Escape from Tarkov

Tarkov is a famously CPU-bound Unity title — graphics settings and Windows-side CPU checks for raid stability, especially on Streets.

Expected effect varies by setup.

In-game video settings

Shadows Quality → Low
Object LOD Quality → lower-middle range
Overall Visibility → lower
One of the heaviest settings, especially on Streets of Tarkov
Screen Space Reflections → Off
HBAO → Off
Anisotropic Filtering → lower step
Chromatic Aberration / Film Grain / Grass Shadows → Off
No gameplay-critical visibility benefit
DLSS / FSR + FPS cap → test deliberately
Tarkov is often CPU-limited, so upscaling may not raise FPS the way it does in GPU-bound games

Enable Ultimate Performance power plan
powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61 — Tarkov leans on single-thread CPU performance
Set EscapeFromTarkov.exe priority to High
Task Manager → Details tab
Disable Xbox Game Bar, Discord overlay, GPU-vendor overlay
Check RAM headroom on Streets of Tarkov
16GB or less is a common source of stutter; 32GB helps
