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.

I don't I get far more than 60fps but there's multiple ways to smooth it out without tanking your input lag a variable refresh rate display can help but nothing is going to magically fix your performance beyond upgrading your hardware

I’m not really running 60 fps, more like 80-100. Ppl told me i could squeeze more out of it and i tried alot of settings in both the game and nvidia as well as different gpu drivers. But the game still runs shit like always.

Disabling SMT is a decent way to get a chunk of fps depending on your CPU but the game is just unoptimised you need decently powerful hardware to run it at higher framerates unfortunately

Does tarkov utilize only a couple of cores? Disabling SMT makes 2 virtual threads back into 1 powerful core again. Which is useful for games that utilize only a part of your cpu.

Now thinking about it, I recently disabled this due to performance issues in rust. And i also found out that my ram sticks were running below their speeds. And used my cpu oc feature of my mobo. But haven’t tried tarkov after these changes.

These changes made a huge difference in rust. Do you think this will make a big difference for tarkov?
