My performance in game is awful! what can I do?

Faster graphics cards have little effect on game performance, Tarkov is heavily CPU limited, Adjusting graphics settings also has little effect

• Enable 'RAM cleaning' in the game options + regularly press escape in-game (event for just a second) to run ram-cleaning
• Use mods that disable far away AI, e.g. `AI Limit`
• Use mods that disable grass/clutter e.g. `GRASSCUTTER` and `DE-CLUTTERER`
• Close programs like Discord and web browsers while playing
• Spawn fewer bots (set bot amount to low)
• Avoid large maps like Streets or Lighthouse
• Disable AI mods that improve AI (e.g. SAIN)
• Check if your CPU/Graphics card is overheating and stop it
• See if you can enable XMP for your computer memory
• Look into overclocking your hardware
  • Research negative voltage offsets / curve optimizations if your hardware supports it
• Buy and install more RAM
• Buy and install a faster CPU
