This 2025 guide will walk you through the best PC settings to instantly boost FPS and visibility, tailored for both NVIDIA and AMD Radeon users, and fully compatible with the latest wipe and DLSS 4.

🧠 Windows 11 Optimization (Start Here)

These tweaks reduce system overhead and prioritize Tarkov's performance.

✅ Game & Graphics Settings:

  • Game Bar: OFF (Unless using Ryzen 7900X3D/7950X3D)

  • Capture Options: OFF

  • Install latest chipset drivers (Intel or AMD)

  • Update BIOS and GPU Drivers regularly

🟩 NVIDIA GPU Optimization – DLSS 4 & G-Sync Tweaks

🎯 Best Settings in Nvidia Control Panel:

  • DLSS Version: Force DLSS 4 under Escape From Tarkov > Use Latest

  • Low Latency Mode: ON

  • G-Sync: ON (stay within range – ex: 240Hz monitor → cap FPS at 237)

  • Shader Cache Size: Increase to 10–100 GB

  • Digital Vibrance: 55% for better visibility

  • Power Management Mode: Prefer Maximum Performance

  • Power Limit: Raise to 133% if thermals allow (5–7% FPS boost)

✅ Monitor Settings:

  • Resolution: Native

  • Refresh Rate: Set to max in Windows settings (not default 60Hz)

  • Color Format: 10-bit if supported

  • Dynamic Range: Full

🟥 AMD Radeon Settings – FSR & Radeon Chill

🔧 Radeon Control Panel:

  • FreeSync: ON

  • Custom Graphics Profile: Use for Escape From Tarkov

  • Select Discrete GPU, not integrated graphics

🔄 Performance Tips:

  • FSR 4 / Frame Generation: Enable if supported

  • Radeon Chill: Use to cap FPS just below monitor’s refresh rate (e.g., 170Hz → 167 FPS)

  • Fluid Motion Frames: Optional (for non-competitive games)

  • Image Sharpening: 60–70% for blurry or TAA-heavy games

  • Reset Shader Cache: Helps fix random stuttering

🧊 Extra Tip:

On laptops or thermally limited rigs, lock FPS to 60 to avoid sudden GPU/CPU throttling and maintain stability during long sessions.

🆘 Bonus Tips for Extra Performance

  • Post Effects & Digital Vibrance: Boost visibility in dark maps like Streets of Tarkov

  • Texture Streaming Settings: Use “lower texture resolution” only if stuttering

  • DLSS vs FSR: DLSS 4 (NVIDIA) offers clearer images than FSR 3.0 (AMD) – always use Quality mode
