Avoiding low frame rates in a top-tier Tarkov setup requires careful optimization.
Avoiding low frame rates in a top-tier Tarkov setup requires careful optimization.
I frequently play Tarkov and recently upgraded my setup from a 1070. Since then, improvements haven’t been noticeable. At 1440p I was hoping for around 100 FPS, but I’m only seeing about 60. I’ve watched many FPS boost videos, but they don’t seem to help much. Userbenchmark revealed my CPU is underperforming and my GPU isn’t reaching its full potential. I initially thought the PSU might be too weak, but I’m still unsure if that’s the main issue—my PC even shut down in that situation. Now I suspect the CPU is the problem and I’m weighing upgrade options. My current components are: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming OC 10G, Samsung 870 QVO 1TB, MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 board, Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2x16GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 RAM, and a gigabyte P750G power supply.
The PSU seems faulty and might not be delivering enough power to your 3080, causing it to throttle. The 3700x could be limiting performance slightly, but it’s not a major concern. How are your temperatures? I’m pretty sure the power supply is the issue that sometimes causes overheating.
The information provided doesn't make sense; the statement seems to dismiss a useful detail. Not every 750W unit is the same.
The temps seem fine, especially when I play Tarkov, as it seems like my PC is barely putting in an effort. When I play different games, it seems to work a lot harder and my PC gets hot, but nothing problematic I think. I use the stock cooler that comes with the CPU.
Power source the problem then. Swap that ticking time bomb. They really blow up. It’s not just a bad PSU—it could be seriously hazardous.
The power supply won't lower your frame rate because it might fail. I get why you're upset about this PSU, but changing it probably won't improve your gaming performance. What I've learned is that Tarkov isn't very optimized, and people with higher specs are reporting similar issues on Reddit. There are also some suggestions on Reddit about tweaking game settings to boost FPS—worth a look.
I tried numerous setting combinations, but the one mentioned in the post didn’t seem to make much difference. In most cases I manage around 80 frames while stationary. Several streamers claim to maintain steady 100+ frames using identical graphics cards but faster CPUs, suggesting my CPU might be limiting performance.
