Tarkov added a new graphics setting called Area Light Instancing, so I tested it to see if it actually helps FPS or if it’s just another setting that barely changes anything.
In this video I compare it on vs off, look at FPS/frametime, and give my honest answer on whether I’d use it or not.
My setup:
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
RTX 5070 Ti
64GB DDR5
1440p
Drop your CPU, GPU, RAM, resolution, and the map you struggle with most in the comments and I’ll try to help with settings/upgrades.
More Tarkov FPS tests and settings videos coming soon!!
