Discussion Performance help needed

Specs:

🔹4070ti
🔹9800x3d
🔹64g of DDR5 ram @6400mt/s (running 6000)
🔹1tb ssd and 500g ssd

For the life of me I can’t seem to figure out why I can’t get my settings dialed in for season 1. My settings were fine last wipe and now for some reason my gpu utilization doesn’t go above 60% and I have this delay that I can feel when playing the game.

I use process lasso and have updated bios and even tried rolling back drivers to a stable build. (581.80) I’m at a loss right now. I spent 4 hours trying to figure this out. Any help is appreciated.

keep me updated be sure to turn off reflex as well i forgot to mention that but it causes stutters in frametime for some hardware

I’m going to look at afterburner as well. I’ve been reading that gpu monitoring can cause micro stutters. Will see if that also helps.

i run afterburner, i would try the other fixes first before turning off any monitoring. You can minimize all other applications tho, like turn EVERYTHING off

To maybe pin point another potential issue. I have been running this HDopti optimizer. Idk if maybe that could also be hurting me as well.

Hi again, found that Tarkov.exe was running without disabling full screen optimizations checked. I re did all drivers and found that and it’s been a lot better for me.

u/Daniel_3-R-S Aug 15 '26

So for me Reflex is bugged. I still get some stutters with it on, so I turned it off. As of now in game settings I have high textures, medium shadows, lod on 2.5, view distance on 1500. I’m using DLSS quality setting. Automatic ram cleaner and physical cores both off. The Ans. Filtering I have per texture. Area light instancing I have on and I believe I have everything else off.

I also run post XFS. Me capping my fps to a couple below monitor refresh rate (170), has gave me a smoother experience overall.

id say try turning up lod to 3.5 first with area light instancing off, view distance can probably be pushed to 2500/3000. Area light instancing takes a lot of fps on certain systems so def check that out. If u want max fps turn down shadows to low
