Best Escape from Tarkov settings for the Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) (2026)

On a Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Escape from Tarkov runs at roughly 18 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 8FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Escape from Tarkov is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 18 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 8 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 18 FPS at 1080p and 11 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 6 FPS at 4K. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Escape from Tarkov at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Escape from Tarkov: Heavily CPU-bound - maps like Streets can bottleneck even strong CPUs.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Escape from Tarkov added DLSS and FSR. A free FPS boost - but Tarkov is heavily CPU-bound, so don't expect it to fix low frames on busy maps like Streets.
Shadows QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. Many competitive players run Low for both FPS and visibility.
Overall VisibilityLow+10% FPS
How far the world renders - a real cost on open maps. Lower to see (and run) better; raising it helps spot distant players.
Object LOD QualityLow+8% FPS
Detail on distant objects - leans on the CPU. Medium keeps frametimes steady in fights.
Grass Shadows / DistanceOff+7% FPS
Grass density and its shadows. Lower it - tall grass also hides enemies, so many players reduce it.
Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean; some players prefer FXAA for a sharper image.
SSR QualityOffbaseline
Screen-space reflections on water and glass. Off is the competitive default for free frames.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM. Tarkov likes 8GB+ on big maps.
