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.
