Constantly changing PostFX Settings? Watch this..

- The BEST possible Post FX settings for ALL MAPS. I recently started streaming and I needed some settings which would cover me across all maps, typically you'll want to adjust your Post FX every game to get the best result... but not anymore. In this video I go over the POST FX settings that I use in Escape from Tarkov. I've experimented around with various different settings, testing out what some of the best streamers use for post FX, but there always seemed to be a flaw with it in one sense. What these settings do is make the dark colours, much darker, essentially adding more definition to the game, in turn making everything way more visible. The aim of these settings is to also brighten up the overall game without effecting view distance from bloom, and also add more contrast between some of the washed out yellow colours (which there are plenty of).
The settings work best in areas which are hard to see in, AND most night raids with very little light available.

what if you have a laptop tho
i have drop fps killing me wean i play
i have GPU RTX 2060
CPU I5 9400F
16 GB RAM
wean i play i only use discord and i make setting like you side what i can do ?
@@a7mad_syr951 Tarkov can be fickle with bottlenecks. I have a 12% bottleneck due to my gpu, a Radeon 9 200 series, coupled with 8gb ram and an AMD fx-8350 cpu and i get drops to 15-25 fps every 5-10 minutes and with Discord on it's every 5 minutes.
Nice, short, and straight to the point. I was getting a little tired of watching 20 min long post fx videos just to skip to where their settings are and most of the time I ended up changing it anyways.
Decided to try this out mainly out of curiosity and... wow. No wonder why I get killed so easily by other players in poorly lit areas. You're at a serious disadvantage playing without these settings. Good work on figuring this out! The difference is night and day, you're blind as a bat without using this
Yeah, because the darkness in this game is equivalent to darkness in games prior to 2013
😭
I realy hate that you have to go ahead and change nvidia settings, in order to lose that disadvantage :(
@@leonm4273 I miss the old Nvidia Filter settings we had before PostFX was added to the game, but BSG does everything they can to "make an even playing field" (but only for people who can play their game full time)
Thanks I really needed this. Been fighting all the different postfx, monitor settings, and nvida control panel lately. Cheers!
Wow church! It's a blessing to see you in the comments 😁 hope this helps
As a brand new player to this game, your content has been a godsend. So concise. Thank you for making my onboarding easier!
Thank you for the video, finally realized the color setting maxed is all I need with a dab of contrast.
I love how the settings look it really does make everything pop out, the only thing that I think you could have done extra in the video, Is to show a couple clips of you killing enemies in darker areas of a map. Other than that it's a great video keep it up man :)
aye thats a good idea mate. I only been running these settings a short while and I needed to get this video out asap. But for similar videos in the future I will keep it in mind! thank you
Someone already said it, but yes, thank you for being concise and to the point. Some of these people make like 10 minutes for each slider which in my opinion is silly when I can watch your legit 10 second clip about a specific slider and it instantly makes sense. Thank you again!
Glad to see more well crafted settings from your channel 🤘🤘
Cheers brother
Thanks for this video, Lew. Half my issue was my control panel calibration. Definitely helped with darker tones.
hey there appreciate the video ive seen your short clips and such and appreciate the content gives me a deep grin
Never heard of you before, haven't played Tarkov in a while.. But you earned yourself a new sub, this is so well done. Great job mate.
Cheers!
everything was great! always anxious for the next video
this is a huge change for the better man thank you so much
I've always know this was the reason I've gotten killed so many times, but could never find that sweet spot is my post fx to fix visibility or get to the general direction of my liking. Your video just did that. Subsribing no doubt.
Damn man i am so glad I found your channel this last week. All my buddies stopped playing tarkov and I’ve had to transition to a solo player and your videos have helped me so much. Keep up the good work man!
I'd stop playing too
Thanks for the advice. I could never find the perfect settings, this is poggers.
Glad to help
Thanks ! This made made it so much easier to see
Thank you so much for this video! Helped me out soooo much! Cheers 🍻
Literally watched your other post fx video a few hours ago and adjusted mine in game. Guess I’ll be revisiting that again! 😂 nice work 👍🏻
Haha honestly, both are really good! for me I find myself tweaking chillwave a little every wave for the OPTIMAL experience, but as a streamer, its not practical to do that. As a streamer, I want 1 setting that will cover me for all maps... and I think I achieved that pretty well.
@@2Lew I know what you mean. TBH I’m just too lazy to change for each map so will probably just do the same! 😂 Definitely a lot better in the darker areas.
Thank you! I found that, for my monitor, using these setting but with "Boost" as the filter with tritanopia at 75 gives me AMAZING results, the montreal filter was too off for me it gave everything a purple/reddish kind of tint in really dark areas which I didn't like.
try "Clifden" to me looks like Boost but not quite as washed out
Awesome video! You've missed a rather large component though. What is the brightness/contrast/gamma settings of your monitor? The Nvidia ones go over the top of that, so it could be very very different if our monitor settings are different. Your monitor OSD should have 0-100 values (usually), could you take a pic of that?
Rly Love youre vids, and great settings!
Thanks dude
*I tried to recreate this the best I can while using AMD software* instead of NVIDIA's, and here are the settings I use for anybody in a similar position.
These settings also won't necessarily require you to change your monitor's actual settings, as I avoided doing so here. You MIGHT still have to though.
-----------------------
*In Tarkov:*
-----------------------
Brightness | -5
Saturation | 100
Clarity | 55
Colourfulness | 100
Luma Sharpen | 100
Adaptive Sharpen | 5
Colour Grading | Montreal
Intensity | 65
Colourblind mode | Tritanopia
Intensity | 60
REASONING: I find that having the colour grading & colourblind mode not set to the highest level helps with not having the screen turn all pink, and also helps with dark blue colours not turning completely purple. As for the brightness, I found that lowering it ever so slightly helps reduce colour banding when in low-light conditions, allowing you to distinguish better between object/object, or floor/wall.
-----------------------
*In AMD:*
-----------------------
Custom Colour | Enabled
Colour Temperature Control | Disabled
Brightness | 0
Hue | 0
[!] Contrast | 135 [increasing this value is what is going to make whites & greys brighter, and keep blacks the same]
Saturation | 65 [personal preference]
NOTE: There is also a sharpness option somewhere in the AMD settings. I enabled it, but set it to the lowest value of 10%. It might sound minimal but it does actually sharpen a lot better than Tarkov.
Thanks im gonna try it
what are your tarkov graphical settings?
@@buggaming5346 All highest except for anti-aliasing I think
if I lower my settings I lose fps for some reason
Appreciate you!
Thank you for doing the work the OP refused to do!
Omg need to try this, thanks man!
Thank you so much. You have no idea how many times I’ve died because I can’t see in the dark. Prolly my gamma settings. Very useful :)
Your videos are always on point!
Cheers homie
Bro these settings have helped so much already I was maxing at 60 fps now im getting 100+! and I can see better you are the man!
How? I’m on a high end pc and not getting that, what’s ur discord?
@@oliverhughes1707 do you still need help, i might know whats wrong. what do you have your textures and shadows on?
very good video. Helped me a lot. Thanks man!
I'm glad!
best post fx video out there. thanks a ton.
Hey just wanted to say that I still use game settings to this day based off this video, thank you so much man.
Nice vid, decent info.
Would be nice to see hardware performance gains or hits due to setup of post FX.
You earned a subbed!! Great video
cheers dude!
cheers Lew, will give it a try. I've been changing my settings a lot lately
Yes brother! No problem
awesome! ill try this for my next raid. Thanks man
GG dude
GAME CHANGER HOLY HELL thank you so much
good info ty. Im getting back into tarkov
good stuff, saving this.
Wow. That does look better and it helps a lot. I still suck but at least now I can see better.
Keep up the good work brother!
Thanks homie
Nice ending to your vid!! Gonna try this the next time i hop on
good luck!
tried the settings. like the settings. using the settings. thanks for the vid bro
Bless you
Holy shit my game is so buttery smooth now. Thank you for making this video
You’ve gained 10k subscribers in 3 weeks, nice
thank you so much :) been messing with the settings daily now I dont have to
Glad I could help!
Omfg. I was not aware that i'm blind till this point. Thanks mate.
Thanks you for the video!
thank you for the comment brother
sub'd. awesome content and have enjoyed other vids too! Keep it up bro
Awesome, thank you!
everything just looks so damn red and pink all the time
The example at 1:09 is how mine looks, adjust gamma/contrast till you get a similar result that you like. Yes it will look a little pink, if you really really cant vibe with that, try my other video about Interchange where I use the Chillwave filter, very similar results, just not pink.
@@2Lew I might have missed this but Gamma/contrast is just the intensity bar under Montreal, correct?
@@T4CTICSTRATEGY nah it's in the colour settings in the Nvidia control panel. Or your AMD equivalent
@@2Lew how do know whether to adjust gamma or brightness? I’ve always been confused about this.
I thought the same, abit pink lol but u can see more in night sick guide
i have been taking a break from tarkov this patch, but i might have to fuck around with this.
Wow great content!
m8, I am only watching your videos because of your soothing voice :D
Man this video hit the nail on the head. Ever since I jumped back in with the wipe I have constantly been frustrated and always tinkering with the visuals. I can't wait to get home and try this out! I feel like I've been playing an FPS with a fishbowl on my head
Hahah no worries man
Last time with Interchange video my overall visibility improved. Now it's literally perfect ofc you have to play with it a bit as its not same for all of us. Most of the people wont even bother playing with all these settings as its really annoying. You just saved me
an incredible amount of time. Thanks for that LEW
glad this helped, chillwave is still a good filter in its own right, especially for interchange. But going between maps you will need to tweak it slightly, as a stream I really didnt want to be doing this, so this has really helped me! 😁
thank you you msde my dsy with this this helps on interchange alot for me
Great video again 2Lew, BUT I will stick to your prior video "Can't see anything on Interchange? You NEED this..".
This setting may work, but also turns this game into some sort of minecraft to cartoony game.
Thanks for your input though!
whatever works for you brother!
Been waiting for this one thank you it’s gonna take some gettin used to but honestly the visibility in the game can be so poop as is so anything that might help I’ll try it lmao
Holy shit... I might as well have been playing blindfolded. Thanks
This is actually gorgeous
:)
@@2Lew the only issues i found were if you go into factory you really gotta play with the Montreal grading, everything looks very orange, also the sky on a bright day is purple haha
Great video as always! Only thing on my mind: What version of MSI Gaming App are you using? Been using it for year myself, but mine has never looked like that, nor had the same options etc?! Thanks mate!
its not msi gaming app, its the settings on my monitor
Fuck yeah mate thanks you very much, better than the actual postfx on youtube right now you saved me bud
because of this video you got 1 more subscriber and 1 more like for your videos thank you for that video its really helpful
i can finally see! thanks alot
🙏
what sensitivity and dpi do u use mate? great vid!
Your settings alone increased my FPS by at least 40. I just had to chose a different color filter in post fx and made my game look phenomenal. Thank you
nice dude, glad it helped
These settings are a game changer for daytime interchange and any other map but these are horrible for night runs. They make colors pop at night but all the dark areas at night get washed and turns everything into one big blob of black and lighter shades of black. I will check out the discord to see if i find something different for night. Thank you for all the time you put in to these videos.
it works for night too, you might find you have to turn your gamma/contrast and brightness to something a little above normal. obviously it wont cure a PITCH BLACK game, but from the majority of my tests (shoreline being one of the worse because theres no artificial lights) its worked well
AMAZING!!!
A bit weird withthis purple grading, but super usefull thanks!!! Its like different game, enemy spoting wise now
Great video, curious to know if there is a way to only have the Nvidia settings when inside of tarkov, Looks great in Tarkov but is a little bright outside of the game. Anyone know?
Much love.
❤
Thanks. This will help so much, been tweeking these settings for months, drives me crazy
Glad to help brother
Thank you. FIrst I was a bit skeptic, cuz the colors looked funky in your video. Then when I tried the PostFX settings, I was disgusted, it looked too colorful and saturated, felt like the whole screen is red and that I could see way better without PostFX.
After playing around with Nvidia settings, I only kept digital vibrance up like you did, to 65% and left the rest untouched. Then I halfed the colorblind mode intensity and the color grading as well. Then I also played with the other settings like brightness, clarity and the sharpens, but it felt like only luma sharpen made the game look a bit better, I only left it at 40-50% though.
Then I also realized, that by using Windows's "Display color calibration" tool and adjusting the gamma slider to the max is better for some reason than the nvidias gamma slider.
I know it wont work for all people and that's why you have to play around for 30min-1hr to find the perfect settings for you, which are comfortable for your eyes and have good visibility, and colours as well.
Before this I just used to only turn up the gamma slider and that's it, but now the game looks much more colorful and not washed out, helps with my anxiety while playing this game.
What monitor were you using at the time of review, if you remember? I'm a new player and I'm having the same thing. Tinkering is taking awhile.
@@wafflebombsoldier9293 haha I dont play anymore but it's an AOC 24G2U. Yeah each monitor will look different, thats why join a practice lobby and just play around for a while until you find what works for you.
Might even have to adjust it while you play the game in the future.
Good luck!
great vid but what are your monitor immage settings?
I have trouble seeing at nice with these Postfx. It looks great in the day though. Suggestion to help with night raids?
hi, thanks for the video =)
is it possible to change the nvidia color settings automaticly if i start tarkov like the 3d settings? or do i have to change it everytime by myself? maybe i am blind idk xD
changed all my settings to this and when i loaded into factory shit was bright red sick guide lmao
Dude, I can't thank you enough! My games looks fucking amazing right now, like, holy shit!!!!
Being somewhat colourblind, my eyes are horrible at separating shades and colours that are close together, so when it comes to washed out shooters like Tarkov, I've always got an inherent disadvantage when spotting stationary targets. This actually really helped me out! Thank you!
im glad brother! I'm not colour blind at all and I still find it really difficult to pick out different colours 😂
Thank you.
thank you :)
the screen felt like your character was on DMT
deep fried is back baby, hell yeah
Yeye nice video i need it
glad to help brother
thank u sir
Not one to comment but this video is great no bs straight to the point and was something I didn't know I needed 👌👍 got a sub off me for sure
thanks brother, appreciate you taking the time to comment
i do like the setting apart from how colorful it is. it looks way too cartoony imo, i like to have "the best" settings for competitive reasons but i also like my game to look good
you do realize parts of the world, more specifically in the pacific, can get to this kind of colorfulness? I understand tarkov doesn't take place anywhere near this but I don't think military's stationed there go "Oh how cartoony"
@@spikesponge7005 I think he’s talking about it from a game perspective and what tarkov is aiming for
@@spikesponge7005 "parts of the world" but not the Russia dude
@@spikesponge7005 What does it matter how the world looks at the pacific? Tarkov is placed in Russia.
I acknowledge this works.
Though I refuse to do it.
Shadows on low and shadow visibility on 40 is as far as I go.
Cool video bud. I know this is reaching a fair bit but it'd be interesting to see (or hear thoughts on..) what the same settings do on a few different monitors - (say the 3 or 4 players in a group all running the same settings) most of which have been chopped and changed in their monitor settings over the time we've used them too.. I'm assuming it's gonna be a bit different for me playing the tit on my (*really* not for gaming) LG OLED tv at 60fps than a proper gaming monitor - I'm partially sighted so I need a 5ft screen to see anything. Might try the colourblind mode, guess I had a false idea of what it was and it felt like a bit too much of a gamer move but it actually makes it look nicer..
great comment, if I even have the money to do tests like this in the future, or im just upgrading my gear, I definitely will! with that being said... The example at 1:09 is how mine looks, adjust gamma/contrast/brightness till you get a similar result, it SHOULD be possible on 99% of monitors in the last 10 years. (yes, I have a very old second monitor)
just mess around with the color filters yourself. all monitors and eyes are different
@@squidwardo7074 Think you missed the point..
Whoaaa good shit
i tried doing it and well i did what you did and outdoors it looks good but indoor everything is purple for some reason (help)
I noticed your monitor is the same one as mine. MSI Optix MPG27CQ2 (unless u changed it) i wonder if i could have ur monitor settings to match your ingame tarkov settings :D
What exactly changed since your last video on the topic? Or did you just discover more refined techniques and settings to maximise the visibility/flexibility of the setup?
this setup in the video is what he uses while streaming.
I find the chillwave much better. A nice blend of visibility while not looking like Fortnite.
im glad you found something you like! they're almost identical in tactical advantage, its more preference and if you can be bothered tweaking chillwave every couple of raids
Best post fx are the ones you like most imo I encourage you to check out multiple if you're watching post fx videos like me.
Is there a way to have different nvidia color settings? Because these settings hurt my eyes for normal browsing and other games.
Problem I have with postfx is it drops my frames by like 10, is it worth dropping my resolution to 1080p for increased frame rate to use postfx?
Fucking finally! i have been searching for this video 4 days :D
Gonna try this because everytime I go on woods it looks so deep fried and Pixelated
good luck brother, I hope this helps.
These settings really brightened up the game and players are gonna be so much easier to spot. Dark areas are way too saturated so I'll mess around with my nvidia control settings.
So you dont swap to the interchange settings you showed a few videos ago?
It's preference, both have their own benefits. I slightly prefer Montreal because it's easier on my eyes overall, and because I stream it means I don't have to change them each raid.
Experiment and decide for yourself
thanks
Im playing on a laptop and the adjust desktop colour settings tab isnt available for me to click on. Do i ahve to have a monitor to make these changes or is there something ive missed?
