Wrapping Up Tarkov Optimization Guide

Running Escape From Tarkov has been troublesome for me in the beginning, despite having good hardware. The problem was the game’s optimization and tons of bugs that ruined the experience. 

Even though the game is still in a closed beta state, the optimization has gotten way better. From playing on a measly 60-65 FPS, it has now been bumped up to 100+ FPS. They’ve resolved several texture-steaming issues and game-breaking glitches over time that have helped me enjoy the game a little better. 

So, hopefully, my settings guide was able to give you even more performance out of the game than you currently were getting. The game is only going to get better with time so you can always bump up a few settings to get better visuals in Tarkov.
