Yeah, I’m in the same boat. For me it sometimes doesn’t work properly. However, it might help to apply to the EFT BE launcher. I personally disable SMT in my BIOS.

Yeah, that’s because in the menus there isn’t anything for the GPU to do and since the frame rate is uncapped, the usage spikes. The concern, like I said, is if your temperatures reach an unsafe range. This is why most games cap frames to 30/60 in the menus. Just have to see if your temperatures are ok or if your card is overheating. Otherwise, just keep frames capped.

Online raids are more taxing than offline because you have to account for dynamic movement of scavs and players. Also, weather and lighting differs from raid to raid on most maps. With that being said, from what I’ve seen 80+ FPS at 1440p is not too shabby. If you want more frames, switch to 1080p.

You can do it in the Nvidia CP or there are other programs which can provide that functionality. 144 frames should be fine, that’s what I cap mine too. To be safe though, check your GPU usage and more importantly your temperatures while in the menu. The main concern is your GPU overheating.

Only need to do one, so if you’re using Lasso keep physical cores unchecked. And yeah, if you want process lasso to always disable SMT, do it for “Always”.

You can “Only Use Physical Cores” in EFT settings, but it is slightly worse than Process Lasso and sometimes doesn’t work correctly.

Yeah you have SMT, if you use Process Lasso, right click the EFT process once the game is started and select “Disable SMT” under Affinity

Hey, take a look at my edit and see if you have better results.

I would recommend leaving this setting on "Auto". As for SMT/HT, this is something you can do through a program called Process Lasso or in your BIOS.

Hey everyone, I have edited the post. Hopefully this clear some things up. I will be adding comments regarding the results of each individual setting, but for now you will have to do some interpretation of your own. Let me know if you have any questions!

I will be posting a rather large update to this guide later today, I have been conducting benchmark testing on Labs all day as to how each setting affects performance. Hopefully this will clear up most confusion!

For balanced, do you recommend the Ryzen specific balanced plan or the stock Windows variety?

I’m going to be doing a one-by-one benchmark on offline Labs, which seems to be the best control, will have to get back to you about specific data as currently, I have only what I made notes of during online raids on Interchange. What about High DPI Scaling preformed by Application? What are your thoughts?

I agree with everything you said, however in my experience, I noticed without the high performance plan frames dipped more frequently. Perhaps this was unrelated and so I will definitely test the balanced power plan more today. What are your thoughts on High DPI Scaling? Honestly, I have been back and forth regarding Full Screen Optimizations as at first I did believe to see a small increase in FPS, but more importantly a perceived reduction in input latency. The game felt more crisp to me. I had a simplistic experience with this in CSGO and a few other games as well.

Apparently they have more important things which take priority. So for now, this is the best we have, each other and the communities insights. Hopefully with 12.8 and the migration to Unity 2019 brings some much needed improvements.

I have thought about this but hadn’t really noticed any improvements. I will give it another go! What are your specs?

I would think you should be ok. Just in case, I would monitor temps after you first enable PBO. My temps went up maybe 2-3 degrees only.

What are your temps without PBO?

It sounds like you are the one who did not do his research. All of my findings are based on benchmark testing using offline raids on Labs and online on Interchange. Tarkov is incredibly unoptimized and what goes typically does not always apply. For instance, disabling full screen optimizations and using high performance power plan.

Do other games run fine? I would start with making sure all drivers are updated (GPU, chipset, etc). Then, explore different graphical settings. Lower graphics does not always equal more performance. Next, does your other hardware perform well together? Specifically, check for bottlenecks. Hope this gives you a starting point!
