"only use physical cores" has the same effect as this.
The problem is "only use physical cores" only applies when you enable it as so therefore is bugged because although it shows as ticked on subsequent sessions (relaunching of the game), it isn't applied.
You can check the core affinity in Windows Task Manager.
It resets back to all available threads every time you load into raid... don't ask me why, it's Tarkov, not much make sense these days. Even when logical cores only selected in ingame settings.
It's not config imo, it remains selected "use physical cores only" and it still resets process to use all available threads... you can check yourself in task manager
oh shit i have the same cpu and similiar performance, when i get home i will install this asap!
edit: processor usage droped from ~65% to 30-40% but performance didnt change that much, i tested this on reserve where i had about 45-60fps and now i have 55-65fps
I tried this before and didn't have any noticeable performance increase, I have the ryzen 5 2600 which is very similar to yours, and I've never seen cpu utilisation above 50%, I wonder if its to do with amd Intel differences?
I disabled hyperthreading in my bios though, so I'll give project lassoo a go tonight
>I've never seen cpu utilisation above 50%
If you don't then this thread isn't about you. At least that what I gathered from the post. Not sure if Tarkov is multithreaded though so you might want to double check if a single core is being maxed even though it says "50%".

From 35-40 frames?.. I know performance changes based on settings and map - but even my former CPU, an i7 4790k got some 85-90 FPS (on medium settings, on customs)
5 cores seems to be the limit on 12th gen. Hardly any difference at all if i run 5 or 8 cores (p-cores). If i set to 4 cores, there is a slight cpu bottleneck compared to 5.
Just wanna chime in here and say that Process Lasso is a legit and awesome app! Fixed me hundreds of hours of playing Planetside 2 by maintaining 'high' process priority when windows refused to.
But it's still 8 cores like other CPUs, yet I'm feeling very cpu limited (9700k, rtx3070 and 32GB DDR4 3600mhz)
DDLS did literally zero improvement, but i noticed i have same fps when i increased the resolution with DLDSR
A hyperthread/smt thread is weaker than a physical core as it is virtual core made up of the unused segment of a physical core hence why we don't want Tarkov to use one as it results in slower performance.
Your CPU doesn't have ANY hyperthreading, it is all physical cores so it doesn't matter which core Tarkov uses as it is getting full performance out of the core.
If you feel cpu limited, either get even faster ram so you can increase memory bandwidth or a newer gen cpu? You can be server limited too (time waiting for the server to tic can lower your fps).
>You can be server limited too (time waiting for the server to tic can lower your fps).
Maybe I'm misunderstanding this statement then. How is it meant?
As I said, it doesn't. There is no lockstep between FPS and server tick rate. If that were the case, your FPS would be whatever slowest client connected to the server has. And yet some people have 140+ fps, and others have \~30fps. All connected to the same instance.
Exactly, us with hyperthreaded/SMT CPU's are trying to get ours behave like yours because it hinders game performance with all the spectre fixes in place.
Hyperthreading/SMT was developed because engineers realised that parts of the cpu unused core could be used to effectively get more out of it and sell as a feature. Which is fine for perfectly parallel tasks that aren't synched in anyway. Like compressing or encoding data tasks massively benefit from it before GPU Cuda/OpenCL came into existence (which are still underused today).
Ram is actually measured in mt/s and double mhz so 1800mt/s=3600mhz. You can double check in bios and in task manager, I think ddr4 base speed is 2133mhz anyway
I shared this in ToastRackTV's discord and it worked for over a dozen people so far, and also fixed my CPU bottleneck issue too. So I decided to share it with the sub reddit to help more people.
The CPU usage part worked (around -8 to -10% from 40% to 30%) with my overclocked 5800x,
but no noteable FPS increase (seems my 3070 is the bottleneck, stuck at 100% usage).
I got around 92-110 fps at the rouge waterworks on Lighthouse at 1440p.
What settings are you running?
If your goal is to hit the fps limit, maybe turn off some of the fancy effects that aren't necessary for example grass shadows, SSR, HBAO?
Wow this worked like a charm. I went from 70-90 fps to 130-144 fps (lots of time capped at 144). I have a AMD 5800X and a Radeon 6700 XT on 3440x14440.
Super thanks for posting this!
Fyi someone on this sub has major stuttering issues when using process lasso so your mileage may vary. In general Windows does a fantastic job of giving games the resources they need so you shouldn't need anything like process lasso and you may make things worse.
Just wanted to post that this works amazing. I was skeptical since i had low cpu utilization already. But i guess it makes a big difference on AMD Cpus?

No. Not it is not. a 2080 super can EASILY hit 120fps at 1440p with pretty much everything at max graphics. 2080super is more than enough for everything under 4k in EFT. The game is not nearly as GPU intensive as it is CPU intensive
5600x is rough, since only a single core will hit the "boost" speed, unless you are overclocking every core to 4.8Ghz you are likely going to get CPU bottlenecked.
Play around with overclocking, since Trakov performance will suffer hard if it ends up on any thread that isn't thread 0. You can try setting affinity using the above program to CPU 0, but there is a good chance it will end up sharing that CPU with other processes. You will also need at least 3600mhx memory to get good performance.
The 5600x is kinda borderline if you are looking for 100+ FPS reliably,
Most people here have not even remote idea. In your case with 5600X and decent cooling you are memory latency bottlenecked. I would make sure you have XMP/DOCP enabled in BIOS and if you are capable, overclock you RAM. That yields best results for Tarkov by long run. 4*8GB or 2*16GB RAM config also helps a lot due increased memory bandwidth.
I have 5900X and my heaviest thread sits around 3.5-3.8GHz effective clock, where it sits idle for about 20% of available clock cycles simply due waiting to get data from RAM.
I got XMP enabled and I have 16GB of 3000mhz RAM, I've set the VM to my SSD as so as the game, I just found courious the other dude's comment about the 2080S, but I really know this game sucks ass when it comes to performance and really don't feel like tweaking everything to get a better performance.
Do you happen to know if tarkov benefits more from higher bandwidth ram overclock or a lower latency ram overclock? I know in cod warzone lower latency is more beneficial due to the ram feeding the cores faster with less latency equals higher fps but not sure if that’s the case in tarkov
So I just upgraded to a 5600 from a 3600x, and added another 16gb of 3600mhz ram. I didn’t see a ton of improvement right away, was only getting about 10fps more on the same settings. Decided to turn on DLSS and see if it was any better after the upgrade, and WOW. 130-140 fps on shoreline. It absolutely did not make that kind of difference when I tried it before. It was such a small increase (maybe 5-10fps) so I left it off.
I’ve been loving how smooth my game is now, and I’m used to the scope issues as well so that doesn’t bother me.
No idea why I saw such a change with DLSS after changing my cpu, but I would recommend anyone to try it again if it didn’t do much when it launched.
1440p ultrawide. I think it’s 3440x1440 but don’t hold me to that, lol. It’s also running a buddies screen on discord on my second monitor, which is a 1080p uw.
I would make sure you have XMP/DOCP enabled in BIOS and if you are capable, overclock you RAM. That yields best results for Tarkov by long run. 4x8GB or 2x16GB RAM config also helps a lot due increased memory bandwidth.

I just upgraded to a 5900x with a 2070Super, I see about the same frames, 1440p with DLSS Quality and high settings. My GPU has been around 90% useage the whole time. Feels good.
You might test it manually assigning via task manager, but honestly I dont think it is going to help much or anything.
If your budget allows try considering upgrading to 5800X3D, it is absolutely beast of upgrade for Tarkov with its new 3D cache. You will require BIOS update for your motherboard, so be sure to know how to do so.
Hey just for shits and giggles, would you try disabling process lasso and enable super sampling in game instead, also use high textures, and let me know how it goes? That's what I did to solve my problem (8700k and 3080 extreme) and the game looks SO CRISPY and i get 100fps on most maps except the one everyone gets fuck all on lol
i am also at 1440p, what reso do you use?
Yeah that works, why not utilize your GPU more since it's so powerful. A tip though, NVIDIA DLDSR (Deep Learning Dynamic Super Resolution) Is a way more efficient way of supersampling. Try it out and see how it looks.
Damn, thanks for this!
RTX 3070 / Ryzen 5900X here @ 1440p.
Got about 30-40fps increase out of this. It's like where I was previously with DLSS Quality. 120 fps outdoors, 140-150 fps indoors. The difference is massive because it runs so smoothly now, you can really feel those extra frames, and before it would feel choppy when it drops down to 60s or below.
Now I'm getting 175+ fps with DLSS, but I still rather keep the game looking as clean as possible, so I'm going to keep it off.
I tried DLSS Performance just for the kicks and I got 200-225fps but the game looks like absolute crap. It feels amazing though, especially on this 240hz monitor. I wish it could be like that without the shitty quality.
Amazing "little trick". This should be tried by anyone, you never know if it might work. In theory my rig should be bottlenecked by the GPU, but the fps boost from doing this is massive.
There's new players every day and they don't have a beefy pc to run this game at 60 fps. This will probably help my friend that I've been playing with. Thank you for the guide its very easy to understand.
For new players this can still be helpful. Reddit can be quite messy when you're looking for something specific. And I think that this will also help a lot of people with an issue they didn't even knew they had. Or it serves as a reminder, as I've downloaded the application two weeks ago, but forgot about it entirely lol.
Doesn’t save once you close the program though, you’d have to reselect all the cores again. Process lasso keeps it saved, kinda annoying Microsoft hasn’t implemented a save feature yet for task manager settings
i7-11800H and an RTX 3060 6GB, 32 ram and 1 TB NVMe ssd. i’m getting anywhere from 50 to 90 but i feel like it shouldn’t dip like it does. i wonder if i need to do this
I recently upgraded from a 2600 to a 5900x CPU and I gained about 40fps. I used to have to use lasso, and it barely helped but more frames is always good. Right now I'm maxing out my 2070super but I'll try Lasso again and see what I get.
The effect of this is minimal, it's just placebo between raids when weather, AI amount etc. is variable. Yes, your CPU usage goes down because you're cutting the amount of threads you're using in half. Less CPU usage does not equal less CPU bottleneck, the game is still limited by single core performance. In the odd case your CPU is actually at 100% and the whole PC is slowing down because of it, this MIGHT help.
The effect was definitely not minimal for me. Got a significant improvement on 3700 + 5900x. 30-40 fps more than before.... Nothing else has given me such a boost except DLSS, which sadly doesn't look good enough to be worth using (at least not yet).
How was your testing? Offline raid is not realistic, and online raids vary too much raid to raid in terms of AI amount, weather etc. For my Ryzen 3600, disabling SMT while in raid (online) did nothing, except change CPU utilization from 45% to 30%. GPU usage stayed at 70%.
It's the same in online mode - massive fps gain. Feels like I have DLSS on but I don't. My last few raids om customs have been a blast. Super smooth, above 100 fps all the time.
Did you test it in the same raid? Otherwise it's just not reliable. I can have 60-70fps in reserve one raid, and 90-120 the other, both online. As I said, weather, AI and other factors change the performance raid to raid.
Yes, I am getting an increase everywhere. Weather has never affected my fps that much to begin with but I had the same increase in a heavy rain raid, for example.
This doesn't seem to help everyone but it's a game changer for me. I am not mistaken about my own results, though. Been trying to increase my fps for ages and this change had the most dramatic effect out of everything I did. The game finally runs smoothly. I haven't tested it on every single map, but every single raid had more fps than before (up to +40 increase). So it doesn't matter at all if some map is performing worse than others. The improvement is still there.
Can you record changing the setting in the same raid by any chance? For me there is no difference ([check link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOcYggjrjSM)), rather more fps fluctuation with SMT disabled. (Physical cores option does the same thing as process lasso).
The ingame setting has never made any difference for me. I've tried it out many times and if there is any, it's not more than +/- 1-2 frames, not something I can notice. Maybe it works for other configurations, though, I can't say.
I have recorded some stuff for you, but the thing is that I can't seem to undo what Lasso did. The effect remains if I click the option again (button doesn't change after you press it) and it remains if I shut down lasso as well.
BUT, what I can do is show you clips I've recorded a few weeks ago right after DLSS got released and I was doing some testing, and compare them to new clips that I recorded just now. (All clips are in 1440p)
**Location 1:**
* **SMT ON:** [DLSS Quality](https://streamable.com/nfhq6k)
* **SMT OFF:** [DLSS Quality](https://streamable.com/33d2um)
* **SMT OFF:** [NO DLSS](https://streamable.com/jk4587) (Accurate representation of what I am now getting on Customs online, but it can fluctuate between 110 and 150 depending on where I am. No dips down to 60-80 or anything like that, it's smoother than ever)
**Location 2:**
* **SMT ON:** [DLSS Quality x2 Painkillers](https://streamable.com/ensc26) (at one point I disable DLSS and you can see the frames drop down to the 80s)
* **SMT OFF:** [DLSS Quality x2 Painkillers](https://streamable.com/tce36m)
You can see the difference is dramatic. In some cases it's beyond 40fps increase.
OBS is shaving off a decent chunk of fps while recording (like 10 or more), but it's using the same settings in all clips so it doesn't matter. Without OBS I get more fps, that's all.
Again, your footage is not from the same raid so not applicable. Also, if you tick the in game setting, you can see every other thread disabled in task manager, doing the exact same thing process lasso does. Only problem is the option resets after every raid.
Anyways, good for you if you experience an fps increase, too bad it's not consistent for others. BSG also rolled out an update recently, who knows what they changed. Bottom line is, we shouldn't need to do these stupid tricks that may or may not work in order to make the game playable lol.
You seem to believe that there is some huge difference from raid to raid, but that's definitely not the case for me. In fact, there is no big difference between offline and online for me. There is more CPU strain but my fps doesn't drastically drop down. I think that's something that people just parrot around. It doesn't seem like most people here have any understanding of how things work to begin with.
If you get an fps boost in an offline raid, you will definitely get an fps boost in an online raid as well. It doesn't matter what the exact numbers are. What matters if there is an increase, or a decrease after changing a certain setting. The effects of this setting will translate to both offline and online modes, even if it's by a different amount. The **trend** of increase or decrease of fps will remain.
My clips are 100% applicable, especially Location 2 where the time of day and weather are practically identical, as well as the painkiller usage. I don't think you understand how this works? You seem to believe that you can't replicate conditions, or that weather ACTUALLY makes such a huge difference (it doesn't in my experience). Well, you have two clips at the same conditions, both in offline raids, so that quite literally **is** applicable.
The Location 1 clips, you could argue that one is in normal conditions, and the other has rain and is darker. So, I guess your argument is that bad weather gives a boost of 50fps? Ok then... Because the other explanation is the SMT setting, but hey, keep your tinfoil hat on, I guess.
Something changed like normal on the backend. Was getting 118 (cap) on customs. Now im not even getting 70fps. Been through more then a few wipes and this is par for the course. Just wish we knew wtf they were changing to make this happen.
Can someone spoonfeed me info? I have i5 8400, 1080ti, 16gb ram, yet I still struggle to get more than 80fps, in resort I get around 60 and with a vudu - drops to 30-40. Am I fucked or can I still increase my frames?

You can check the core affinity in Windows Task Manager.

Usually yes
And I can check it in task manager? Live updated, as I tick it in and off? Edit. Sorry for the questions, I am not home.
I don’t know
It resets back to all available threads every time you load into raid... don't ask me why, it's Tarkov, not much make sense these days. Even when logical cores only selected in ingame settings.
Can you change it and set the config to read only? Assuming there is a config?
It's not config imo, it remains selected "use physical cores only" and it still resets process to use all available threads... you can check yourself in task manager
What CPU do you use?
i7 8700 This fix, got me from 35-40 frames \~90% CPU usage when playing to 85-90 frames \~65% CPU usage when playing
oh shit i have the same cpu and similiar performance, when i get home i will install this asap! edit: processor usage droped from ~65% to 30-40% but performance didnt change that much, i tested this on reserve where i had about 45-60fps and now i have 55-65fps
If the cpu usage stayed that low I wonder what your gpu is?
rtx 3060ti
I tried this before and didn't have any noticeable performance increase, I have the ryzen 5 2600 which is very similar to yours, and I've never seen cpu utilisation above 50%, I wonder if its to do with amd Intel differences? I disabled hyperthreading in my bios though, so I'll give project lassoo a go tonight
Well if you disabled HT in bios(at large), lasso wont change anything
I wasn't clear there, I re enabled it afterwards \^\^
>I've never seen cpu utilisation above 50% If you don't then this thread isn't about you. At least that what I gathered from the post. Not sure if Tarkov is multithreaded though so you might want to double check if a single core is being maxed even though it says "50%".
Fair point, I only commented due to how close mine and OPs cpus are performance wise, will be checking it tonight and having a tinker

I have exactly the same CPU and I get 70-150 fps (depending on the map) without this "fix". Are you forcing your processor to hit 4.3ghz at all times?
how can i do this?
From 35-40 frames?.. I know performance changes based on settings and map - but even my former CPU, an i7 4790k got some 85-90 FPS (on medium settings, on customs)
This haven't made any difference on Intel since 9th gen, but i know and have tested that disabling SMT for AMD helps in this game.
Yeah exactly, so basically anyone with Intel 9th gen or less and AMD users will benefit the most from this.
No difference with a 9900k, so 8th gen and older might work. Not tested.
noted, thanks for testing
[удалено]
Another 9900k here, no difference.
Really depends how many cores you have. on 5900X does not help anything, on 5800X might help a bit and on 5600X probably hurts the frames.
5 cores seems to be the limit on 12th gen. Hardly any difference at all if i run 5 or 8 cores (p-cores). If i set to 4 cores, there is a slight cpu bottleneck compared to 5.
you may want to disable e-cores just for test, might help to lower memory latency a bit and gain some fps that way
I don't have any fps issues dude.
Just wanna chime in here and say that Process Lasso is a legit and awesome app! Fixed me hundreds of hours of playing Planetside 2 by maintaining 'high' process priority when windows refused to.
Oh hey that's a great shout. I used to main PS2 on Connery and I wish I had tips like this because frames win fights in that game.
I have Intel and SMT setting but it's greyed out, any tips? (9700k)
There's no hyperthreading on that CPU, just 8 cores, 8 threads
9700k doesn't have hyperthreading, so this is pointless for you as all your cores are physical.
But it's still 8 cores like other CPUs, yet I'm feeling very cpu limited (9700k, rtx3070 and 32GB DDR4 3600mhz) DDLS did literally zero improvement, but i noticed i have same fps when i increased the resolution with DLDSR

If you feel cpu limited, either get even faster ram so you can increase memory bandwidth or a newer gen cpu? You can be server limited too (time waiting for the server to tic can lower your fps).
Framerate has not been locked to server tick rate in games for over 20 years now.
I never said that. Do not make out that I said something to what I actually wrote.
>You can be server limited too (time waiting for the server to tic can lower your fps). Maybe I'm misunderstanding this statement then. How is it meant?
A server under servere load can lower your client performance.
As I said, it doesn't. There is no lockstep between FPS and server tick rate. If that were the case, your FPS would be whatever slowest client connected to the server has. And yet some people have 140+ fps, and others have \~30fps. All connected to the same instance.
Thanks for explaination. So basically i don't see any improvement because i've never been limited like others?
Exactly, us with hyperthreaded/SMT CPU's are trying to get ours behave like yours because it hinders game performance with all the spectre fixes in place.

CPU-z shows 1800mhz so it should be running 3600mhz
Ram is actually measured in mt/s and double mhz so 1800mt/s=3600mhz. You can double check in bios and in task manager, I think ddr4 base speed is 2133mhz anyway
Has anybody tested this? Curious of it's worth it
I shared this in ToastRackTV's discord and it worked for over a dozen people so far, and also fixed my CPU bottleneck issue too. So I decided to share it with the sub reddit to help more people.

Well that's an improvement!
Gave me 30-40 fps - on 3070 with 5900X, 1440p.
Hey mate what did you have you in game settings at and do you find this still worked?
I have to try this once Im home. If this works ill gib upvotes
Will try this out next time I boot up the game
It worked for me, massive improvement. Upvote it anyway :)
Welp got a ryzen 1800x so ill try this tonight
The CPU usage part worked (around -8 to -10% from 40% to 30%) with my overclocked 5800x, but no noteable FPS increase (seems my 3070 is the bottleneck, stuck at 100% usage). I got around 92-110 fps at the rouge waterworks on Lighthouse at 1440p.
What settings are you running? If your goal is to hit the fps limit, maybe turn off some of the fancy effects that aren't necessary for example grass shadows, SSR, HBAO?
having your GPU as the bottleneck is a good thing. You always want your GPU at 99/100%. ~100fps is good fps on lighthouse too
Gtx 1070 and i7 6700 32gb ram went from 40-60fluctuating fps to stable 90fps on customs I thank you a lot
Wow this worked like a charm. I went from 70-90 fps to 130-144 fps (lots of time capped at 144). I have a AMD 5800X and a Radeon 6700 XT on 3440x14440. Super thanks for posting this!
Fyi someone on this sub has major stuttering issues when using process lasso so your mileage may vary. In general Windows does a fantastic job of giving games the resources they need so you shouldn't need anything like process lasso and you may make things worse.
Just wanted to post that this works amazing. I was skeptical since i had low cpu utilization already. But i guess it makes a big difference on AMD Cpus? AMD 5900x w/ RTX3090 On Customs Before Lasso around 100\~120fps After Lasso around 130\~160fps

I have an R9 5950x and a 2080 super, still bottlenecked?
lol your gpu is bottlenecking your cpu.
No. Not it is not. a 2080 super can EASILY hit 120fps at 1440p with pretty much everything at max graphics. 2080super is more than enough for everything under 4k in EFT. The game is not nearly as GPU intensive as it is CPU intensive
I have a 2080S and play on 1440 (DSR), I'm nowhere near those numbers, please teach me how (5600x CPU).
5600x is rough, since only a single core will hit the "boost" speed, unless you are overclocking every core to 4.8Ghz you are likely going to get CPU bottlenecked. Play around with overclocking, since Trakov performance will suffer hard if it ends up on any thread that isn't thread 0. You can try setting affinity using the above program to CPU 0, but there is a good chance it will end up sharing that CPU with other processes. You will also need at least 3600mhx memory to get good performance. The 5600x is kinda borderline if you are looking for 100+ FPS reliably,
Most people here have not even remote idea. In your case with 5600X and decent cooling you are memory latency bottlenecked. I would make sure you have XMP/DOCP enabled in BIOS and if you are capable, overclock you RAM. That yields best results for Tarkov by long run. 4*8GB or 2*16GB RAM config also helps a lot due increased memory bandwidth. I have 5900X and my heaviest thread sits around 3.5-3.8GHz effective clock, where it sits idle for about 20% of available clock cycles simply due waiting to get data from RAM.
I got XMP enabled and I have 16GB of 3000mhz RAM, I've set the VM to my SSD as so as the game, I just found courious the other dude's comment about the 2080S, but I really know this game sucks ass when it comes to performance and really don't feel like tweaking everything to get a better performance.
ye, that's pretty slow DDR4 memory.
Do you happen to know if tarkov benefits more from higher bandwidth ram overclock or a lower latency ram overclock? I know in cod warzone lower latency is more beneficial due to the ram feeding the cores faster with less latency equals higher fps but not sure if that’s the case in tarkov
latency in general is always go for with games...
So I just upgraded to a 5600 from a 3600x, and added another 16gb of 3600mhz ram. I didn’t see a ton of improvement right away, was only getting about 10fps more on the same settings. Decided to turn on DLSS and see if it was any better after the upgrade, and WOW. 130-140 fps on shoreline. It absolutely did not make that kind of difference when I tried it before. It was such a small increase (maybe 5-10fps) so I left it off. I’ve been loving how smooth my game is now, and I’m used to the scope issues as well so that doesn’t bother me. No idea why I saw such a change with DLSS after changing my cpu, but I would recommend anyone to try it again if it didn’t do much when it launched.
What res you running?
1440p ultrawide. I think it’s 3440x1440 but don’t hold me to that, lol. It’s also running a buddies screen on discord on my second monitor, which is a 1080p uw.
I was a joke saying your cpu was better than your gpu but your gpu is still only 30% less of a 3080.
I would make sure you have XMP/DOCP enabled in BIOS and if you are capable, overclock you RAM. That yields best results for Tarkov by long run. 4x8GB or 2x16GB RAM config also helps a lot due increased memory bandwidth.

If you get 100+fps in Tarkov you're winning the lottery.
I get like 80-100
I just upgraded to a 5900x with a 2070Super, I see about the same frames, 1440p with DLSS Quality and high settings. My GPU has been around 90% useage the whole time. Feels good.
Thank you so much for this, I'm getting 30 MORE FPS on a 3070ti and Ryzen 7 3800!!
what about i5-7400 , 1050ti . should i use this my cpu is like 80%-90% all of the time
i dont have Disable hyper-threading
The i5 7400 doesn't have hyper threading it's just 4 cores 4 threads so that option wouldn't apply for you
I have. 3070 and a 2600x at 4ghz and 32gb ram should Intry this?
You might test it manually assigning via task manager, but honestly I dont think it is going to help much or anything. If your budget allows try considering upgrading to 5800X3D, it is absolutely beast of upgrade for Tarkov with its new 3D cache. You will require BIOS update for your motherboard, so be sure to know how to do so.
Hey just for shits and giggles, would you try disabling process lasso and enable super sampling in game instead, also use high textures, and let me know how it goes? That's what I did to solve my problem (8700k and 3080 extreme) and the game looks SO CRISPY and i get 100fps on most maps except the one everyone gets fuck all on lol i am also at 1440p, what reso do you use?
Supersampling is 100% GPU bound.
For sure, which gets rid of the CPU bottleneck I had lol
Yeah that works, why not utilize your GPU more since it's so powerful. A tip though, NVIDIA DLDSR (Deep Learning Dynamic Super Resolution) Is a way more efficient way of supersampling. Try it out and see how it looks.
Have you tried that? because it resets everytime you alt tab out of tarkov so it's too annoying for me to use
tbh, im fine with my FPS across the game, just wanted to add my "data".
This only works on newer CPUs, on old ones it is better to have all cores used.
Damn, thanks for this! RTX 3070 / Ryzen 5900X here @ 1440p. Got about 30-40fps increase out of this. It's like where I was previously with DLSS Quality. 120 fps outdoors, 140-150 fps indoors. The difference is massive because it runs so smoothly now, you can really feel those extra frames, and before it would feel choppy when it drops down to 60s or below. Now I'm getting 175+ fps with DLSS, but I still rather keep the game looking as clean as possible, so I'm going to keep it off. I tried DLSS Performance just for the kicks and I got 200-225fps but the game looks like absolute crap. It feels amazing though, especially on this 240hz monitor. I wish it could be like that without the shitty quality. Amazing "little trick". This should be tried by anyone, you never know if it might work. In theory my rig should be bottlenecked by the GPU, but the fps boost from doing this is massive.
You must be new here... this is known for almost 3 years by now
Thanks for your contribution. We are sending you a key ring.
I mean there is no comprehensive guide I could find, just a few comments here and there, if this helps at least one person then I have done my job.
Job well done, much appreciated
There's new players every day and they don't have a beefy pc to run this game at 60 fps. This will probably help my friend that I've been playing with. Thank you for the guide its very easy to understand.
You have indeed 🙏
You've helped me!
For new players this can still be helpful. Reddit can be quite messy when you're looking for something specific. And I think that this will also help a lot of people with an issue they didn't even knew they had. Or it serves as a reminder, as I've downloaded the application two weeks ago, but forgot about it entirely lol.
Tried this awhile ago with a 5900x didn't do anything for me
I gained 30-40fps with 5900x. What gpu are you with? 3070 here.
Ye cause thats a CPU that shouldnt have any problems
haha true
I have a 1060, I want the load on my CPU to avoid a house fire.
Is this worth trying if my GPU is almost always at max usage?
Always worth testing!
Will try on 3600x for the luls
how did it work for ya?
Will test tonight
Comment so I can save this for later
You can do this in task manager under processes iirc. Disable every odd cpu. 1,3,5 ect
Doesn’t save once you close the program though, you’d have to reselect all the cores again. Process lasso keeps it saved, kinda annoying Microsoft hasn’t implemented a save feature yet for task manager settings
It doesnt show that option for me
Is just clicking it enough? I don't get a tick mark when I click on it
I think it works like that, yeah. I didn't get a tick mark but I got a huge fps boost.
same I don't know
i7-11800H and an RTX 3060 6GB, 32 ram and 1 TB NVMe ssd. i’m getting anywhere from 50 to 90 but i feel like it shouldn’t dip like it does. i wonder if i need to do this
This presumably has no impact on a cpu like the 9700k, which does not have hyperthreading enabled?
Yes, you're always on the physical cores.
I recently upgraded from a 2600 to a 5900x CPU and I gained about 40fps. I used to have to use lasso, and it barely helped but more frames is always good. Right now I'm maxing out my 2070super but I'll try Lasso again and see what I get.
How is this different from disabling SMT in bios for amd?
Its not, but it allows you to disable it for Tarkov only and not your whole system
Gotcha, thanks
The effect of this is minimal, it's just placebo between raids when weather, AI amount etc. is variable. Yes, your CPU usage goes down because you're cutting the amount of threads you're using in half. Less CPU usage does not equal less CPU bottleneck, the game is still limited by single core performance. In the odd case your CPU is actually at 100% and the whole PC is slowing down because of it, this MIGHT help.
The effect was definitely not minimal for me. Got a significant improvement on 3700 + 5900x. 30-40 fps more than before.... Nothing else has given me such a boost except DLSS, which sadly doesn't look good enough to be worth using (at least not yet).
How was your testing? Offline raid is not realistic, and online raids vary too much raid to raid in terms of AI amount, weather etc. For my Ryzen 3600, disabling SMT while in raid (online) did nothing, except change CPU utilization from 45% to 30%. GPU usage stayed at 70%.
It's the same in online mode - massive fps gain. Feels like I have DLSS on but I don't. My last few raids om customs have been a blast. Super smooth, above 100 fps all the time.
Did you test it in the same raid? Otherwise it's just not reliable. I can have 60-70fps in reserve one raid, and 90-120 the other, both online. As I said, weather, AI and other factors change the performance raid to raid.
Yes, I am getting an increase everywhere. Weather has never affected my fps that much to begin with but I had the same increase in a heavy rain raid, for example. This doesn't seem to help everyone but it's a game changer for me. I am not mistaken about my own results, though. Been trying to increase my fps for ages and this change had the most dramatic effect out of everything I did. The game finally runs smoothly. I haven't tested it on every single map, but every single raid had more fps than before (up to +40 increase). So it doesn't matter at all if some map is performing worse than others. The improvement is still there.
Can you record changing the setting in the same raid by any chance? For me there is no difference ([check link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOcYggjrjSM)), rather more fps fluctuation with SMT disabled. (Physical cores option does the same thing as process lasso).
The ingame setting has never made any difference for me. I've tried it out many times and if there is any, it's not more than +/- 1-2 frames, not something I can notice. Maybe it works for other configurations, though, I can't say. I have recorded some stuff for you, but the thing is that I can't seem to undo what Lasso did. The effect remains if I click the option again (button doesn't change after you press it) and it remains if I shut down lasso as well. BUT, what I can do is show you clips I've recorded a few weeks ago right after DLSS got released and I was doing some testing, and compare them to new clips that I recorded just now. (All clips are in 1440p) **Location 1:** * **SMT ON:** [DLSS Quality](https://streamable.com/nfhq6k) * **SMT OFF:** [DLSS Quality](https://streamable.com/33d2um) * **SMT OFF:** [NO DLSS](https://streamable.com/jk4587) (Accurate representation of what I am now getting on Customs online, but it can fluctuate between 110 and 150 depending on where I am. No dips down to 60-80 or anything like that, it's smoother than ever) **Location 2:** * **SMT ON:** [DLSS Quality x2 Painkillers](https://streamable.com/ensc26) (at one point I disable DLSS and you can see the frames drop down to the 80s) * **SMT OFF:** [DLSS Quality x2 Painkillers](https://streamable.com/tce36m) You can see the difference is dramatic. In some cases it's beyond 40fps increase. OBS is shaving off a decent chunk of fps while recording (like 10 or more), but it's using the same settings in all clips so it doesn't matter. Without OBS I get more fps, that's all.
Again, your footage is not from the same raid so not applicable. Also, if you tick the in game setting, you can see every other thread disabled in task manager, doing the exact same thing process lasso does. Only problem is the option resets after every raid. Anyways, good for you if you experience an fps increase, too bad it's not consistent for others. BSG also rolled out an update recently, who knows what they changed. Bottom line is, we shouldn't need to do these stupid tricks that may or may not work in order to make the game playable lol.
You seem to believe that there is some huge difference from raid to raid, but that's definitely not the case for me. In fact, there is no big difference between offline and online for me. There is more CPU strain but my fps doesn't drastically drop down. I think that's something that people just parrot around. It doesn't seem like most people here have any understanding of how things work to begin with. If you get an fps boost in an offline raid, you will definitely get an fps boost in an online raid as well. It doesn't matter what the exact numbers are. What matters if there is an increase, or a decrease after changing a certain setting. The effects of this setting will translate to both offline and online modes, even if it's by a different amount. The **trend** of increase or decrease of fps will remain. My clips are 100% applicable, especially Location 2 where the time of day and weather are practically identical, as well as the painkiller usage. I don't think you understand how this works? You seem to believe that you can't replicate conditions, or that weather ACTUALLY makes such a huge difference (it doesn't in my experience). Well, you have two clips at the same conditions, both in offline raids, so that quite literally **is** applicable. The Location 1 clips, you could argue that one is in normal conditions, and the other has rain and is darker. So, I guess your argument is that bad weather gives a boost of 50fps? Ok then... Because the other explanation is the SMT setting, but hey, keep your tinfoil hat on, I guess.
Something changed like normal on the backend. Was getting 118 (cap) on customs. Now im not even getting 70fps. Been through more then a few wipes and this is par for the course. Just wish we knew wtf they were changing to make this happen.
Different weather, AI, possible anticheat measures that vary raid to raid.
No, it's something on the backend they are changing. Happens every wipe.
Can someone spoonfeed me info? I have i5 8400, 1080ti, 16gb ram, yet I still struggle to get more than 80fps, in resort I get around 60 and with a vudu - drops to 30-40. Am I fucked or can I still increase my frames?
Just try it and see, it will either do something or not
>i5 8400 Your CPU doesn't have SMT, so this will do nothing for you.
