardware when in reality it's due to poor game design and management of your hardware.
Glad it's finally playable and on shoreline too which had a new sky box similar to streets and a few other changes that tanks fps, 16GB of ram over 8 makes a HUUUGE difference in terms of load-times and stuttering as can be seen in my interchange test clips but being on as old of hardware you're on only do that upgrade if you happen to find a set for super cheap.
being a 750ti i highly recommend FSR or Nvidia's Image Scaling inside the control panel, tarkov uses ALOT of video memory and the 750TI will be lacking that department.
@@ThatBritishGuy Thank you gonna try out Image Scaling.
Another thing I tried Mip Streaming and it seem to help so much with stutters, but for some reason item icons takes to load in forever, super annoying for looting. Maybe you know a work around so icons would load with mip streaming?
lighthouse stuttering with r5 3600 and rtx 3060 16gb ram, trying this shit tomorrow i got excited by reading all the positive comments
i've had tons of positive comments in regards to fixing stutters using this old trick but i have had the few that's claimed it doesn't aswell so best of luck hopefully it helps you, do reply and let me know how it goes.
thank you bro
this helped a lot more then reddit ever has
Glad i could help man, happy raids and best of luck for wipe!!!
Reddit is just full of "buy more ram" or "get a better pc"
@@ThatBritishGuy sadly I fell for that and it really didn’t change much
I don’t understand people who are not satisfied with 120 fps bro my game can’t even go to stable 60 💀
Yeah idk people out here complain about getting 80fps and 100fps and theres real people out here struggling with just pushing 60fps.
if you're getting 100+ fps in tarkov then theres no reason to be googling fps tips it blows my mind, hopefully the engine upgrade road-map boosts fps "dramatically" like they say it will.
I get 40-60 😭
Pretty much incontrovertible facts you point out.
I am a professional SW engineer (for the automotive and defense industries). I love this game but there is something obviously wrong with how BSG coded 3 different areas:
- AI
- REFLEX, DLSS, latency reduction
- sound engine
I have 2 strong performance machines, one from 2021 with 40GB RAM and a 6GB VRAM card, the other from 2022, 32GB RAM, 8GB VRAM card, 10th gen and 11th gen CPUs respectively.
Tarkov runs nearly maxed out on the 2021 machine and 55 to 76 FPS with PVE engaged in offline mode.
Tarkov takes a dive into the low 40s fps with the more recent machine..
I use the same SSD on superspeed interfaces with both machines.
Same Nvidia drivers on both machines.
The only big diff is the 2021 machine has WIN10, the 2022 machine has WIN11. Both systems are very very optimized.
The exact same settings demand 6 GB RAM spikes in the 2021 machine, and 8GB RAM spikes in the 2022 machine.
Very odd.
thanks a lot for this vid, helped a lot with sortin out my fps issues
liked n subbed
I was getting really bad frames and stutters but I found lowest graphics with AMD FSR 2.1 on performance really help frame and stuttering issues for those who don’t have an SSD
Good to know, i appriciate you letting people know this might help others!
if you don't have an SSD do not use MIP Streaming just keep using FSR cus mip streaming uses your HDD/SSD to load focused textures to save on VRAM usage.
@@ThatBritishGuyThanks man this video really helped me out. Battlestate just really need to start focusing on better optimisation and bug fixes at the minute.
great info bro, was recommended this by a homie and im liking lasso alot. if u figure out anything new LET US KNOW!! :)
cheers, glad i can be of help if i do figure literally anything out i'll throw it in a video also i appreciate your homie recommending my video to people, that's lit.
Goodluck in your tarky raids!!
Hello There!
I hope you are doing very well. I share with you this problem that I have had for years and I cannot solve it.
The tarkov is super fluid for me and I have no major problems, BUT when using a scope with magnification, even if it is x2, the game freezes for 0.5 to 2 seconds. This happens at the time of aiming, then it is corrected but if I let 1 or 2 minutes pass, the screen freezes again when aiming.
My computer is as follows: Ryzen 7 5800x, 32 GB of RAM at 3200, RX 5700 XT of 8 Gb and the game is installed on an SSD, it should be noted that all the components are updated to date, including the OS which is Windows 10.
I've tried to adjust the monitor's frame rate, from the BSG launcher, I've undervolted the graphics, I've played without discord, with discord, only with tarkov, reinstall tarkov from scratch, reinstall drivers from scratch, reinstall the operating system from scratch even and nothing can fix the problem.
If you have any idea how I can fix it, I would appreciate it :c
Try using FSR, the freezing due to aiming is because tarkovs scopes are double rendered, basically means it renders the game twice which is what causes it to lag also enable any shader cache if AMD's software has that, im not familiar with AMD's software so idk what kind of options you have in there.
Make sure 10000% that any "memory cleaners" including tarkovs built in one is turned OFF, alot of "tarkov fps guides" tell you to download/enable these please do not use them they can also cause these kind of issues.
Thank you so much for that video! 🙋♂️
Glad i could help!!
Doesn't help that the game is based off of the Unity Engine. The Unity Engine is good for simple games that work for beginner game development. Not for something that BSG is trying to produce.
Yeah they made a poor choice of engine for a game like this but when they first started making tarkov the BSG Dev team was not only small but not exactly the best out there at the time, porting the game to a different engine would work but could be a huge fail if done in-correctly.
I am not sure, look at Rust, its a Unity game with big map, a lot of buildings, interaction environment, Ai etc and it is really smooth. The difference is the skill dev team.
@@orbator i remember when rust first came out it ran absolutely terrible and it took the rust dev team YEARS and multiple changes to the game to get it to work right but rust also was a MASSIVE ram hog.
BROTHER SAVED MY GAME THANK THE LORD THIS MAN IS TOP TIER
glad i could help my guy, enjoy tarky!
I have a 3950x 64gb ram and a Rtx 4080 and am getting bad screen tearing and no more the 120fps and zoom in and drops to 80 is that ok 😊
all i can say to that is Welcome To Tarkov! those framerates are actually very typical, tarkov is insanely badly optimised you can throw £50,000 for a NASA PC and you'll still bearly push 150-160avg, scoping in and dropping fps to 80 is also normal, when you scope in the game basically renders TWICE as if you've got 2 tarkovs running and that's why your frames drop drastically.
Essentially it's just tarkov, the devs can't code/optimise at all.
@@ThatBritishGuy dam what a shame with few good changes this game would be incredible
The processor Lasso Thing got me a huge boost! Thanks man!
glad i could help! happy raids and best of luck with quest items!
@@ThatBritishGuy hello do you have anything for chrashes before getting in the game menu?? i could play the game the last days and still get couple of errors but now i cant even get to the menu of the game help pls. thx
@@leuteristsakiris6744 What's your systems specs first of all, CPU, GPU, Ram & HDD or SSD?
Did you follow the video prior to asking this question aswell?
@@ThatBritishGuy yea and i have an amd sapphire radeon 6600 xt 8 gb with ryzen 7 3800x 3.9ghz and 16 gb of ram. i tried a lot of thing the game at first was kinda playable but it was still getting errors and after some thing i tried though tarkov support that shows you what to do my game couldnt get in game menu right before go in the menu it freezes and restart my pc.i have uninstalled the game and installed it again but nothing works.
@@ThatBritishGuy lol actually i found a solution the game is so bad for real it was the memory ram like i have 16 gb of ram and i was using 4 of that and i couldnt get into the game. i deleted some game and got down to 3 gb of ram of use and it worked
I wouldn't mind a follow-up talking about AI and why it specifically causes the FPS loss and how BSG could improve it going forward. gonna try some of the suggestions and advice put here and see if it boosts my game's FPS I'm on a 1050TI Rig with like 4 Cores so will be interesting to see. currently average about 30 to 35 FPS although the stutters happen because of AI spawning in at once etc anyway, thank you for the vid! so glad you called out the temp files and fake FPS boasting people they got me with that line of thinking till I found this.
For me to findout exactly why AI causes this much of an FPS drop i'd need to know about coding which i do not so theres no real way i'd be-able to give an indepth analysis on why AI causes so much issues, only possible solution is to get the GPU to assist in the handling of AI data but idk exactly how all that works.
What 1050ti and 4 core cpu do you have so i can look at the specs of them? don't forget RAM is extremely important aswell. You should be getting way more than 35fps despite it being a 1050ti it's still most likely a 4gb vram card right? the 4 core might be an issue if it's an extremely older one but do try the virtual memory and other tweaks i've shown and let me know if you still have issues.
i will be doing a video in the future going through every single in-game setting and tweak out there 1 by 1 to see just how much they actually impact performance and the difference in usages which will be curious.
@@ThatBritishGuy Looking forward to that vid! As to more specific specs, Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU 2.80GHz 2808 Mhz to be exact. Also I should have clarified, My FPS varies sometimes I get 40 to 45 FPS on certain maps Ie Factory and Labs, but on Customs it'll tank when bots spawn. Woods is sometimes the same but is generally stable. Shoreline is more stable then Customs funny enough. Lighthouse haven't tested, and Reserve is the most unstable ie tanking. Main issue is my FPS isn't consistent and drops like a rock sometimes, then booasts back up the next. It's weird. And it is indeed connected to AI because offline I get a stable 60 or more ez much like in your vid.
I did your changes and got a boost to 50-59 FPS in menu. Will try in raid next.
i7-7700HQ im assuming you're running on a laptop with that CPU since it's a mobile chip that's part of your issue since mobile chips have a lower base clock, that CPU should boost 3.8ghz single core and 3.5/3.6ghz all core, the 2.80ghz is only the base clock speed having a slower clock speed will be the cause of your lacking in FPS.
Your cpu also has hyperthreading since it's an i7, 4 cores but 8 threads, the extra threads might help your stuttering and stability issues if it's even enabled.
If you are on a laptop that means that GPU will be switching between integrated and dedicated most likely due to power features of laptops, you'll have to tell windows to use your 1050ti when playing tarkov if it's not using it already.
@@ThatBritishGuy Okay will definitely use Processo Lasso for getting Windows to use 1050TI then for Tarkov! Thanks so much for the help!
Todo the gpu select you don't use process lasso that's for priority selection and core selection., to select what GPU to use for an application you right click the desktop, go to display settings scroll all the way down you'll see a "graphics settings" part click that and add escapefromtarkov.exe then hit options and select your performance GPU which should be ladled "1050ti" goodluck brotha.
I have 32 gb of ram, a rx 6700xt and a ryzen 5800x. My game runs smooth on tarkov but once i start shooting, it stutters like crazy and i cant full auto my weapons
Someone has come to me with this issue prior, try using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and removing Intel, Nvidia and AMD drivers every single one even if you've never had any installed b4, then install a fresh copy of the required driver, that fixed it for him.
@@ThatBritishGuy i removed my nvidia files from my amd , and now i can play without stutters
Bruh idk why i recently build a new pc with an 3060ti and an i9 - 9700f and 32gb of ddr4 ram and my game still runs like shit and only tarkov all the other games work fine
doesn't matter what PC you have tarkov will always run like crap because it's optimised EXTREMELY badly.
wait for the next technical patch on the road map which is the upgraded engine and performance optimisations for and i quote "big improvements to fps" hopefully we get lucky.
@@ThatBritishGuy Would be nice man :D
Bro what do you use to record? Are you using a capture card?
I used nvidia's shadowplay recording (NVENC) to capture the gameplay at 40k bitrate then used vpro for rendering ect.
Nvidia's shadowplay/recording overlay has little to 0 impact on a games performance but it does consume some vram.
Not the best quality but OBS Studio refused to hook into tarkov.
@@ThatBritishGuy thanks bro! thanks for the guide as well :)
I have not tried this in-game yet. I also have a 1060 3gb and ryzen5 2600 8GB ram. I am very hopeful though
Update: I optimized Tarkov through Nvidia geforce experience. I just did the "Optimal" setting and now my game works wonders! I have very stable fps, 50-70 fps on customs!
8gb is ram is rough but can be playable it just requires you to restart your game more often due to memory leaks, there is a clip on my channel of me playing on this same hardware except with 8gb ram instead of 16gb also on interchange instead of customs.
interchange atm though has a weird FPS bug which i think has something todo with killa im not sure.
@@ThatBritishGuy I believe your guide gave me some stability. Before I followed your guide I did a "fix" from a guy called "Panjoo" or something and it boosted my frames with about 30! But after I restarted my PC my fps was lower than ever before. Not sure why.
Yeah i've followed some of panjoo's guides some of them can be alright but majority of them are the standard stuff theres a better guy with better more indepth guides to follow called "fr33thy" www.youtube.com/@FR33THY check him out his channel is super solid and shows proof aswell.
@@ThatBritishGuy Thank you!
You made my day BIG THANKS!
Glad i could help out, enjoy the rest of the wipe and try to have fun despite the cheating problem atm XD
Nothing you’ve done on the video fixed my issues. Bought 128 gigs of ram because I was tired of trying everything I was seing online, fixed all my issues
1 out of how many people? Sounds to me like a you problem, noone in the existence of tarkov will recommend 128gb of ram minimum 🤣 joker
@@ThatBritishGuyrelax man, i’m not saying your advice didn’t work for other people. But as you said it’s often a you problem with this game. My RAM was always full after one hour of playing. I’ve tried literally EVERYTHING to fix the memory leaks issues. It’s just to show how stupid and badly coded this game is. Yes it’s stupid, but it worked fantastically 🤷🏻♂️
I noticed the servers turn bad when you play with more than 1 other person and it’s not until they extract that the studders completely stop
i queue with people all the time and i never have any studders or issues based on soloing vs queue stacking.
Hey man, great video. Thanks for explaining everything clearly. So I just ordered a new pc mostly to play Tarkov, it has I5 12400F, 3060Ti and 16 gigs of 3200mhz ram. Do you think an upgrade to 32 gigs is worth it in my case, or will I be just fine with a page file?
thanks for commenting! That depends on your funding and how committed you are to tarkov, if you can afford the 32gigs of ram then it's worth it, if you plan to play alot of the newer maps on tarkov then the more ram the better since pagefile will always be slower than real memory just make sure you're running the ram in duel channel and on the XMP profile otherwise it won't perform well.
Holy shit. I’ve been trying to fix this issue for days. My game has never stuttered before this wipe but after it would stutter every other second. After this video my game is running smoother than it ever has.
Glad I could help you out dude, enjoy your smooth game and best of luck raiding!
@@ThatBritishGuy hey one question. Anytime I try to load into streets it gets to awaiting session start and then freezes. Do you know a fix to this?
@@BlooS3 This might seem like a bad answer but don't play streets not yet anyway wait til it gets optimised first it's just not worth the trouble to try play it.
if you're dead set on playing streets then if it's freezing at "awaiting session start" then it's most likely you're run out of memory.
are you on a HDD or SSD also how much ram do you have?
@@ThatBritishGuy interesting. I’m on ssd with 16gb ram
Hey man ever since ive done this It has helped with my stuttering quite a bit, but now recently ive blue screened like 3 times in the last 24 hours... Any idea why?
As said in the pinned comment, if you're bluescreening which should never happen it's most likley due to you setting a pagefile size bigger than your available space on that drive which then causes allocation issues.
if you've set 20gb of pagefile that's 20gb of actual drive space, if you've installed files apps ect that take up that space then it will crash.
worst case to identify your issue you can set pagefile back to default and see if it still crashes if it does then pagefile isn't the cause.
what was the bluescreen error code?
@@ThatBritishGuy What you've described was likely the issue, I had a feeling that might of been it, I had very little space left on my drive. I've since cleared up a large amount of space although haven't played since so I'm not sure if its fixed
The error code was
kernel mode heap corruption
@@ThatBritishGuy Well I freed up a lot of space on my SSD however I still am very commonly blue screening, id say once every maybe hour or two, only happens when i've been playing tarkov for a while ive noticed. Not sure what to do to fix it, any ideas?
Also although I stutter very infrequently on maps since doing these changes, maps like lighthouse and interchange are still very stuttery and streets is nearly unplayable, 75% of the time kicking me out before I can even load into it, and when im in its just a stutter-fest, do you have any possible insights on solutions to make it like, less-bad?
[Edit] As it would seem I blue screen about every other raid when it comes to streets of tarkov, its like the more intensive the gameplay the faster it comes
Great video man, i did everything except for the msi afterburner becasue i have Gigabyte. Streets runs a lot better but its still pretty much unplayable. Guess ill just have to wait for them to optimize it. Still dont understand how people can play streets, pretty annoying lol
Yeah streets is basically unplayable unless you have a NASA PC that'll cost you an arm, leg and a lung the logical choice is to just wait for it to get sorted out, typical BSG causing issues with every content update.
MSI Afterburner can be used with any GPU(Nvidia & AMD) and any Brand of GPU(EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, ASUS, ZOTAC, ect) it doesn't have to be MSI.
Yea I’ll usually get around 90 frames but it’ll fluctuate so frequently and have so many drops like from 90 to 70 with a lot of stutters
i advise you checkout my latest video to smoothen those frames out, a consistent 70fps is better than a bouncing 70-90fps.
@@ThatBritishGuy just watched it, thanks a lot gonna try in tonight to see if it works. Also subbed too
@@bigdawg4162 Thanks for subbing, hopefully it helps your issue you can also turn off binaural audio as that's been known to cause issues this wipe aswell.
@@bigdawg4162 Did it help out?
@@boomboomstick2 yea, sometimes the game doesn’t run well but I noticed a pretty big difference
i have a minor problem.. last week was everything fine but for the last two days i literally cant join the raid or if i can join one, it stutters to the point that my whole computer freezes.. every game works fine. oh and also the hideout runs smoothly
Going to try this when I get home.
Least tech savvy person alive… btw
I spawn in and my game will just freeze and unfreeze or certain interactions freeze it and unfreeze
Hopefully this fixed the issue
Makes sure you're not trying to play tarkov on a mechanical hard drive.
This fix can't perform miracles it will work for some and not for others highly dependent on the persons pc, alot of people have had success doing this so hopefully it fixes your issue aswell.
@ThatBritishGuy what would you recommend setting the initial paging file size and and maximum size for me. I have 24 gigs of ram and don’t know exactly what to set it at.
if you can spare the SSD storage space just set it to 20000 20000 both initial and max that way you'll never have to touch it ever again.
RTX 3070ti Ryzen 7 5800x3d average FPS on Streets 150-170fps no overclocking 120fps while streaming my GPU CPU load around 60% that smoothenes broo insane
So I have 8 gb ram. And I can play the game. Just have mild stutters/freezes from time to time. I can load lighthouse, reserve, factory, all them. But my game will NOT load Streets, or interchange. It has a rough time. The “loading map” and “loading loot” time takes about 6 mins a piece, so around 12-13 mins to load into a game for those maps. I ordered more RAM, hopefully that helps
8GB is defo borderline but it's interesting to me that interchange loads slower than lighthouse for you, interchange on 8GB loaded fine for me strange.
upgrading will help a TON and you'll defo notice a difference also make sure you're running on an SSD both OS and the game.
@@ThatBritishGuy yeah it’s weird lol. Pisses me off too man. I don’t lose frames in gunfights, or when grenades go off, or when it’s raining on certain maps. But streets and interchange damn near blow up my pc if one shot rings out. That’s if I can load in.
I do have an NvMe ssd, just a 500 though. I thought about upgrading that too.
Been playing for over a year with a solid stutter. Gone because of this video. Thank you mate
glad i could help, maybe you can actually enjoy the game now have fun and happy questing!
Whats your value of Initial size and Maximum size and how much ram does you have? Im wondering cuz maybe your values might help me
@@quallex9660 I have 16gb and used the values he had set for the ram, so 8000, and 16000. As far as MIP streaming I maxed it out. Went from 50fps to 100fps.
@@quallex9660 Try not to get your hopes up my video was never intended to gain fps that is just a bonus, it was only designed to smoothen your fps to make what you have currently playable.
ONLY set his values if you have the space on your SSD for those values, pagefiling uses your storage space as "fake ram" basically it's slower but stops crashing and stops stuttering but only if used on an SSD not a HDD.
Mate!!!!! You absolute belter 😂 I’m new to pc and my game was stuttering like crazy every 2 seconds, thought it was my internet or audio or something crazy hahah i can play now, nearly threw this pc out the window 😂 if I ever have a son he’s getting named after u

Welcome to PC Gaming!!!
I’m getting shit frames since wipe, before I was 70-80 frames on reserve. Now I’m 30-40 fps. Specs i5 7600k, 16 gb ram, ssd, 1060 6gb
This wipe has been really bad for frames, BSG installed a hotfix yesterday which for me personally helped a bit, you should be getting more than 30-40fps on reserve that seems super low, try turning off binaural audio that has been known this wipe to cause fps issues and other buggy problems on some systems.
What settings are you running at?
@@ThatBritishGuy tried binaural does nothing, yesterday evening I was playing on a solid 45/60 fps on woods just by disabling windows defender for the tarkov folder, and also I noticed that discord for me eats frames so make sure that is minimized
@@ThatBritishGuy high textures low shadows, I tried medium graphics but doesn’t change
Also the ram usage is pretty low, like 40% and cpu is high usage, maybe because it’s a quad core
@@ThatBritishGuy the thing is that 2 years ago it was running super smoothly so I’m hoping for a fix from bsg (renewing my pc it’s an option and I will do it in the next months)
@@alexxxone i mean the quad core is weak but it is a 7th gen not that bad, it is a K variant maybe overclock it, 3.8base 4.2boost maybe you set it to 4.2 all core that'll help it out since it's all core will only be 4.0 and 4.2 on a single core.
it should be stable at 4.2 all core since that's boost clock anyway aslong as you have temp headroom.
1060 6gb is decent but the high even medium textures is rough on vram use mip streaming alongside low/medium textures NEVER use high textures not on a 1060 anyway, even on low textures mip streaming on my 3gb model im always bouncing off the 3gb vram limit, you can use rivertuner OSD to watch your limits.
currently now im having bad stuttering with 70 fps i have i78700k 2080ti with 12gvram
I tried all of this after reading the comments, my main issue has been stuttering and freezing happening at any time during a raid and especially when in combat. I run 16gbs of ram and set my ssd page file to your specifications, now it seems worse than before I enabled anything. Do you have any advice?
that profile picture took me back. frankie come back man
Yeah i do miss the legend in 1080p, he's been gone for years now he does appear in some of sada's content but his own channel is just abandoned, glad you recognised it you're the 3rd person to notice it so far.

Glad i could help, i pride myself on not being the typical copy cat person i know how annoying it is for every video to be the same view farming solutions.
All good, tarkov ran like never before on my rig, smooth frames 0 stutter, for real.. 0 like wtf.. right?
Until it came back even tho pagefile was 20 or 30 or 50 or 70 i tried, it came back but what seemed to fix it was rebooting the whole PC soo... whats up with that?
finally someone said the truth ! Trolls are all over the web now ... talking crap on forums " helping" gamers stating that its their rigs fault but the game runs sh*t ... its the games fault
Straight facts, on a real note it's the games fault to an extent, im not going to denie the fact my PC is stupidly under-powered for tarkov but those with 8th gen or higher CPU's, 16gb ram and 1080's or newer GPU's are perfectly fine for tarkov it's just BSG's trash optimisation and poor decision making.
@@ThatBritishGuy look mate...i will be honest i have 10900k and 3080ti but slowly im starting to realise... that the games these days are labeled as early access or beta alpha bla bla ..because the devs are lazy to code/optimize their games properly ... Tarkov is not running good for me tbh even if i have this rig . With ais on the map i get around 85 fps avarage .. Which is not bad , dont get me wrong im happy .... but could be better imo . Also had stutters... a lot . Too everyone out there ... u will get small fps dips here and there because the ai spawning anyway so ... dont waste your money on expensive rigs for tarkov . Same goes for Arma 3. lags when ai spawning in , also units on map eating away your fps ... 🤷
@@Mattdeath25 Finally someone else that remembers ArmA's poor performance no matter the hardware, you're right they do use "beta/alpha/early access" as an excuse to not fix issues, that's what DayZ Standalone did until full release and a port to a better engine fixed performance but in the end that was too late, BSG will make the same mistake by waiting too late to fix the issues.
80fps is perfectly fine have you ever considered using rivertuners driver based limiter to help with stutters, it will not FIX stutters but it can make them less noticable, a smooth 60 is better than a stuttery mess 80 or just deal with the stutters until BSG actually does something.
@@ThatBritishGuy yeah i tried to limit my fps .. maan i tried everything u can imagine ... so for example i have a 165 fps monitor ( dont ask me why because i dont reach that fps in the most cases as im playing high and ultra but mostly on 1080p ) and i tried to lower the hz to 85 ... to 60 hz ... Yes i had less microlags/stutters but its soooo annoying . You know whats the most annoying thing : spending too much money on a rig that wont get you the performance u wish for . Do u have any opinions on Scum ???
@@Mattdeath25 Yeah it's a dead game that was hyped up by streamers then dropped hard af and never spoken of again.
all seriousness never played it so i can't give an honest opinion.
side note lowering your monitors refresh-rate does not change your in-games FPS and does absolutely nothing to your actual game, the monitors "fps" as you call it is actually the monitors refresh-rate speed, the only way that would change your fps is if you used vsync or something similar which i advise against.
limited your monitors hz and limiting your fps are 2 different things entirely.
Well. I guess I'm not going to play Tarkov for however many years it takes them to fix performance (if they ever get around to it before the game dies). Your point about newer hardware and diminishing performance returns because of horrible coding is absolutely correct. Nothing can fix this issue but the developers themselves, and it's truly a shame. I love Tarkov, but it's just not worth it to be honest.
theres a dude i know who's playing on 32GB of ram, i9 11900k and a 4090 and he gets 40-60fps on streets and hardly reaches 90-100 on other maps, the game just isn't well optimised at all and it's a shame.
Thanks Man thats Great :-) Greets from Germany i Share it :-)
appreciate it! goodluck in your raids and happy questin!
Thank you for the video !
I didn't really get the part with the paging size setting... if i have 32GB RAM what would you recommend to put ?
General rule of thumb is 1.5x your amount of memory but considering you've got 32GB you shouldn't really need that big of a pagefile, anywhere near the 20000/30000 mark that's what BSG recommended when the game had memory leak and issues so try that you can tinker with it and fine tune it for your personal system needs.
@@ThatBritishGuy Thank you for your answer.
Unfortunately, nothing is fixed for me, i still have a lot of stutters / freezes after setting the paging size at 20000 min 30000 max

This video blew my mind, I never thought about making my frames manageable vs trying to increase performence. LOVED this video! My only question is when adjusting virtual memory do I need to select the drive the game is installed on or is it on the drive that has windows installed?
It doesn't matter which drive it's put on aslong as and this is important it's set to an SSD and NOT a HDD, if you put pagefile on a HDD it will cause extreme stuttering and lag and trust me you do not want that.
There will be an up-coming follow up video showing the differences between pagefile off, pagefile set too low, pagefile on SSD vs HDD and pagefile on an external drive.

I did the file paging size thing just as you said but after a few perfect raids it blue screened on streets 2 times so that file paging is kinda suspicious at least for 20000
i've been using it for ages and it works perfectly for me, pagefiling is using your hard-drive/solid state drive(Storage) as virtual ram prior to you changing it, it still was being used just not that much available space, make sure it's on an SSD and that you have plenty of storage space for it to begin with.
you can turn it off if you want or back to auto but disabling it will cause alot more issues and setting it to auto will let windows choose how much you need, as shown in the video the BSG devs them selves recommended this fix so it can't be "suspicious" plus i shown you in the video gameplay of me using it and a rivertuner overlay showing the exact mb pagefile amount too, must be something you're doing wrong or something you've personally incorrectly setup.
I’ve blue screws as well multiple times it helps but I’m blue screening
@@TheIbrahim711 make sure you're not setting a pagefile size bigger than the amount of storage space you actually have.
also make sure you did infact set the correct size and not too little.
all pagefile does is use your SSD/HDD as fake ram basically it doesn't do anything else besides read and write from your drive that's it which means it needs the size you set available on the drive for it to work.
if you set 20000(20,000) that equals to 20GB which means you'll need atleast 25GB of free space on that specific drive otherwise it'll just bluescreen cus well it can't allocate space that it doesn't have.
i have watched hundreds of hours and thousands of $ in new parts and you just solved my god damn mf problem by telling me i dont have an ssd i didnt even realize there was a slot for that
all that money spent and you never thought of having an SSD in your PC haha that'll do it.
With 8 GB of ram every map is pretty playable like on Customs you can have 40-55 fps. Not good but playable, trust me. Same goes for the Lighthouse, for some reason this map is more stable than customs. Also try disabling mip streaming next time because shit mostly the cause of frame drops and freezing. I know how the game works both on GTX1650Ti, I59300(ish) and 8 gb ram and rtx3070TI with 32gb of ram(don't remember the cpu). Mip streaming is just garbage
I have videos running with 8GB ram, it is playable but i found its only playable without stutters if you restart the game either between maps or after 2-3 raids of the same map otherwise it causes massive stutters and load-time issues.
MIP Streaming works perfectly for me, it had bugs awhile ago but works fine personally for me.
I think I should marathon all maps with and without mip streaming to find out how it works on my computer with 8 GB of ram and which settings are the best. Anyway, great video with great in depth explanation. 👍
@@cheeseman1223 Thanks, i think MIP Streaming is just dependent on the PC some settings work and some don't it's weird, maybe i should also do that aswell change every setting individually and see just how much of a performance difference each setting shows, would be interesting to see it from your hardware aswell if you plan todo it.
i'd just had enough of all the fakers spreading missinformation about "how to improve fps by clearing temp files and adjust for best performance" then showing fake results.
@@ThatBritishGuy I definitely will try different settings on all maps. There's nothing interesting to do in pre-wipe lobbies anyway. The main issue might be the events, because there's only one place of interest on each map so imo this may affect positively on performance in online. Still worth trying to do it anyway today and after wipe I think.
I'll start with lighthouse and run it twice with and without mip streaming and probably will turn on and off some settings to see how it goes. So it will be 4-6 runs on every map. I'll keep you in touch
@@ThatBritishGuy Well I played on Lighthouse,Shoreline several times and 2 times on the Forest with mip streaming turned on and off.
Gotta say I played with every setting set to minimum or off completly except I had FXAA turned on.Later I found out that anisotropic filtering boost perfomance and add 1-2 fps or at least making everything smoother and more playable. GTX1650 TI, Intel core i59300H, 8 gb of ram and game is on ssd.
Lighthouse with mip off is pretty much stable 40 fps with some drops to 30. Gunfight went pretty smooth, managed to kill some people and bots while someone bombing players from USEC's base.
With mip on just stable 30 fps with some freezing while shooting. Pretty uncomfortable but still managed to raid Usec's base and got out alive.
It took about 3 minutes to get into match(mostly cause the search time) with and without mip streaming. With mip streaming turned on it took longer to get out of match. Very playable without mip streaming.
Shoreline was more unstable than Lighthouse. with mip set to off it was 30 fps with drops to 20 but then it was increased to 40 with some freezes when started to shoot. I only managed to play once so I think I should get more tests.
With mip streaming just 30 fps with some drops to 25. I was just running, didn't even manage to shoot but still horrible expirience.
Took 4 minutes to get in. Still need more tests I think.
Forest is pretty playable with stable 40-35 fps. Played it twice without mip streaming. On the second run it was raining so fps significantly droped to 20 and incereased to 40 as it stopped.
Hope it was interesting to read or at least you got some useful information. Still have to do many runs before wipe to find settings to be comfortable with
60 seconds in and i hit subscribe.... love the STFU lol :D
appreciate it haha, i like to keep it honest no fakery stuff around here.
You have half my frames but it looks like the game runs twice as good, I'll be at 100 fps all the time yet my average sits around 58 from all the stutters. I've been using page file size and it doesn't do anything on my am5/ddr5 system but I'm gonna grab lasso and see if that can help me out. I ended up resetting my computer today and it didn't do anything I still stuttered and crashed
Its crazy Ive got an I9 12900k a 4070 Super and 32gb of 3200mhz ram and still get crap performance on Streets...
On a fresh PC restart without opening anything after about 2-3mins for windows to settle what is your RAM idle usage and CPU Idle Usage?
@@ThatBritishGuy 3% CPU and 23-25% RAM, with 1-2% of NVME read/write HD usage.
The best guide for optimizing this game!
This new update has fucked almost every map for me it pisses me off. Almost everyone I come across in game says the same thing. Streets is unplayable I have to look at my feet in order to get like 15 frames
Holy yours is that bad!? i can get 45-50fps on streets what is your system specs?
also it's not in the video because it was prior to the patch update but turn of the binaural audio, it's been known to cause frame drops and stability issues within the game if people haven't told you yet.
@@ThatBritishGuy my specs are fine besides my shitted out hard drive, last wipe i had issues on big maps but was still mostly playable (besides interchange pmc) but this new one has fucked even lighthouse scavving. Im sure once i get a ssd i should be able to play a lot better but still ive come across people lagging their tits off.
@@asskillme545 Yeah tons of people this wipe even with 32gb ram and an SSD still get lag issues but an SSD will definitely help.
if you feel like trying something unique you could "short stroke" your HDD it's an old technique used back in the day, it's better if you watch linus tech tips video on short stroking for a better explanation than what i can give but basically you partition your drive for less space so you're only using the faster part of your HDD but in return you lose that extra space and can't use it.
@@ThatBritishGuy appreciate the advice but this old girl is too old for any sort of fuckery, when i hear a noise coming out of my pc i give it a smack until it goes away like an old italian man and his wife
@@ThatBritishGuy i bought a ssd but its not my c drive, my hard drive is. I switched my tarkov folder location to the ssd but should i get my operating system on it too? As of late my game seizes on itself, especially in gunfights and it gets me killed. Also kinda a side note, when im scoped in, the whole sight picture is significantly darker then unscoped. this causes issues during night raids, i can see the fuckers decent at a range but i scoped in and i cant see shit. Ive fiddled with postfx but it hasnt done much. Could it be a graphical setting that i need to change?
I Will try this thank you, really starting to hate this game, getting 45-50 fps on Interchange with a 3600xt and rtx 2080 super so annoying
Yeah i've been having issues on the most recent wipe/patch the frames have been insanely bad and inconsistent compared to last patch, i wish you the best of luck with your fps if i figure something else out i'll post it.
I have a rx 580 which is like a 1070 and I run every map at around 50-60 fps besides streets of tarkov
i have 64gb of ram, would the virtual memory be initial size (MB) 20000 Maximum size: 20000?
I upgraded gpu from a 1050Ti to a RX6600 ever since, anytime a player gets in my screen it skips HARD
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core
Motherboard: b550-M
of course tarkov is on a 2TB M.2
You are the GOAT !
TheBritishGoat here to help haha, glad it worked for ya, enjoy.
Hey, thank you for the video! It looks very promising! I have the exact same PC specs as you but when I go to my system properties, my CPU shows 3.40 GHz in the same position where it shows 3.90 GHz for you. You call it "boost". Does it make a difference or will I be able to run Tarkov with a similar performance as you? Thank you!
if you have the exact same CPU as me except yours shows 3.4 and not 3.9 single 3.7all core then you won't get the same performance as me, boost gives slightly higher clock speed all core which helps with cpu intensive situations to enable turbo boost you can go into the BIOS and look for an option called "Intel Turbo Boost" and enable that if you wish to not enable turbo boost you can just leave it off it as it's only 300mhz extra clock speed that you'll get since 3.9 is only on a single cpu core and during games it'll only be 3.7.
Really helpful video!
Glad i could help! enjoy tarkov and goodluck in your raids!
Im getting 45-55fps on customs in offline raid while AI's are enabled, without AI 70. Using your settings.
Intel i5 7400k
RTX 3060 12gb
16gb ram 3200mhz.
hmm you should get more of an fps boost than 70 with bots disabled, something isn't setup correctly with your PC for your frames to be that low in an empty raid.
Look up on youtube your system specs on tarkov there will be a few benchmarks showing what performance you should be getting and expect to get.
I saw some videos with this specs and they have 100+, i dont know what is the problem.. Like this, i cant play the game ..
Can u help me please?
sorry for the late reply i was dealing with a big issue of mine.
are you using an SSD and ofc have binurial audio turned off? is that 16gb ram a single stick or duel stick if it's a duel stick are you running in duel channel mode and ofc on XMP.
is tarkov installed on that SSD alongside the pagefile?
@@ThatBritishGuy Yes im using SSD, ram are duel stick's, and i have only 2 slots in the motherboard, and can u explain what is the XMP ?:D
I had the same problem like that i7 guy i was upgrading GPU only all the time ,and never my i7 8700,its playable but its not optimal you feel big fps drops in fire fight cause my 2070 was to strong for i7 8700.
Now i upgraded to 3070 and i5 13600k and my fps drops under 90 only on interchange in the middle watching thru scope online raid.
What can happen is if your system is unbalanced aka gpu stronger than cpu then your gpu will be under utilised which if not setup will then run in a lower power state and/or not boosting causing the super bad fps.
like so many else that comes here, THANKS SO MUCH MY GUY!
i thought i was gonna have to upgrade my whole pc, but i just bought an m2 ssd and installed tarkov on, and did some minor tuning like u showed here, and my god, it's a completely new game!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I mean it was not playable b4, and now, it is super smooth, still a Little bit stuttering but i guess i can not get rid of that completely, but now, it is accually enjoyable again,. i run an i7-6700k and an 2070super and 16 gigs ram. and now on lighthouse i put out around 70-100 fps
Yep and just like so many you've proving that it IS possible to get that kind of FPS on 6th gen 7th gen and 8th gen CPU's, the minor stuttering you get is just part of tarkov sadly, that m.2 will help a TON, glad it's working perfectly for you, catch you in raid my man!!! goodluck with quest items!!!
I used to play 1280x720 to kill stutetrs but the bad thing with that is that the enmis are like 4 pixels at a distance
Yeah 720p isn't exactly ideal, if you plan to play at lower resolutions enable nvidias NIS(Nvidia Image Scaling) you run at a lower native resolution and it upscales the resolution and sharpens the image for you while keeping the same performance gains as native 720p.
what do you run at now?
I got a 13700k would it be better for me to use only physical cores or should i use hyperthreading?
Honestly it's best to test it yourself, every CPU, application and PC handles things differently so try it on and try it off whatever offers you better performance and consistency but make sure you use process lassos todo it, the in-game option can be a little wonky and sometimes not work correctly if at all.
If my escape from tarkov is on my D: ssd drive, should I change virtual memory on there or on my C: drive? Sorry if its a stupid question
always set your pagefile to your SSD aswell, you do NOT want pagefile on a mechanical drive.
