About Escape from Tarkov on PC

Escape from Tarkov is the rare shooter where RAM capacity is a headline requirement. Streets of Tarkov in particular loads an enormous amount of geometry and loot state, and systems with 16 GB will stutter in ways that no graphics setting addresses.

Offline mode and the smaller maps give a badly misleading picture. If you are tuning for the worst case, tune on Streets during a live raid — everything else will then run comfortably.

Covers live raids on the largest maps, which are heavily CPU- and memory-bound. Offline mode understates the load.
