New MIP settings boost performance - Escape From Tarkov 

Thanks for your easy to follow explanations, one step at a ti. It makes learning less overwhelming!

small update - first slider decides how much ram can be reserved for MIP in Gigabytes . Second slider decides how much space can be reserved on your hard disk ( or SSD ) in Megabytes.

Good stuff man. Thank you for the informative video Axel!!

axel this is the most important thing you could have covered for me. Thankyou

cool video it helped out a ton with starting out and composing my first soft

thanks for the video man. i needed this for lighthouse since i also run a 2070. it shouldnt need it since i can run most modern titles at max settings but with tarkovs optimization, i still need it in this case. i just hope BSG doesnt rely on these band aid fixes to not optimize the game better like they should, though it does help in the mean time. just still think this should only be an option for lower end PCs since most would consider 20 series GPUs and CPUs like the ryzen 7 3rd gen still on the high end side which in most cases can run modern titles at high to max settings with no issue.

This game is CPU bottlenecked. The main problem is the fact that Tarkov only uses like 1 core heavily so your CPU usage will appear to be low but that’s only the overall usage. If you go check the usage PER core you’ll find one core almost maxed out. Ex I have a 9900k and a 2080ti. @ 1440p my gpu usage is like 60% my cpu will appear to be like 30% but when I look at per core in Hwinfo I’ll have one core that is almost pegged at 100% so the 7 other cores are not really being utilized. This is why the new cpus with really good single core performance get 120 fps consistently in Live raids because that one core is just physically faster

Good to see them bring this back this help me a lot

Great vid man!! I know I Get the best tips here! U still use 400 distance when on bigger maps?

Ty for testing!

For some reason when mIP streaming is on i actually have more lags and my game crashes when i extract for 2 min. Support told me to turn it off and all the problems dissapeared.

Thank you so much!!

Great content keep it up!!

i have 2600x ryzen and 2070 super what graphics should i run at? (it would help alot if someone told me)

Hey uh Axel. In your taps under site url, is that moodle dashboard on the far right side?

In the past I wasnt a big fan of mip streaming because it could result in stutter; I think the loading of textures 'can' put more pressure on the CPU, which is usually already struggling with the rest of Tarkov. But I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you have performance problems. Mind that online raids can perform worse/better almost randomly sometimes, and that offline mode isnt really representative (no scav offline mode is easy on CPU, scav offline mode creates CPU load in weird patterns). Gotta go by feel sometimes.

Fantastic video. Thanks bud.

I learned what MIP is and what it does but didn't actually see a true comparison of it on/off...

Can anyone tell me why in GPU engine on MY task manager it says for Tarkov Gpu0-copy instead of saying 3D. My frames are fine but mine reads different then Axel here

Haven't checked this iteration of mip streaming, but without the last one I sometimes was getting BSODs. Mip streaming made the game at least playable for me

Considering how heavy the CPU usage vs gpu usage is in this game, it seems odd to trade cpu usage for gpu usage...

I wonder if disabling mip streaming will increase FPS on 3080; not bottlenecked at all but don't want any more CPU bottlenecks

Hey bro , cool video . Did you say you had a 2070 ? I have the 2070 super and i stutter so ill need mip for me i think.

Using Mip streaming makes my game freeze end raid for few seconds.

ti (the instrunt into the channel rack) and then it crashes the soft soft... Can soone help please?

nevermind ingame settings, whats the ergo on that gun in the background?

@Axel_tv do you over clock cpu at all?

Isnt tarkov heavily cpu bound game anyway? this probably helps very few people, its nice but i think vast majority wont notice an fps improvement

How is your 16 gb of ram using 10 on tarkov i have 16 also and i use like 6 for game not 10

I'm running A 3700x 8c/16t with a 3070ti and 32gb of ddr4 3600mhz ram and found I'v always had bad stutters for some reason on lighthouse more then anywhere but I tried MIP streaming and I was surprised it fix it for me. using high textures with lod set to 3000 and AF to per texture helped alot , with post fx on I still get easy 120fps on all maps besides factory gets double the fps on there.

Okay so I have a question for anyone who can help (tried to give some context so sorry if it’s a lot): I’ve been playing tarkov for a couple years now and I have a system that’s gettin pretty old now (GTX 1060, i7 7700 cpu, 16gb of ram with 3gb of vram). I can run tarkov well enough that it’s playable where maps that have lower performance overall for everyone such as lighthouse and reserve I can get around 40 fps with some minor dips, smaller maps that perform better like factory run perfectly fine at 60 fps or for factory specifically I can get 120. I used to run MIP streaming before they took it out but game seemed to run fine for the most part without it while it was removed, although again being on an older setup I’d like to get the best performance I can. Im not the most knowledgeable when it comes to all this PC tech stuff, so should I keep running low graphics settings like I have been and settle for the at least playable performance I’ve been getting, or should I turn MIP back on and raise my graphics settings up a little bit? Or is there another combo of settings I should try that I might be missing out on that would help?

Спасибо за познавательный контент!

not mip streaming related . i have textures pooping when i get near them . like lod quality is lower then 2

does mip shimming still work?

Ssd hdd how do I select one or is it based on my monitor resolution?

I thought I was the only one using this. It’s great! I even load the maps quicker

Question. Did you ever noticed issues with USB keyboard? Sometimes I'm losing my keyboard controls at the beginning, or during the raid. This happening only in tracov.

thank you so much super viedo

Mip shimming?

Do you think i can run the game easily with a 660 ti, i5 3750k and 8go of ram ?

I love getting like 50 fps on lighthouse even though i have a 3070, tarkov is a great game

So do I turn it off or on?💀

Привет, смотрю тебя на твитче. Скажи пожайлуста, почему с мип стриминговый чёрный экран после рейда?

Axel can you do some tests forcing tarkov to use only physical cores? I got amazing results doing it using process lasso and also using a .bat i created to open tarkov with only physical cores. Also play along the cores would be a good idea, try to remove most load of the core handling tarkov should free some load and help performance.

My system will literally just not cooperate. Been through practically all settings on tarkov. Doesn't max my vram on my 2080. I have 32 gbs of ram 3000hz and an i7 10700k 4.66hz clock. Ram sets at about 59-60% use and cpu is at about 35%. All low textures and low settings and literally can't push passed 70 frames on lighthouse. Not only that but practically every other map will run at barely 80-90 frames with multiple frame drops below or at 60fps

We need to know what your PC is to get a good idea of how it performs. Also you should have went to the same spot on lighthouse to compare FPS.

For me, my CPU is the bottleneck mostly, does that mean I should turn it off?

i cant even play other maps besides factory because i get bsod right after spawn countdown

What’s a good cpu to upgrade to. I was thinking of getting a 10700K because this game is really cpu heavy for me.

I have a really old CPU but a great GPU, what would be the best settings to get some frames? I get maximum frames in the 40s and its painful, im playing 1080p

i put my mip at 1 before the max on both options and its lookin better imo, have they announced the change to unreal 5 yet lol (imagine) but i understand (kind of) on how the graphics in eft suffers bcuz theres so much to the game that it takes from the graphic quality but the stability and optimization for such an old game/engine i don't get ? i think the whole game is complete but they have a very hard time optimizing new features and its taking them a long ass time to figure out.

Totally unrelated, but what's that light you have on the wall in the background?

I only have 3g vram and everytime i start lighthouse my game crashes and i get constant stutters and low fps. Anyone know a fix/settings to make it better?

for me mip streaming make tarkov insta crash when entering a raid unless i use it with minimum amount of the two sliders

My pc is so shit if I turn on mip it will probably crash me but I will try it. I’m using vsync haven’t crashed in weeks. If I start crashing il disable it

they add stuff that load up the cpu even tho cpu is already bottlenecked

I wish this game's minimum requirements matched those on the website, when buying it I though it'd work great since it's on unity but it really seems like you need all the fastest, highest-capacity RAM, storage and processing units... Hopefully the upcoming games like Road To Vostok and Project Quarantine won't be as bad when it'll come to minimum requirements...

great!

Actually, game started to run really good since that update

Appears the default is the distorted app wNice tutorialch softed terrible.

When I enable MIP streaming I have hard freezes until I tab out and back in at some point during every single raid.

10900x // 32 gb ram 3200mhz // 3080 founders // i get 60-70 frames it sucks

You do realize you can click the highlighted number above handbook and it'll clear out those numbers lol. Just like a "read all" button.

I have 24gb of vram, wonder if I need this 🤔

Didn't try it on the new patch

still rocking the 1060 so i will be testing this.

My game stutters so much so I need this

I still really wish we could get the old blurry textures that you could do in the past

How are you getting so many frames on lighthouse? I have a 9900k@5.2 all core and a 3900 with 32gb of ram. I'm going to be building my 12900k rig when I'm not feeling so lazy. I swear I used to get more frames with a 2080ti. I get 50-90 frames at 1440p with performance DLSS and everything maxed. I get lower than 60 when I use scopes with zoom.

As long as you got the vram and ram leave mip off.

I recommend to all the people I help in Tarkov to turn Mip Streaming on and to up the buffer and disk limit based on their PC specs. I use it regardless of what map I am on, it offsets a lot of memory from the GPU and system in general and gives me a stable 60+ with the ability to then spend more on higher AA and Resampling (x4SS) which I think is much more important in Tarkov. Having the ability to see people off in the distance and not have them be a little blob blending in with the background. Or when aiming up, the red dot does not look like a ball of yarn! It's just way more important to me. All that said, Mip Streaming does by no means solve some of the existing memory issues Tarkov has. Obviously, with more updates, they will get better and fill the holes. But with Streets on the way (another massive map) and with more interactive objects and physics-based environmental stuff on the way. Memory, both CPU/GPU and RAM is going to become a big issue moving forward. They plan to link maps together, have interactive physics, doors that can be blown off the frames and covers that can be destroyed. All that good stuff! But all of that comes at a big cost, especially in an MP game where basically every action even if you are not a part of it needs to be relayed back to your PC in some capacity. When you have random physics and bigger maps? It all gets costly to PCs and even to servers. I also want to say that Tarkov as it stands, is the texture artist they have? They do just a phenomenal job of wrapping these 3D objects! My hat really goes off to BSG's team for making this game as playable as it is in its current state while looking very photogenic.

Axek how tf are you getting 140fps at all lol i get 90 max

My GPU is always loaded 60% at max regardless of the settings

what is your gpu?

You would think with the amount of money Tarkov has made they would optimise the game and not focus on new game modes

День добрый. Я не как не могу точно настроить игру не знаю правильно или нет. Играю первый раз.. И очень сложно 🙄 моя система. 12700k msi 3060ti 32gb ddr4 3600mh fury. Есть кокие то специальные настроики в игре?

My cpu usage is always 100% while in tarkov.

I've been doing this all wrong I guess. I have 12 gigs of gpu memory, but a more mid to low tier cpu, I should be turning this off to help my cpu

Sadly with how the game is so cpu reliant the majority of these settings will not be of much help, mip streaming, dlss, fsr, other than for resolutions above 1080p, I'd be completely willing to go a while with no content updates if it meant they focused on the utilisation of the ram and cpu, especially with how lighthouse's culling is broken now, meaning half the playerbase cant even run the map without blue screens, even on 64gb ram

I think the box example is simply LOD…

so whats the best setting? i have 1070 8gb and i5 12400f , 16gb ram

Mip scheeming?!

i activate it, and get crash in raid 3 time in a row. Never again.

Really the cpu is what's strained the most while playing tarkov unless you have a seriously low end gpu. In most cases enabling mip doesn't make sense if its causing more strain on the cpu. Check out the new amd 3d cpu.

MIP what?

what about AMD users

а зачем тебе норд впн? мм

Can I install the game now? uninstalled 2/3 weeks ago from insane stutter and played for 4 years at 60+fps

Аксель Для рассеян можно перевод?

Great video

Cheers

Why are you saying -streaming šo weird>? Shiming???

Are you saying MIP SHIMMING or Streaming? lol

For whatever reason I’m getting 120+ except on woods when I look into the centre of the map it gets laggy. When I look to the outside of the map my fps are super quick and snappy. Weird. Must be a texture loading thing.

I9 9900k n a 2080 super here, been using dads settings without mip for awhile now. Cpu usually around 45% but gpu like 33% lol Havnt had a crash on lighthouse anymore since i lowered textures to medium n shadows low Think it was only crashing when i would watch buddys stream on discord and id be streaming on disc.. so weird only map i ever have issues on but seems to be good. Crazzy, great vid and very good info once again big Axe

those are two different places on the map thats why its different fps

Tarkov developers are usnig NASA supercomputers to develop this game

Can you show your pc characteristics?

Reading comments here; I've got a 3060, i7 11700F, 16gb ram, but usually hover at around 60 fps and I have tried everything! No idea what my problem is!

“Lower range” 1550 ti lol. Still running my 1070. Seems fine without shimming I think. Never used it.
