Best Escape from Tarkov settings for the NVIDIA RTX 2060 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 2060 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Escape from Tarkov runs at roughly 77 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 57FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 2060 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Escape from Tarkov is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 77 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 57 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 77 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 45 FPS at 4K. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Escape from Tarkov at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is DLSS 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 DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSQuality+35% 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 QualityMediumbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. Many competitive players run Low for both FPS and visibility.
Overall VisibilityMediumbaseline
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 QualityMediumbaseline
Detail on distant objects - leans on the CPU. Medium keeps frametimes steady in fights.
Grass Shadows / DistanceLowbaseline
Grass density and its shadows. Lower it - tall grass also hides enemies, so many players reduce it.
SSR QualityOffbaseline
Screen-space reflections on water and glass. Off is the competitive default for free frames.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean; some players prefer FXAA for a sharper image.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM. Tarkov likes 8GB+ on big maps.
