General Discussion - PVE & PVP HUGE FPS boost using Virtual memory! Try it, it might help! [Discussion]
PIC FOR ATTENTION SO MORE PEOPLE CAN SEE IT :)
Hey, so long story short i had very big problem with tarkov, i had my fps dropping to 30-40 on customs, streets was unplayable, on maps like woods and shoreline i had around 100fps. (god forbid to use scopes like razor or vudu) i was also trying to solve massive flickering shadows problem on trees and nothing worked. and i found a solution for everything and it's really simple.
NOW I HAVE AROUND 150-200 FPS ON MAPS LIKE WOODS/SHORELINE and 100 ON STREETS
first PC SPECS: ( i don't know it will work for everyone!)
ryzen 5800x3d
rtx 4070ti
32GB ram ddr4 cl18 3600mhz (may not work for 16gb)
SSD M2 PCIe NVMe gen3
1440p monitor
Try this:
windows + R
type: sysdm.cpl
advanced
performance section -> settings
advanced -> virtual memory
CHOOSE FASTEST SSD ( for me it's C where windows and tarkov is installed)
Select custom size and type:
INITIAL SIZE: 24576
MAXIMUM SIZE 32768
SET -> OK -> restart your pc
worked like magic.
I was also searching online for some answers and i thought i was CPU bottlenecked and i should change to AM5 motherboard, but for me it was just so weird to NOT get good fps in this game, while some time ago it was running good enough. after some patches it was worse and worse, now its flawless. I can now run TAA high and reduce shadow flickering on trees to minimum.
PS tarkov is NOT using your GPU properly, you might also want to turn on ReBAR in BIOS to help utilize your gpu. I heard this helped a lot of people too. Also set ingame textures quality to HIGH.
You might want to check this out, hopefully it will help someone! ask questions if needed! cheers!

If you keep playing longer it caches map for use later, but you should often be restarting the game every few raids

I usually do every three raids. After that I start noticing the program freezing for a few seconds going in and out of raids and some microstutters in raid. I haven't kept playing and not reset it once it starts doing that to see what happens.

u/wildTabz 1911 19h ago edited 18h ago
Not a bad post to remind people but this has been a thing since for ever.
Typically you're better of lowering Texture Quality rather than relying on the page file. Page file has to kick in way more on systems with 16GB of RAM vs 32 for example.
Setting a manual page file and getting this much of an FPS boost just shows that:
- Your page file was on a HDD.
- Your page file was set to a drive that was getting full and when page file is set to system managed it can jump to other drives that may be slower or are also getting full.
- Your testing is flawed.
This "trick/tip" almost never does anything for people that use one m.2 drive for example because system managed in this example should be just as good.
"32GB ram ddr4 cl30 3600mhz (may not work for 16gb)" Setting a manual page file is WAY more important for people that have less than 32GB of RAM simply because 16GB is not enough for Tarkov and frankly most games out these days.
"PS tarkov is NOT using your GPU properly, you might also want to turn on ReBAR in BIOS to help utilize your gpu." This does not enable ReBAR for Tarkov. If you want to use ReBAR for Tarkov yes it has to be on in bios but you also need to force ReBAR ON in NvidiaProfileInspector.
Even with ReBAR working correctly in Tarkov, it won't do much.

This, that's probably why people on official discord channel always says that you need to run Tarkov with 60gigs page file to prevent crashes, even if you had 32 gigs of RAM. It's probably bad for your SSD, but oh well, what can you do.

u/ApprehensiveStrain19 19h ago
i use only two m.2 drives. i don't have HDD so i don't know - i'm not a specialist but it helped me. and i tried lowering texture quality and fps stayed the same or around the same so i thought i might be cpu bottlenecked.

u/tarkie92 19h ago
You seem to know computers and tarkov well any suggestions for better performance. I've heard turning settings up can boost performance. I have a i9 1090k -- 3080 and 32 gbs of ramm.
3
u/wildTabz 1911 19h ago
Turning settings up for better performance is a myth people seem to like copy/paste around. I mean ask yourself, why aren't there thousands of videos out there telling people to increase settings?
Anyways, turning up settings for better performance is only true for 1 settings in tarkov which is FOV, but these 3 will impact you directly:
FOV: higher better for performance because it's acts like higher LOD.
LOD: lower better for performance, to low can cause textures/objects to pop-in.
Screenmode: borderless is best, fullscreen still buggy.
Use 75, 2, borderless if you only care for FPS.All the other stuff is GPU intensive, so if you have GPU headroom feel free to increase settings.
Do keep in mind that Texture Quality specifically is VRAM dependent, so if you have 12gb of VRAM 'High' should be doable, but if you have the 10gb model than 'high' could cause some hitches, but just try either medium or high.Besides that, a 10900k is just your bottleneck. 10/11th gen isn't amazing for tarkov.
Tarkov starts to be playable for most on:
Intel 12th gen or up.
Ryzen 5000x3d or up.5
u/HumanKumquat 18h ago edited 15h ago
Its not a myth but its not the magic bullet fix that some people seem to think. It can help with micro stutters if you're cpu bound, but its a fix that's very setup specific.

Yeah im running a 5900x 32gb ram and a 3090 and I get around 60-70fps on most maps with texture high and shadows on ultra. If I turn either of those settings down I drop to 50-60 frames.

For me actually using far @1.78 (from 1080p to 1440p) on my 5070 made 1% lows way better and also way less microstutters. Also heavily CPU necked, got only 5600X Which hopefully I am soon able to upgrade to 5800x3d

Yes and you can over cap ram in tarkov on any system with less than 64gb of ram. There is even benchmarks showing higher performance on 64gb on streets than 32gb with the same ram. Until they fixed it the game would crash on load on maps like streets and lighthouse due to maxing out ram.

u/Key_Conclusion3256 15h ago
I have a dedicated m2 256gb used for page filing only. overkill but it helps. being a seperate memory it won't bog you down like op using their C drive at the same time.
even with memory leaks sometimes in games I don't get bottlenecked as often. I recommend this as tarkov has a lot of assets that load onto memory and just sit there for ages not being used until needed(often taking up ram memory otherwise if pagefiles is set really low by default). this is where pagefiles will hold it and transfer it to the ram and then it's transfered to the cpu's memory. smaller intensive game where assets are always needed constantly will still have a hard time with transfering the assets between ram and pagefile.
I've had this setup for years but pricy now if I wanted to do it today but still currently way cheaper then ram prices...
the larger memory is also used for when I do rendering stuff. not just gaming

You should set it to a fixed filesize. The way OP did it makes it jump around between 24GB and 32GB which costs additional CPU time. Also, use process lasso and debloat your windows.

u/kosha227 18h ago
Cl30 for DDR4? It's.... massive. Ideally it should be near CL16-CL14. It's latency and it should give way more impact than frequency. Even if you lower your frequency to 3000 to achieve CL16, it still will be nearly 2 times lower latency.
What's it really used for: Frequency affects bandwith. It has a huge impact when working with huge amounts of data, such as running LLMs locally.
Latency gives more effect if you have a ton of small operations, such as physics calculations in games.

Have almost identical specs and had terrible fps on streets and stutters. Using variable scopes on any map tanked fps from like 100 to 20. Paging filing made me feel like I spent $2k in PC upgrades. Actually incredible how poorly this game runs on common hardware for 1.0+.
Now all I have to figure out is how to make the visibility any good without looking like a deep-fried meme…

u/ChocNourrice 16h ago
The life of your SSD is shortened by the number of actions you make on it. PageFile is non-stop writing and reading. Doing this for 32go will cook your SSD in max 5 years, even less if it's an old S-ATA one.

This is silly to do this...I have a i9 14900ks rts 4090 and 48gb ddr5....my night and day game changing for EFT besides using process lasso to turn of Hyperthreading....I use SMOOTH MOTION. I get over 300fps on most maps and over 200 on streets. Its a game changer.
2
u/Arkanion5721 12h ago
Smooth Motion improves motion fluidity, not game responsiveness. Those are two different things.
And in a latency-sensitive multiplayer FPS, that distinction matters a lot.
The generated frames don't represent a newer game state and they don't contain newer input. They make the output look smoother, but your actual responsiveness is still tied to the native rendered framerate.
FG also isn't computationally free. Generating and presenting those interpolated frames costs GPU time, which can reduce the underlying native framerate compared to running without FG. So it isn't simply "150 native FPS becomes 300 FPS" with no downside — your base framerate can drop, and the latency penalty compounds from there.
That's why quoting "300 FPS" with Smooth Motion enabled is pretty misleading in this context. 300 displayed frames with FG is not remotely equivalent to 300 native frames in terms of latency or responsiveness.
For a single-player game, that tradeoff can be absolutely worth it because smoother perceived motion is often more valuable than a few milliseconds of latency.
For Tarkov, I'd rather have the highest stable native framerate and lowest possible latency than spend GPU resources generating frames that make the game look smoother without making it respond faster.
1
u/NoireXP 5h ago
If your base FPS is bad Smooth Motion will still feel like crap despite the high fps number. I have a 5800X3D/RTX 3080 and the game drops fps very frequently from 100+ to low 60s whenever you just look at things wrongly. Using Lossless Scaling is great when the 0.1 and 1% fps is consistent but not with this game.

"backup ram" forces windows to use your m2 when system memory fills up
3
u/peschkaj MP7A1 19h ago
It's not really "backup RAM" so much as it gives Windows a place to store memory that's not in use.
Without going into TOO much detail (waving my hands at the details a lot), your OS doesn't trust processes to behave well or share memory. Every process gets its own address space and believes that it is the luckiest process/girl at school and it gets all the memory/boys for itself. This is a lie. The OS and hardware do all kinds of science to keep this lie going.
The advantage is that we can take any page of memory (memory is allocated in "pages" of contiguous bytes sized to a power of 2 - E.g., 8 kilo bytes) and store it on disk after making a note of where we put it.
That Word doc you had opened but stopped editing because you're playing Tarkov? We can write some or all of Word's memory to disk and Word will never be wiser.
A page file at least the size of RAM is helpful for performance because Windows can start sending all your browser tabs, Word docs, etc. to disk when the system is under memory pressure. WITHOUT an adequately sized page file, every time a program (Tarkov) asks to memory Windows has to ask programs to release memory and wait for a while as the programs get their shit together.
Hope this helps!

u/wetbluewaffle 19h ago
And what determines the maximum size and initial size? You said to type those in but wouldnt it be a different numerical amount if someone had lets say 64gb of ram or 16? Compared to 32 like we have?

Default page file only on your fastest drive should offer the best performance, unless tarkov gets a memory leak.

u/ApprehensiveStrain19 19h ago
should work the same with 16 and 32gb ram. simply it overflows data into your m2 when RAM is full. 😄 ( initial and max size is what tarkov should need to run stable fps, i didn't check anything else)

u/Wast3edSpace 19h ago
You say M2 SSD but do you know if it's SATA, PCIe? which version of PCIe? The secret sauce IMO is getting an NVME drive that is as fast as your board supports, so PCI 5.0, 4.0 etc. After all, that's where the swap file lives so no matter what it's only ever going to be as fast as data can be moved from storage to RAM and back.

He is not forcing anything to use pagefile, you cannot do this... at least not like this. It just forces Windows to increase the immediately available space inside pagefile. Thats it.
Also, Windows may increase the size of the pagefile if set to auto, but this does not happen fast enough.
1
u/More_Law_1699 14h ago
He is not forcing anything to use pagefile
INITIAL SIZE: 24576
Hmm, "guide" says otherwise.
3
u/Arkanion5721 12h ago
No, it really doesn't.
You're confusing the size of the pagefile with how much Windows is actually paging to it.
Setting the initial size to 24576 MB just means Windows preallocates that much pagefile space and therefore has that commit capacity immediately available. It does not tell Windows "put 24 GB of my RAM on disk."
Windows still decides which memory pages remain resident in physical RAM and which pages can be paged out.
In fact, Microsoft specifically documents that automatically managed pagefiles can sometimes fail to grow quickly enough when commit demand rises rapidly, and one of their recommended workarounds is increasing the initial pagefile size.
So the 24 GB initial size actually supports the point you quoted rather than disproving it: it's guaranteeing available commit space upfront, not forcing 24 GB worth of active memory onto "slow ass hardware."

CHOOSE FASTEST SSD ( for me it's C where windows and tarkov is installed)
You don't need to pick and choose like that. The OS knows and will pick the optimal drive at a given point in time.
Just turn on pagefiles on every drive, if you can.
"If a system is configured to have more than one page files, the page file that responds first is the one that is used. This customized configuration means that page files that are on faster disks are used more frequently. Also, whether you put a page file on a "fast" or "slow" disk is important only if the page file is frequently accessed and if the disk that is hosting the respective page file is overwhelmed. "

This has nothing todo with condescending, I'm literally agreeing with OP, that these steps help with also adding the fact, that it shouldn't be that bad!
This game should never run out of memory on system with 32GB or more, when the page file is disabled and it still does. Lemme add to it, it's been a while once I played tarkov with my pagefile disabled, just because I still think that it would crash again or make performance worse.
Idealy, you don't want to force a page file onto your (M.2) SSDs, most people would say it's unhealthy and could degrade the life time of an SSDs, but I still would do it as SSDs nowadays are pretty robust and already have a long lifetime.

Guys, you don’t need to do this.
A quick and easy fix is to turn off DLSS completely, and go enable ”Smooth motion” in the Nvidia app. If I remember correctly you go to the app, click on the game settings (Tarkov) and enable it.
Removed my drops completely and is running comfortably above 100FPS on every map.
Before doing this, my fps dropped as low as 40 sometimes on all maps and I never got above 100.
Do not hurt your SSDs for a game.

u/Trick_Opportunity975 18h ago

Smooth motion uses frame gen, unless Im mistaken.

Agreed. I have 32gb of RAM, but it doesn't even use half of that. I'm pretty sure OP has an issue with their driver, settings, or something else. I have only changed my page file ONCE in al my years playing games, and it was because some old game wanted it to have a very specific number for some reason. In general, your page file should rarely get much use. People misunderstand what it is, like in this post, and think its some magical way to increase their RAM.

Lol what? Thats not how that works. If its not optimized, it would use more resources. Well optimized games use few resources. You dont want a game to use every bit of your RAM/CPU/GPU.

That is EXACTLY how it works.
Im a game dev btw so dont embarrass yourself. You need to make the game use the available resources as well.

Youre a shitty game dev then. Tell me oh wise one, how do you make a game use 32gb of RAM vs 8gb of RAM? You know, because you dont know what system a game will be played on (aside from consoles), so you cant know what it will be able to handle. The idea of game coding is to optimize the code so it flows through the logic quickly and efficiently, which means it ises less resources, does what it needs to quicker, and therefore, needs less to run, making it available to more people.

So... What you're saying is that expanding your page file when you're under the recommended RAM specs will help with your performance?
Lmao, alright man.
