While there are countless YouTube videos claiming to show you how to improve FPS in Escape From Tarkov, many unfortunately turn out to be mere clickbait, offering little verified or insightful information. In contrast, I believe EFT streamer and content creator Klemintime is doing a fantastic job, and following his instructions has helped me more than once.
Making a video that explains how to boost a PC's performance—specifically, how to increase FPS and eliminate issues like stuttering while playing EFT—might seem simple. However, doing it well and in a way that's genuinely helpful for viewers is a completely different matter.
After watching several videos from so-called experts, many of which were too short, uninformative, or even counterproductive, I thankfully came across a video by Klemintime that finally provided instructions that were not only clear and precise but also genuinely useful. He offered detailed explanations on how specific tweaks to settings in Windows, the BIOS, or the game itself would impact performance.
From that point on, I began following his channel and found many other useful videos. It's evident that Klemintime is passionate about this subject, constantly digging deeper and frequently publishing videos with new tests and updates as things evolve.
One thing I really appreciate about his content is the fact he explains what each setting does, and the abundance of practical tests, with before-and-after comparisons showing the effects of settings changes—extremely useful when deciding whether it's worth making adjustments.
Equally important, he's fun to watch and entertaining enough even though the topics can be tedious, and his voice is easy to listen to, making the viewing experience all the more enjoyable.
Below, you can find one of his latest videos, which thoroughly explains all the settings in EFT and how to improve performances in Patch 0.15. However, I highly recommend exploring his YouTube channel and checking out his other content as well.
Enjoy watching, and may the FPS be with you!
Patch 0.16 UPDATE
With Patch 0.16 released, Klemintime released a new video reporting what he found out are the settings impacting on the performance of EFT. He also added another video as he also found some potential issues with the Hideout (again). See below.
Be sure to check his YouTube channel regularly, as he frequently uploads new videos throughout the wipe, sharing potential optimizations to improve the game's performance. One standout is his detailed and well-crafted guide on using Process Lasso to boost FPS for CPU-bound setups.
