[edgy plover]

it's technically a facemask

[fervent raft]

Which means you have to hit something uncovered

Or zero the armor

[uncut grotto]

Is it determined automatically during the purchase acording to my region? Or do i have to select it ?

[edgy plover]

It should be auto, just make sure the one you're buying isn't explicitly for Russia or NA

Tagilla is very predictable, if you hurt him enough (couple leg shots will do) he'll run away and heal - during which time you can chase him and put 1 round in the back of his head, where there's no armor

[serene hatch]

tha wasn’t tagilla

that was a player

[edgy plover]

No shot

[serene hatch]

i swear to god it was a level 38

[edgy plover]

Okay that's fucking weird

[serene hatch]

i thought tagilla at first cause of how much he ate but it wasn’t

[edgy plover]

maybe you got desynced to high hell or somethin

[fervent raft]

Its a player???

Why is he being a statue

[edgy plover]

yea that makes no sense

[fervent raft]

Is it pve?

[serene hatch]

nope

[fervent raft]

Im so confused then

[serene hatch]

he moved after my first mosin hit him then didn’t move again and then i died cause he ate 34 bullets at least

[edgy plover]

was homie cheating?
was that crazy desync?
was that a dead body you were shooting at, that was like bugged out, and then you got killed by someone elsewhere?
I have no clue

[serene hatch]

i shot a whole mosin mag but i know i didn’t hit all them but at least 2 did and then you can see 90% of that mag from the hk hit him

[fervent raft]

Ive never seen a player act like that before

[serene hatch]

i didn’t think it would be a player either but i checked his profile

800 hours level 38

[fervent raft]

Maybe he was trolling you idk

I dont see what he has on the head

[serene hatch]

no cause then my friend killed him anyway

i don’t care i died it was only a scav, i needed a kit from the run but it’s whatever

just crazy how much he took to be completely fine

[fervent raft]

Armor right now is stronger than ever

[serene hatch]

yeah clearly buddy’s wearing fucking titanium or something

[fervent raft]

Its not gonna be a problem when the game wipes

People wont have t5 for a while

And when they get it most of them dont run it

[serene hatch]

i can’t even play beginning wipe cause i start college lol

[fervent raft]

Ah rough

[serene hatch]

i’m gonna be like a week late to wipe

[fervent raft]

A week is fine

Youll be surprised how slow majority progresses

Theres people who Will hit a scav run as Their first raid

[serene hatch]

it wipes the same day my new student orientation starts lmfao so im busy from like 8am-8pm-11pm some nights 😭

shits so dumb i have no clue why an orientation goes that late but it sucks

is there a skill that eventually makes me pack mags faster?

[edgy plover]

Yea I think it's just called mag packing

[serene hatch]

yeah i didnt see it at first, thx

[vestal acorn]

I remember my college that started at 8.30 and ended at around 16.30-17.05, was actually so ass

[serene hatch]

my orientation is 8am to 8pm most days, some days 9pm and saturday its till 11pm lmfao

[vestal acorn]

But wtf is an orientation

[serene hatch]

i dont even know

its to learn shit i think

[edgy plover]

My orientation was just a day, why is yours so long

[serene hatch]

how do i switch scopes

[vestal acorn]

Alt + right click

[edgy plover]

ctrl

[serene hatch]

thats just changing my zoom

[edgy plover]

+right click

[serene hatch]

thx

[fervent raft]

If you like running scopes like that you should rebind it

Those 2 key binds are horrible

Youre gonna fumble them

[undone drum]

Guys, is leveling Ref next wipe worth it?

[young meteor]

Yes

[zealous brook]

Where can I find a screwdriver?

[young meteor]

Anywhere, toolboxes, utilities related areas, dufflebags

Every map has areas that spawn tools

[zealous brook]

[undone drum]

why? What ref has to offer other, that i can get from flea?

[young meteor]

Pre built guns, the key tool, armor, mags, containers, all using GP which costs you 0 rubles.

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ref

[lone basin]

is this normal while loading/searching a raid?

[young meteor]

Its so easy to earn GP

[lone basin]

once im ingame its gone, my entire pc seems super laggy to the point where watching videos is impossible while loading into a raid

[undone drum]

through arena wins?

[young meteor]

Yes, mostly daily tasks

[undone drum]

daily tasks from ref?
Or actual arena fights?
How much do a win in arena earns?

[lone basin]

Only tasks give you gp coins, dailies range between 15 and like 35-40 i believe(from what ive seen)

more coins=harder task

[young meteor]

Dailys, depends. Sometimes the reward is like 40 or 50GP

[young meteor]

This

[undone drum]

Ah and arena is just to level him up

[lone basin]

now that im in raid this is the gpu usage

[young meteor]

He has a questline in Tarkov, no questline in Arena yet. Dailies earn rep and so do the Tarkov quests

[undone drum]

Allright, thanks everypone

[lusty lion]

Do you run Fullscreen or borderless in tarkov

[lone basin]

borderless

[orchid isle]

i use borderless for everything

cus i tab out every 2 seconds

[red thistle]

The Pre-Wipe Events have begun: These are for PVP only

• All hideout Upgrades require only Pevko Beer and have instant construct times.
• Levelling of skills have been rapidly boosted.
• The flea market is currently closed
• Loot spawns have been drastically buffed!
• All Scavs are running Raider gear
• Bosses are 100% spawn on their respective maps

[wild pasture]

ULACH or EXFIL?

[orchid isle]

ulach has better ears
exfil can wear face shield (black one) and looks better
brown exfil sucks but still looks better

[woven siren]

brown exfil looks good if you dedicate a fit to it

[reef scaffold]

Prism

Its the coolest

[grave bison]

Would this be an appropriate place to ask a troubleshooting question?

[vestal acorn]

No

[tidal lagoon]

#community-support

[grave bison]

Ty!

[wild pasture]

ULACH is so OP

[stiff cape]

one of the best overall helmets

[red flower]

Question: I am level 7 in Pve. My Fence rep is .35. I did a scav run on ground zero yesterday, so no boss spawned. I was at the bottom of the garage ramp on the outside, and I noticed what looked like a pmc, but he didn't shoot at me. He then ran away with another person. Maybe he wasn't a pmc? Anyways, right after that, a scav started shooting at me through the gate. I ran up the stairs and the scav followed me and I was forced to kill him as he kept shooting at me. Why did I agro the scavs? I am not sure why?

On GZ does your pmc level matter if you are on a scav run? U can possibly get in an instance where the boss spawned?

[wild pasture]

He probably wasn't a scav

[red flower]

Who? The folks that ran away or the person I shot?

[wild pasture]

Both

Sometimes they look alike in PVE
I've made some mistakes

[red flower]

On pve? After I died, his name was that of a scav

[wild pasture]

Weird

It might be a bug

[red flower]

It also said scav too

[wild pasture]

Maybe there was someone behind you or smth and the scav was shooting him?

[red flower]

Nope. I was alone, and what killed me was another scav that came up behind me at the top of the stairs

[wild pasture]

I think it's a bug

[edgy plover]

Yes, you can

it's irrespective of your PMC level

it's just random when you scav

[red flower]

Well, what seems to make sense is that you can jump in a raid with any level pmcs, right? If you have pmcs that are over 21, then you will get a boss spawn. Maybe that was the boss that ran away, and that agroed the local scavs?

[edgy plover]

Sounds like you ran into a boss or one of his guards - had to kill him - and the rest aggrod you

[red flower]

Odd for the boss to run tho

[edgy plover]

Yes that is odd, I'm not sure
always good to have instant replay on for those weird moments

watching them back always has the answer

[red flower]

Is there a way to do that other than obs?

[edgy plover]

Medal is software you can download, both AMD and Nvidia have their own built in ones too

I use the nvidia shadow play

[red flower]

Thx

[wild pasture]

How do I turn it on?

[edgy plover]

Alt+z in game opens GeForce, you can turn on instant replay from there and set how many minutes back you want it to record whenever you hit a keybind - I think it’s alt-f1 by default

[wild pasture]

Thanks man

[edgy plover]

Ofc

[red flower]

Nice. Thx

[fathom minnow]

what attachment gives you a red laser on the gun?

[young meteor]

You specifically want a red one? I believe Baldr Pro and 2KS laser module from Skier does

[edgy plover]

quite a few
x400, baldyr, klech2p

[edgy plover]

2IKS is the IR one

2p is the visible one

[young meteor]

Ty, forgot the name

[civic quest]

also one of the an/peq boxes

i think the peq-2?

[fathom minnow]

Thanks guys!

[untold fractal]

How worth it do you all think it is to run arena strictly to get used to Tarkov gunplay

[violet adder]

it will work

[untold fractal]

I’m just ass at tarkov gunplay, quite a change from most other fps

[potent crater]

Eft fights are more about knowledge imo than mechanics

[untold fractal]

100%, I find myself losing fights because I just suck at mechanically winning gunfights 😭

My hours in cs/r6 are not transferable whatsoever

[undone drum]

Do you have a clip?

[stiff cape]

we like to watch

[untold fractal]

Nah I don’t but next time I play I’ll clip it

I just literally suck at recoil control in this game and once I get in a firefight that isn’t entirely asymmetrical I’m kinda fucked

[stiff cape]

recoil gets better as you progress and get better guns/attachments/pmc skills

its meant to suck early on take your time with shots

[hasty tartan]

I havent played tarky for 5 months now,i joined to play some pre-wipe and i cant buy anything from traders,it says i dont have money even tho i do

[stiff cape]

checkbox in the topleft of middle window

[hasty tartan]

thanks dude 😗

[daring ridge]

I have a question is pve worth it rn or should I not

[wild pasture]

How do I find a bitcoin?

[fervent raft]

If you like pve games Its worth it

If you dont then probably not

[stiff cape]

good practice learning basics suppose

lost time progressin pvp though

[daring ridge]

Hmm

[undone drum]

tried to check on tarkov wiki?

[wild pasture]

I forgot about the wiki

Thanks

[wary wasp]

If you have lvl 2 traders, the access to lvl 2 ammo, what ammo would you use?

[young meteor]

For what guns?

What caliber, I should ask

Cant go wrong with 5.45 PS 😎

[fervent raft]

Safes, and valuable spawns on Streets, labs and lighthouse

Is the easiest Way if you wanna find a bitcoin

The wiki is usually bad with loot

[young meteor]

I forget if Jaeger 2 has BCP FMJ, But thats a good budget ammo

[fringe jay]

i guess if u have the time/money trade BT packs from prapor

[edgy plover]

.45 FMJ in the ump isn't terrible

[edgy plover]

without flea it would be hard

[fringe jay]

prapor 2 is lvl 15

[edgy plover]

flea is closed rn lol

[fringe jay]

ah ok xD

only playing pve rn

[edgy plover]

oh gotcha lol
yea and it's a good move for next wipe too

[fringe jay]

its like 1k per round so
decent i uess

guess

[fervent raft]

Does 762 bt really go on flea?

Sounds unlikely

[fringe jay]

i think Subsonic SX for mp7 is lvl2 aswell

[young meteor]

.366 EKO chads rise up 😎

[fervent raft]

366 is the worst cal in the game

[fringe jay]

what 762

[fervent raft]

Is it 545 bt?

[fringe jay]

54?

[fervent raft]

Yes ofc

[young meteor]

Ye

[fervent raft]

I see

[bright hawk]

does EFT Arena wipe same time as normal tarkov?

[fringe jay]

no u can trade it from prapor

[fervent raft]

Kk

[young meteor]

Ye

[fringe jay]

didnt even know that arena wipes lol

[young meteor]

Its tied to the base game now

[bright hawk]

ehm i traded money from Arena to normal tarkov but i dont see it

[young meteor]

Can be pretty buggy, sometimes it takes a minute, someyimes it disappears. Try exiting the game

[wary wasp]

that is prapor lv l3

[young meteor]

You may be thinking 7.62

[wary wasp]

no , https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/5.45x39mm_PS_gs

[young meteor]

You dont get PS til LL3

What de HECCk

[wary wasp]

hahaha

and guys i am mainly asking these questions for next wipe. I am planning what ammo and guns I am using. So if you have any tips, there are welcome!

[young meteor]

I stand by .366 EKO

[wary wasp]

The problem i am having with a .366 is that it is not full auto. And I am going for survival so if i get surprised by a pmc or scavs i get just full auto and not shoot 1 or 2 bullets because i am getting surprised

[edgy plover]

Oh then you'll have flea
5.45 PP
5.56 SOST is easy to craft and use or sell

Honestly 9mm PST and .45 FMJ are what I run the most
Low recoil head beamers

Until you hit level 23 and can use PK3 for everything until level 37

Actually at 30 the RPD becomes pretty fun too

[wary wasp]

matttttttteeeeee. just facking wrote a 300 text with all the ammo i am going to use. Can i not facking send it because it is to long......

[edgy plover]

just make it 2 messages

[wary wasp]

ah yeah, thanks

i will do that

[fringe jay]

lol

[daring ridge]

I don’t like customs no more

[stone moss]

Why

[daring ridge]

Because I got overwhelmed by scavs but killed 20 of them

[stone moss]

it can happen. lol

[daring ridge]

I started with mp133 with slugs and had to scavenge for guns and mags before I died

[young meteor]

Thats the best part of the experience

[daring ridge]

Ik but while scavs are coming from every angle it sucks

[stiff cape]

end of wipe stuff....

[random pond]

Hello! I am new (just bought the beta access last night) and was wondering if anyone was free later to help guide a new player through the ropes? New to the genre as a whole but the people over on Reddit were nice enough to send me here, and I would greatly appreciate some help and pointers.

[edgy plover]

When were you thinking?

[random pond]

I am free around 8pm EST tonight if that works.

I play on N.A. North East

[civic quest]

if you have lvl 2 workbench use mk 318 sost

other than that either id say flea m855

[brisk wedge]

best way to convert euros to rubles?

[grand pelican]

converting usd and euros to roubles is really inefficient, you should just keep the euros for an items case.

[brisk wedge]

okay

[brisk wedge]

gotta keep moving

[daring ridge]

I’ll make sure i don’t stop moving next time lol

[daring ridge]

Uhhh what map should I go to

[slender dew]

Terminal

😉

[daring ridge]

Can I go terminal with a shitty .366… nvm

[violet ether]

Anyone have any really good kinda beginner videos?

[slender dew]

yeah, hold

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epArHimbrBM&t=3s

[violet ether]

Amazing. Ty

[slender dew]

lonmg video but worth it

[young meteor]

KazamFam

[violet ether]

Oh yeah I've watched part of this one. It's great

Gonna finish the rest. Forgot about ot

[true hatch]

Any one got any recommendations on how to get to level 15 fast

I try to do my missions and always die

[tardy crypt]

who is Frav1u, are you in here???

dm me if you are

[orchid isle]

why wassup

[tardy crypt]

less than 15hrs in game, lvl 7...went after a buddy and I beamed him. was gonna offer up some teamwork since we're so close to wipe

he was running slick...no helmet, armor, backpack...

[tardy crypt]

i sent a friend req on there, in case he's not here...but thought i'd ask

[slender dew]

questing is the way. If you're on PvP atm it doesn't matter however, they took down flea as part of pre wipe events

[true hatch]

Oh ok

So I should just buy guns and pvp since wipe is near?

[slender dew]

I recommend doing the early quests so you have map knowledge and practice of them before wipe happens in 4 days

[true hatch]

Okay thanks

[lone shell]

whats the best place to find an electric motor?

[vague heart]

interchange oli shelves near the lockers

[lone shell]

thanks 🙂

[serene hatch]

for wipe, does my stats get reset too? like my kills and stuff, i know my hours will stay

[orchid isle]

mhm

[edgy plover]

take a screenshot of your overall stats at the end of every wipe

a great way to keep track of your progress over time

[serene hatch]

idc for my stats rn theyre ass i just wanted to keep track for next wipe cause i want to keep every dogtag i get lol

[edgy plover]

well yea they'll be ass - it's like your first wipe

Screenshot it so next wipe you can directly compare

It's a really good feeling

[serene hatch]

how do i unlock 6.8x51mm sig fmj ammo

[edgy plover]

pk3

[serene hatch]

fuc

[austere musk]

are cultists spawning on factory?

[fair summit]

Huh

[slender dew]

very small chance... like 2% at the most. I have never seen them there

[austere musk]

Even with event?

[slender dew]

haven't seen anything of people magically running into them with the event. I mean it is easy to go find out lol

[fervent raft]

Test it, just hit one night factory

[scenic arch]

night only

[austere musk]

I did and couldn’t find them but tbh the wiki says they have no set spawn so they could’ve been in some random corner of the map I never checked

[fervent raft]

Yeah they are funky on factory

It doesnt spawn that many of them either

[umbral widget]

i cant get into a game

im not sure if im having a queueing bug or there reallyt is noone playing

[fresh belfry]

why is PVE like tagged and cursed, why am i constantly getting rushed by scavs?

[elfin elm]

they spawn in larger numbers, work in small groups, and head towards large sounds like gunshots and explosions

it's intended to make pve a bit harder than a cake walk

and encourages you to keep on the move

[sharp tusk]

how does the game pick which mag/grenade i equip?

[elfin elm]

nades are random, unless you individual keybind them

with your hot bar

mags are the most full mag is reloaded first, or if they all have the same number of bullets, top left to bottom right

[sharp tusk]

oh that sucks

thank you for the help

[elfin elm]

it was an intentional choice to make it that way

one of several nerfs to avoid nade spam, which was preeeetty bad in the past

[bold kernel]

okay im so confused about this because the game is so vague but is a lower or higher penetration, like the number when you inspect ammo better

[elfin elm]

bigger number better

[bold kernel]

ty

[elfin elm]

protection levels go 1-6

1 being super bad

6 being best in the game

if you have the enemy's armor lvl multiplied by ten

you have enough pen to consistently go through the armor

so 10 pen for lvl 1, 20 for 2

so on

[bold kernel]

oh tysm

[elfin elm]

👍

[bold kernel]

that make alot of sense now

[elfin elm]

there's a bunch of special greeeeat nuance hidden in the game beyond that

but it's a good starting point

gives you an idea of how strong the bullets you have are

btw, scavs use lvl 2-4 armor usually

and players atm (the very end of wipe) are using lvl 5-6 armor

[elfin elm]

if people are busy, or you don't want to bother anybody you can DM me questions

I tend to enjoy Q&A for tarkov

[bold kernel]

alr ty

[elfin elm]

👍

[lone basin]

??wipe

[red thistle]

The official date for the 0.15 wipe is **August 20th. **

[iron forge]

Hi everyone, have a good one.
If I already own EOD of Tarkov, what benefits would buying TUE give me? And second question: If I already bought maximum stash upgrade on web page (so my stash size is EOD + max upgrade), would buying TUE give me even more stash space?
I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks a bunch.

[fresh belfry]

it makes streets unfucking playable

[edgy plover]

You’ll also get starting gear in the form of a couple modded guns and a couple cases

[edgy plover]

If you have EOD - it’s kinda worth
There’s a sale coming very soon too so feel free to save some cash

[rugged frigate]

could somebody send me a nice entry level build? completely new to this so idk what’s good or not

[edgy plover]

Oh i didn’t know that

[young meteor]

Whatever is in your starting stash is fine. Armor, rig, gun, meds

[rugged frigate]

yea i kinda already used everything

[iron forge]

Yeah, TUE is already at a discount.
TY everyone for help, have a good one.

[young meteor]

Ooohh, AKs74U is a really cheap assault rifle

[young meteor]

Early on, I wouldnt worry about modding guns too much. Grab a paca from ragman, AK from Prapor and just do your best to learn. Scav often to increase your pool of gear/make money.

[rugged frigate]

how much should i be looking to make from a scav? i usually do them on customs and get 200k-300k

[young meteor]

Idk, depends how you play. I dont play my scavs to cashmaxx. If you're poor, just loot gear from scavs every chance you get

[wild pasture]

I play on PVE Factory and sometimes I get over 500k
My best run was close to 750k

[rugged frigate]

kk thanks, also is there a healing guide?

[young meteor]

Yes, I recommend the guides in the launcher amd this vid https://youtu.be/epArHimbrBM?si=pVsPxm3rP71x3hr5

[cinder field]

you cant compare PvE to PvP. Also 750k is not thath much as a scav. I did my best Scav on PvE with profit from like 18 to 20 mil

[young meteor]

You can pick through it to the parts relevant to you

[wild pasture]

I'm a beginner

[young meteor]

Scavving factory for loot is nuts

[wild pasture]

I find it the best

[cinder field]

And thats ok. But you cant compare PvE to PvP. Scavving in PvP is a lot harder

[wild pasture]

Yeah I know
I wasn't comparing them to each other

[young meteor]

I guess I'm thinking for quantity. Compared to other maps Factory doesnt spawn much loot

[civic quest]

i used to scav interchange during the killa + tagilla event and made it out with some decent kits

i think i still have some of the plates i picked up in kiba back then

[edgy plover]

rubles per minute is the best metric

[young meteor]

I dont sweat it that hard. I just look for stuff I want or need. Min-maxxing cash is not my playstyle for sure.

[stiff cape]

streets has tons of stuff to touch

[outer cloud]

has wipe happened yet??

[slender dew]

TUESDAY

[grim skiff]

is there a button i am missing or something like it to be able to independantly turn on flash light vs laser, or is it all or nothing

two different devices on the gun

[lone shell]

best way to grind scav rep? just car extracts and not killing scavs as scav?

[edgy plover]

if it's two different devices you can't control them seperately

a bunch of tac devices are flashlight laser combos, and you can choose to run either or, or both

[grim skiff]

thanks i will ch ange that up

[edgy plover]

with Ctrl+t

[undone drum]

yes

[lone shell]

thanks

[undone drum]

also you get 0.01 per extract, so if you want spam factory and run through

[lone shell]

ty, everytime I do factory on scav now it places me in the basement :/

[velvet blade]

GZ: Any tips on getting out of Empire towards Capital Insight when there's a fight in the main street? It often feels overwhelming and I just retreat to underground again 😅

[edgy plover]

go underground and come up across the street from empire , in fusion

easier to slip out the back of fusion towards capital

[wooden island]

i got a rx6600 whit 16 gb ram and a ryzen 5 5600g and my game is running whit 50 fps whit all low settings
is normal?

[open remnant]

In which map is this

[wooden island]

customs

i see a dude get 100 fps on this map whit same config , my cpu stay at 20% , gpu 99 % and ram 85 %

[astral glen]

Your GPU should not be at 99% utilisation on Low settings

[wary wasp]

How is first day of wipe? And I mean the servers. Do raids crash? How long does BSG take to do .15 update? (like 6 hours or more?)

[astral glen]

Please send a picture of your settings, that doesn’t sound right

[hoary falcon]

homie is using the minimum specs

[astral glen]

To me it sounds like he has his monitor plugged into his CPU onboard graphics and not his GPU lol

[hoary falcon]

Yea I didn't notice his specs up above
you must be right

that's wild

[winter blade]

I3 ???

[stiff cape]

😎

gamin

[wooden island]

my settings are all low or off , graphics medium and shadows low , medium works better then low

meybe is beacuse of my ram ? i just order another 32 gb ram so i gonna have 48 in total

[astral glen]

That is likely to give you more issues

[wooden island]

how

[astral glen]

Having more RAM won’t give you more FPS

[abstract harness]

Ram does not like being mixed and matches

[astral glen]

and mismatching dimms will cause issues

[wooden island]

they gonna be same brand and speed

dual channel

[astral glen]

You’d be better off just using the 32GB kit in dual channel

But you won’t get more FPS

[wooden island]

i gonna test it , i also order an AIO so i could OV my cpu

[edgy plover]

I 100% got an FPS bump when i upgraded from 16 to 32 on streets

[astral glen]

Your CPU is on the weaker side for Tarkov, and as I said above, you shouldn’t be getting 99% utilisation on Low settings

[astral glen]

He’s talking about Customs, and that’s just a result of swapping from a page file to actual dimms of RAM

[wooden island]

in 3 mouths i gonna upgrade to a ryzen 9 7950 3d whit an rtx 4090 tuf ov oc , wil this be enouch?

[astral glen]

RAM is for stability, Tarkov will use as much as you can throw at it, but it’s not going to magically give you more FPS

[astral glen]

It would be a damn sight better than a mid range processor from three years ago with basically zero cache

[edgy plover]

Well not magically - but if you're maxxing out on RAM it will give you stutters and frame issues

[wooden island]

i need 2 jobs to be able to play tarkov, hope is worth

[astral glen]

Or you could get a 5700x3D for £200 and stay on the same platform and not have to change anything else?

[wooden island]

i want 4k max seetings

[astral glen]

You won’t get that

Even with 7800x3D

[wooden island]

so what i need then

[astral glen]

There isn’t anything you can buy currently

That is capable of what you’re asking

[wooden island]

the devs just dont care the game is expensive and dont even optimize

[edgy plover]

2 1080ti's and 16 gigs of ram

done and done

[astral glen]

I think you mean the game is unfinished and they’re going to work on optimisations before release

[wooden island]

in beta for 7 years

[astral glen]

Yes, that’s generally what unfinished means

[wooden island]

the game needs some competition

[edgy plover]

Would you prefer it was in beta for less time?
All those perfect "full-release" games like fallout 76, no mans sky, cyberpunk

[astral glen]

Yeah they should just say that Tarkov is 1.0 and finished then all the problems would surely go away

[wooden island]

yeah i get you but 7 years is like to much

[edgy plover]

take as long as you damn well need
game is awesome and getting better

[astral glen]

No it’s not?

AAA titles have spent longer in development with 100x the budget

[wary wasp]

Does someone has a RTX 3070 ti? How much frames do you get on streets? I get 38 fps on streets

[astral glen]

It’s likely not because of your 3070, what are your other specs?

[wooden island]

yeah but this one is in play test they dont focus on important thinks like hakckers , better skill matchmaking and perf. i have 80 hours and any player i fight whit have 2000 plus

[astral glen]

This is just false

[edgy plover]

Lmao, there will never be skill based matchmaking

That's part of the game

[wooden island]

i just wish this game will be polished in my life time

[edgy plover]

then be happy they're actively polishing it

[wooden island]

is the single extraction i like and make me feel some tension

[wary wasp]

Rtx 3070 ti, 16 gb ram, CPU: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz, 2904 MHz, 8 core('s), 16 logische processor(s)
, mother board: Basisbordproduct TUF GAMING H470-PRO (WI-FI)

[wary wasp]

do you need more specs?

are they on here?

[astral glen]

You should increase your page file size manually or get 32GB of RAM, your CPU is okay but not the best for EFT currently

??pagefile

[red thistle]

#community-support message

[wary wasp]

??pagefile

[red thistle]

#community-support message

[wooden island]

does disabling smt in process lanso do something?

[wary wasp]

i think i already did that, with the page file size

[winter blade]

Get at least an i9

[wary wasp]

If you can give my processor a 1 to 10 on scale what would you give it

for EFT

[astral glen]

For EFT? Like a 4

[wary wasp]

damm

how much fps do you guys get with a good processor?

[winter blade]

Depends on the map and if PvP or pve

[wary wasp]

pvp

[winter blade]

Pve on streets with a good setup maybe 70 fps

[wary wasp]

but for streets

[winter blade]

PvP will probably push 90

On a good setup

[wary wasp]

damm

[astral glen]

I have a 5800x3D, 32GB DDR4 3600Mhz and a GTX 1080 and I get ~100 FPS on Streets with AMD FSR 2.2 Quality at 3440x1440

[winter blade]

I would check pestily and see what specs he has

Tbh

[wary wasp]

rtx 3070 ti is much better then your gpu, isn't it? weird that i get only 35 fps on streets

[astral glen]

No?

[wary wasp]

what cpu should i get then?

[winter blade]

I7 is old that's why

[astral glen]

10th gen is quite dated now

But it's the lack of cache that holds it back

[astral glen]

If you only care about EFT performance, literally any x3D processor will beat 95% of Intel's offerings

[hoary falcon]

can you mix and match nvidia gpu with amd processor?

[astral glen]

Of course lol

[wary wasp]

but 1080 is worse then 3070ti isn't it? I am baffed that you said 1080 is better... i don't get it, do i miss something

[astral glen]

My processor is better, and my GPU is more than good enough for 1440p, it has 8GB of VRAM

[hoary falcon]

compatibility is still something i struggle with for PC's

new to it all ya know 🙂

[wary wasp]

why is streets so cpu heavy? Can anyone explain that

[edgy plover]

it's just the most detail heavy map
least optimized

[stiff cape]

tons of doors/glass/buildings list goes on

[astral glen]

Yeah I plan to get a decent 7900 GRE or something, maybe a 7800XT if I can't get that, I tested my friends for a couple weeks and with my system I could get over 144 FPS on Streets with AFMF

[wary wasp]

ahhh oke thanks!

[wooden island]

why game random lose fps masive between raids?

[edgy plover]

like in the load screen?

[astral glen]

Because you only have 16GB of RAM

Restart the game client

[wooden island]

after each raid?

[astral glen]

If you want it to not degrade sure

[edgy plover]

more often the better

[wary wasp]

i also should upgrade my ram i guess

what you guys are saying above this. I have 16 gb

[edgy plover]

Yes get 32

It's a really nice change and not that pricy at all

[visual seal]

i want to buy tarkov arena so i went to the buy page and it said i had already purchased it, im unheard edition btw

[wary wasp]

and what about 48 ram?

[edgy plover]

32 is plenty

[wary wasp]

unheard you get arena free

[edgy plover]

yea you own it

[astral glen]

Arena is included with Unheard

[visual seal]

on the launcher it says game not purchased

[astral glen]

Log in on the Arena website

[lone shell]

not even a decade ago 16gbs was plenty for RAM D:

[edgy plover]

It is for almost everything still
Just not tarkov

[visual seal]

i did what do i do now

[astral glen]

Install the game

[visual seal]

there is no option to

[wary wasp]

if you could chosse a cpu i would get for tarkov to get more frames on streets and general in tarkov. What cpu would you guys get? The 5800x3D for example?

[edgy plover]

same account as you log into eft website?

[astral glen]

Restart your launcher...

[visual seal]

yeah

it says package purchased

[astral glen]

Yes, so close the BSG launcher

And then open it again

[visual seal]

ive had unheard for months now

[astral glen]

After logging in to the Arena website

[edgy plover]

gotta link your acount on arena website

[visual seal]

oh ok

[tidal lagoon]

im pretty sure its good, but i think if i were upgrading myself id get the like newer x3ds like the 7800x3d or something

[edgy plover]

The 5800x3d punched well above it's weight - you'd be happy with it

[wary wasp]

how much fps should i get with the 7800x3d compared to the 5800x3d

the 7800 is 200 euro's more then 5800

[astral glen]

and you gotta fork out on the motherboard

[lone shell]

damn

[astral glen]

and ddr5 memory

[wary wasp]

oke wtf no

only 80 euros.....

[pastel kettle]

how much does a tank battery sell for? or should i save it for hideout/quests?

[astral glen]

5800x3D is £200 and is AM4

[wary wasp]

what is AM4?

[wary wasp]

What od you mean with this? i don't understsand

[astral glen]

The socket of the motherboard

5800x3D is AM4 platform

7800x3D is AM5 platform

Different sockets, different motherboards

[wary wasp]

so i need t o look what i can fit in my motherboard

[edgy plover]

so if you went for the 7800 you'd have to replace the motherboard and RAM

[astral glen]

You will need to buy a new motherboard regardless

You have 10700K

You cannot use AMD chips in that board

At all

[wary wasp]

Basisbordproduct TUF GAMING H470-PRO (WI-FI)
is my motherboard

first word is dutdc haha

dutch

[astral glen]

There is not a single AMD CPU that will work on your motherboard

[wary wasp]

what about if i go 5800x3d, Would i also have to replace my motherboard?

[astral glen]

...

Bro

[wary wasp]

sorry

ooohhh

[astral glen]

#beginners-assistance message

[wary wasp]

i get it, i can't use amd chips

[thick spade]

use a 4090 as your CPU

[woven siren]

bruh

[wary wasp]

i didn't ready every messages that i why

[astral glen]

5000 series AMD = AM4

7000 and 9000 series AMD = AM5

[woven siren]

is he on am5 or smt?

[astral glen]

No, he is on LGA 1200

[woven siren]

[wary wasp]

am i this, lol haha, i don't know shit about pcs....

[astral glen]

If you tried to put a 5800x3D into your current system

You would break the CPU

[wary wasp]

yeah i know that know

[hoary falcon]

how would you test if your mobo can take amd?

[wary wasp]

i read everything you send in this chat

[woven siren]

those pins gonna be more bent than me after a labs raid

[wary wasp]

hahaaha

[astral glen]

This isn't even a question really lol what

[woven siren]

you dont, you google it

[astral glen]

Your motherboard has a socket for your CPU

If it's not AM4, you aren't putting an AM4 chip in there

[wary wasp]

i guess this is a joke..... or is 4090 really a cpu

[hoary falcon]

are all mobos either intel or amd?

[woven siren]

its a joke

[astral glen]

Not only intel or AMD, they are specifically designed for a type of CPU architecture

[wary wasp]

damm i think i will just stick to the 40 fps..... on streets

[woven siren]

but its normally one or the other due to the structure of each chip

[wary wasp]

new motherboard, new ram and new cpu is like .... 700 euro's in pc hardware....

[woven siren]

yep

[astral glen]

Nah

5800x3D bundles on Scan in my country for £350

Comes with 5800x3D, B450 motherboard, 32GB DDR4 and a cooler

[woven siren]

WHERE TF WAS THIS WHEN I UPGRADED LAST WEEK

[wary wasp]

ooh shit, thanks for saying men!!!!

[hoary falcon]

I see, so when I google my mobo - do I search - "name of botherboard" + socket type" - or would something else be better?

[tidal lagoon]

das crazy, the cpu alone is 360 euro for me

[tidal lagoon]

yea do that

[astral glen]

I got my 5800x3D for £209 GBP

[hoary falcon]

thank you

[tidal lagoon]

damn bro

[wary wasp]

maybe ask chat gpt my guy, that is faster i think

[astral glen]

If you just search your motherboard, the specs will be listed on the manufacturer website

[woven siren]

ngl as a beginner, youre better off using pcpart picker, it only shows you whats compatible with the parts you want

[young meteor]

Use https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software?redirFrom=userbenchmark.com& it will tell you everything in your computer

[wooden island]

after a scav raid shold i auto sell all or move to stash and sell all manual to better traders?

[woven siren]

sell all if youre lazy, move to stash to maximize cash

[wooden island]

thnaks

[woven siren]

np

[wary wasp]

Somebody suggested to me that i should look to pestily specs. Does he has a good pc for EFT?

[woven siren]

anyone need help with anything, bored af

[woven siren]

unless you got the cash to burn this is overkill

[young meteor]

If youre on a budget, I doubt you'll be able to afford the same parts a streamer has. I'd use PC part picker and user benchmark to find viable upgrades for the parts you already have

[woven siren]

but still really good

[wary wasp]

what is mobo? motherboard?

[tidal lagoon]

ye

[wary wasp]

your profile picture hahaahhahaha

that one is a good one haha

[tidal lagoon]

mine?

[wary wasp]

yeah

[tidal lagoon]

oh lol thanks

[woven siren]

i upgraded to a 5700x3d, b550m k, 32gb ram and run streets at 70 to 100fps

you dont need a god tier pc

[wary wasp]

would you play streets with 40 fps....

[tidal lagoon]

i do

[woven siren]

i couldnt run streets or lighthouse till a week ago

thats how bad my old setup was

i got like 40fps on reserve lmao

[wary wasp]

But is there not a good cpu i can get for my motherboard..... that gives me more fps on streets..... or should i only really get the xd3 cpu's...

i get like 80 fps on woods

[young meteor]

Whats your mobo? I missed if you posted specs

[woven siren]

lga 1200

[wary wasp]

the one i made blue

[pallid ruin]

10700 should get you decent fps on streets no?

[wary wasp]

only 40 fps my guy...

[pallid ruin]

do you have low streets textured enabled?

[wary wasp]

yees

[pallid ruin]

damn wtf

ive gotten more fps on the i7 9750h

[wary wasp]

....

[pallid ruin]

stable 60

[wary wasp]

do you have like zero background shit going on with your pc

[dark trail]

I get like 50-70 on streets with i7-10700k 32gb ram and 3070

[wary wasp]

i have 3070 ti...

[dark trail]

Gpu is not too important for Tarkov

[woven siren]

is your ram at max speed?

[dark trail]

Mainly cpu and ram

[pallid ruin]

nah im referring to my laptop (my pc is better) but i used to run my laptop with no optimisation, wallpaper engine etc

[wary wasp]

i have 16 ram

[pallid ruin]

aahhh

[wary wasp]

and how can i get max speed?

[dark trail]

gg

[pallid ruin]

thats why

[dark trail]

get more ram bro

[pallid ruin]

your issue isnt the cpu, its ram

[wary wasp]

oke

so 32 is better

[wary wasp]

from 16 to 32

[pallid ruin]

i had 30fps on streets with 16gb and stable 60 with 32gb

[woven siren]

your ram doesnt start at max speed, go check

i had to manually change mine from 2100mhz to 3200

[woven siren]

its not maxed

[pallid ruin]

higher speed with 16gb wont really help tbf, 40fps is already high on streets

[woven siren]

touche

[dark trail]

Where do you change it

[wary wasp]

is there a video you can link me.. i don't know how to change

[woven siren]

but never hurts to max performance

[pallid ruin]

bios

[dark trail]

aight

[woven siren]

in your bios

[pallid ruin]

yep, but its important to mention that not all rigs can handle it - my pc BSOD's when I run it at 3400mhz and its fine at 3000

[woven siren]

its diff for each motherboard so go look up where the setting is in your bios

[woven siren]

ahh ok makes sense

[wary wasp]

are there any risks for increasing memory speed? Like that it gets damaged more?

[tidal lagoon]

ye i can barely turn mine up its fucking annoying

[pallid ruin]

as long as you dont play around with the voltage no, if your mobo supports xmp just enable one of the profiles in bios

and test it for a couple of hours on the xmp profile available, not all rigs can handle it

[pallid ruin]

yeah exactly same here

[woven siren]

is ram speed linked to psu?

[young meteor]

No

[pallid ruin]

when i first got my pc I thought something is fucked because it kept crashing when gaming, but after reading into the crash logs properly I realised the speed is the issue

my mobo and cpu simply couldnt handle 3400mhz

so i had to make a custom profile at 3000mhz

[woven siren]

ahh makes sense

[pallid ruin]

and since then its been butter smooth

[pallid ruin]

go into bios and see if you got xmp, if you do check what profiles are available - if you dont i wouldnt play around with it unless you want to test it thoroughly

you wont fuck it up as long as you dont play around with the voltages too much but for that i'd say you need some experience

[wary wasp]

i am doing this right now, thanks for advice!!

[pallid ruin]

np

[wary wasp]

and the other dudes, thanks for the advice!

[woven siren]

worst case you reset your bios to default settings

[pallid ruin]

yep exactly

[woven siren]

np bro

[pallid ruin]

just make sure youre comfortable with playing around with your pc, some people are scared of taking out the cmos battery and resetting the bios

[woven siren]

just dont drop the battery on the mobo

or its ggwp

[pallid ruin]

nah it should be fine unless it somehow touches the wrong connections

low probability even if you do

[wary wasp]

To get to the bios what should i search on google for help? Should i type in my motherboard?

to the point, i don't know how to get to the bios

[woven siren]

spam the dele key while your pc boots up

[wary wasp]

oke

[pallid ruin]

delete / f2 / f12

[wary wasp]

i am going to ask chat gpt

[woven siren]

or be lazy like me and make a shortcut to boot me into bios

[pallid ruin]

you can also hold shift while restarting it from windows

and just select the right option

[young meteor]

Love that background

[woven siren]

thx

[pallid ruin]

forgot what it was called but if you send a pic when you do we'll know which one it is

[woven siren]

its pretty af

[pallid ruin]

my bg is ranni

animated ofc

[young meteor]

You have the original file? Lol i want it on my phone

[woven siren]

ranni the goat

[pallid ruin]

i'd show the other wallpaper on my second monitor but its a bit nsfw so im not gonna send it

[pallid ruin]

fr

[woven siren]

nah i could prog screen shot it to fit phone tho

[pallid ruin]

right click the wallpaper -> open in explorer

it'll be there

[woven siren]

do i just sent the whole thing?

[pallid ruin]

ah its one of those

yeah its a bit more of a pain in the ass

whats the gif resolution?

if its the full res just send the gif

[young meteor]

Ty, found source online!

[woven siren]

reverse img search?

[young meteor]

Ye, and typed in "lonely cat visualizer"

[woven siren]

W

was going back through my clips

AND IM STILL MAD BOUT THIS SHIT

similar thing happened today too, im shooting spaghetti istg

[pallid ruin]

sounds like you got shot from the left no?

[woven siren]

i died to the guy above me

[pallid ruin]

ah

so yeah from the left

rip

[woven siren]

yh but it was my fault, i killed one on 2nd, one in front so i thought it was a 3 man

[young meteor]

And they'll say "do leg meta" 💀

[woven siren]

back to vector .45 rip then ig

[woven siren]

[pallid ruin]

i'd say 2 things:
1: bad scope for the situation, you had to point fire since your ergo was too bad to scope in on him so your spread was too high
2: shouldnt have instantly reloaded while going for the dead dude without clearing the area

but ye some might say leg meta

mostly the 2nd point though

[young meteor]

Just saying that cause he blasted that dude's legs good, and hes still up. I agree, not a fan of big scopes, especially in this kind of fight

[woven siren]

ibr i was trying to bhop and fourth to clear while reloading, got scared and double jumped, then ate shit

but yh you right, should of took my time

[pallid ruin]

yeah i personally usually run a 1-4x on customs and even then it can be a bit risky due to negative ergo - holo would be a godsend in this situation

but you cant really predict what will happen

[young meteor]

Im so on the fence about new armor. On the one hand, I'm surviving more shots, but semi-auto feels less useful and its causing me to instinctively mag dump and waste more ammo/be less precise cause shits just a bullet sponge contest

[woven siren]

ngl i feel that, tho it forces me to be more precise, been hitting way more headtaps

[pallid ruin]

i like semi-auto, i always aim for the head and instinctively go for headshots - semi auto usually has less recoil per say so its easier to tap the heads

but its my own preference

and in those instances ofc armor doesnt matter

[young meteor]

I am a semi-auto stan for sure

[woven siren]

factssss

if it wasnt for the fact i couldnt run lighthouse, sr25 and rsass would be my main weapons

[pallid ruin]

i go sr-25 on interchange, reserve and labs - sometimes shoreline

fun to use thats for sure

and its got that drip multiplier

[woven siren]

all of my best raids on labs were sr25

[pallid ruin]

nice, my best raid on labs was when I solo cleared a 4man next to black room with the sr25 just to get fucked by a dude hiding behind a plant

truly a labs experience

[woven siren]

there is always one more

[pallid ruin]

yep

[woven siren]

and half the time it aint even the same team

[lone shell]

is the ryzen 5 3600 enough for tarkov? loading loot takes 5 minutes for me 😒

[pallid ruin]

it definitely is, do you have an ssd and 32gb of ram?

if not thats your issue

[lone shell]

SSD and 16 gb RAM

[pallid ruin]

yeah ram is the issue

[lone shell]

was so happy when I finally got rid of my HDD lmao

had that thing for 10 years

[woven siren]

10?????

[pallid ruin]

that hhd mustve been on life support

i was fixing a laptop recently from a customer, it was 14 years old and wouldnt even run win10 - i got win7 on it and by switching to an ssd it went from 2mins boot time to 13 seconds

i cant even imagine running an hdd anymore

[lone shell]

should I try to keep the same ram? cuz I honestly don't remember the specific RAM I have in my PC currently I know its a G.Skill ripjaws V but I don't remember the speed

[pallid ruin]

you can check the speed

[woven siren]

i use mine for non comp games and my 3d/random stuff

[pallid ruin]

if you only got 2 ports and theyre full, just check your cpu and what ram it can run - then upgrade the ram by switching out the old sticks to new sticks which run at your cpus supported speeds

remember, you dont need the same brand ram - just matching the specs is good enough

[woven siren]

peak lol

[wary wasp]

I think it is already on xmp

[pallid ruin]

i switched out my hdd's for nvme's, cant go back now

[pallid ruin]

yep you got two profiles

select both separately and see if you can check somewhere what speeds it runs at

[woven siren]

i respect that, i would use another ssd buttttttt i cba

that and my cpu carry the load times for my stuff on HDD

5700x3d IS THE GOAT

[pallid ruin]

back when I played pubg the textures wouldnt load for the first minute or so, i could either upgrade ram or switch out to an ssd - i went for an ssd since it was cheaper and goddamn it i never switched back

i was thinking of getting an HHD for storage but nowadays the prices of ssds are so cheap (in comparison to 8 years ago or so) that its a no-brainer for me

i remember when I paid 100eur for a used 128gb sata ssd

[woven siren]

oh yh ofc, my next upgrade is prob gonna be getting another nvme , my old setup was an old ssd with 250gb storage

[pallid ruin]

nowadays i can get a 1tb nvme for the same price or cheaper

[woven siren]

valorant and tarkov ate all of that

[pallid ruin]

i have a couple of old setups and ngl they were so trash that my current pc is a heavens send

[woven siren]

relatable

[pallid ruin]

def wont upgrade anything major for the next couple of years

[woven siren]

my old pc was ddr3

[pallid ruin]

bro i got 4 brand new DDR sticks that are 64 MB lol

ofc I aint gonna use them

but im keeping them for just times sake

[woven siren]

lmaooo

[pallid ruin]

yeah my 3 old pcs had ddr3 lol, theyre not bad if you got 32gb but at 16gb or less ddr3 hurts a lot lmao

[woven siren]

my old pc was
cpu - i7 4790
gpu - 5700xt (yes the bottleneck was bad)
mobo - Ancient artefact
ram - 16gb dr3
psu - 500w

absolute poverty

[wary wasp]

My pc won’t start up now

[woven siren]

💀

[wary wasp]

But I can fix it

[pallid ruin]

time to reset bios, thats why i mentioned you gotta be comfortable with doing that

[wary wasp]

No no

No problem I can fix

[winter blade]

Rig is on life support, 78 health??

[lone shell]

same lol

[woven siren]

many bullets were eaten

[woven siren]

fellow ddr3 survivor

[wary wasp]

I also changed “asus performance enhancement” to enable, it was on disabled

[pallid ruin]

so, my older rig has i3 2120, gtx 750ti, 8gb of ddr3 1666mhz lol

and im not even counting my old laptops because damn those are ancient

not worth mentioning 512MB of ddr2 ram

[wary wasp]

My pc is now restarting

[wary wasp]

Just changed the settings to old ones

[woven siren]

imma assume your psu should be chillin

[wary wasp]

I will try to not fuck that one and only do memory to 3200

[pallid ruin]

whats your cpu?

i can quickly look up speeds for you cpu

[wary wasp]

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz, 2904 MHz, 8 core('s), 16 logische processor(s)

[wary wasp]

does max memory mean that i can't get 4 ram slots....

[pallid ruin]

going above 3000 might result in BSOD (if your mobo is good it probably wont but theres a chance it will) so i'd stick around 2933 / 3000, the difference between 3000 and 3200 isnt big enough to play around with it tbf

[wary wasp]

oke

[pallid ruin]

if you got a mobo that supports dual channel memory you can run 4 sticks

most do nowadays but its worth checking

basically 99% of them support it so i wouldnt be worried about that unless your mobo is old af

its just that you need to follow the slot order on your mobo, if you only got 2 sticks make sure theyre in the right spaces so they run dual channel

[winter blade]

how is this

[pallid ruin]

aka. usually 2-4 or 1-3 slots, never next to eachother

[pallid ruin]

for tarkov? cpu is good, ram could be an issue

you will run the game no issues

but you might experience stutters in some circumstances

[pallid ruin]

im assuming you got a dedicated gpu?

[winter blade]

4050

[pallid ruin]

yeah you'll be fine

id recommend upgrading your ram to 32gb if possible

and make sure you run it off an ssd

but you wont have issues playing the game

[winter blade]

it is on ssd atm

[pallid ruin]

ye good

[stiff cape]

2.1ghz

oof

[winter blade]

first thing i looked at was more ram as well, so glad to hear thats whats recommended

[stiff cape]

i didnt think that gen would go that low

[pallid ruin]

thats base, it's 4.8ghz on turbo which is what it will run at in tarkov

[pallid ruin]

ngl lowkey same but turbo is what counts

kinda low for base tho, but it wont affect performance

well 4.8 ish, it could be 5ghz or it could be 4.6 depending on your silicone lottery

[stiff cape]

i just am more perplexed 13th gen even has that

[pallid ruin]

yeah true

[stiff cape]

is HX a laptop?

[pallid ruin]

was about to say, it is

so it makes sense to be 2.1 base

[stiff cape]

makes sense now

[pallid ruin]

smart tbf, run on lower frequency when not needed to manage the temps

[stiff cape]

for sure

[winter blade]

luckily my laptop comes with an open ram slot and another ssd slot

[stiff cape]

i dont condone laptop gaming for a game like tarkov anyways just thought that was odd at first glance

[winter blade]

just got to have a good laptop

[stiff cape]

wrong

[pallid ruin]

tbf for many people thats the only choice, its not bad but it will definitely shorten the lifespan of the laptop by a ton

[stiff cape]

i get some done have a choice

dont mean i gotta condone it

anyways sorry continue on!

[winter blade]

well good thing its not your money to spend

[stiff cape]

i interjected, im out wave

no doubt, enjoy burning out your laptop

[pallid ruin]

yeah my "dont have a choice" was getting a laptop for uni + gaming, just to quit uni and stay with the laptop until I pay off the loan lol

but i managed to pay it off early by making some money on the side which also paid for my new pc so thats good

[winter blade]

good laptops dont burn out anymore, dont last as long as pcs but we arent in 2010 anymore technology has improved

[pallid ruin]

negative about my pc is that I bought a prebuild - BUT my pc itself cost as much as the gpu would itself and then i just upgraded the parts

[winter blade]

not a bad deal

[stiff cape]

not lasting long as PCs was always the point

[pallid ruin]

well depending on the laptop they do - i am a perfect example for that lol, my laptop is dying even though its only 4 years old

atm it serves as a separate monitor for my pc

[stiff cape]

its not a closed gap, especially the beefier laptop ya get

so youre still burning out your laptop in the end

[winter blade]

true

[pallid ruin]

yeah if you dont need a laptop but you get it for gaming thats where its fucked, you couldve gotten a pc for the same price with most likely 30% better performance and about 100% longer lifespan

[stiff cape]

anyways i just initially interjected cause 2.1 seemed low but forgot laptop

[pallid ruin]

but if you need a laptop with an additional perk of gaming it kind of makes sense

but still, you will overpay

[stiff cape]

for sure

[winter blade]

exactly what i did

i needed a laptop for school, and i was moving across country after being done with school, and i moved everything i own in a 09 2 door accord, so a full pc was not an option

[pallid ruin]

yep i understand that decision and as long as it lasts you until you upgrade it aint a bad deal

[winter blade]

so far so good!

[wary wasp]

i got a facking time out because i sended something with a hashtag in a sentence.....

10 minute timeout

[pallid ruin]

for me it was "so far so good!", a year later one usb dies "thats fine i still got 2 more + usb C!", a year later another usb dies "fuck! but at least i got 1 more and usb c!", then 2 months later another usb died and i was like "shit, usb c it is" and then it started having issues after 1 more month and i was like "ok time to buy a pc until the usb-c dies"

[winter blade]

also, i randomly keep getting "sub task complete for night sweep" and i dont have that as a task

[winter blade]

rip

[lone shell]

I found the problem with my PC RAM speed was at 1600....probably the whole time I've been running with the DDR4 stuff

[pallid ruin]

🫡

[wary wasp]

yepp hahahaha

crazyyy

[edgy plover]

You just get automodded for saying certain slurs lmao
not even a timeout

[pallid ruin]

yeah i literally got my message deleted 10 mins ago for saying "fuck" even tho i said it more than once before, i have no goddamn clue how that bot works

look, it went through now

but it didnt about 10mins ago

mysteries of the tarkov server ig

[wary wasp]

my mpx profile was on btw. all from the beginning even when you said i should turn it on. but my speed is still 2933. I am going to change to the mpx 2 profile. i have it now on mpx 1 profile and try if it changes something

[edgy plover]

I ran into that once

[wary wasp]

So i asked chat gpt for help. My cpu frequency is 2933, so my memory frequency goes to 2933. If i want to change i have to change voltage and timings but i am not gonna do that. chat gpt also said that changing from 2933 to 3200 is a bare minimal chance in performance

[pallid ruin]

i mean, exactly what I said

so ye keep it at 2933

[patent mortar]

any tips to get XP faster?

[wary wasp]

missions

scav headshots

boss kills but more difficult

[lone shell]

If that's set properly then why does task manager show memory speed at half that with two sticks?

[wary wasp]

back to the pc shit. The guys who said they have better fps then me with a even worse cpu than me. How much gb do you have? Is upgrading to 32 gb ram really the issue?

[dark void]

searching for a new player to be my duo throughout the wipe, preferably EU or willing to run morning time NA from September onwards.

Also looking to do 24h nonstop when wipe hits so hopefully we can do that together too
DM for more info

[young meteor]

RAM is a limiting factor with Tarkov, a lot of people report similar issues. Idk if the memory leak thing is still an issue as well

Also, speaking of PC stuff, does anyone know what the limiting factor for "Loading Loot" is? Is it based on read/write speed of memory?

[wary wasp]

i think ssd helps with that

[young meteor]

I also thought so, but I have NVME and my friends load loot faster than me

[wary wasp]

For my ram upgrade. I have now 2 sticks of 8 gigs. Should i got 2 sticks of 16 gigs. Or my setup now: 2 x 8 and then buy new 2 x 8 so i have intotal like 4 x 8

[tidal lagoon]

what do ur friends have

[young meteor]

SSDs I think, not sure of their other hardware

[tidal lagoon]

ok

[young meteor]

I just know my computer is better 😎

[tidal lagoon]

real

[lone shell]

I guess nobody has an answer to my question hmmmmm I wonder what's wrong then

[tidal lagoon]

i cant really see much on the pic but when it comes to showing half speed afaik its normal some software shows half speed but since its DDR meaning double data rate u just 2x what it shows

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/ram-speed-is-different-in-cmd-and-task-manager/2e788d17-6dcc-46d0-83fa-377663bfcfa1

[lone shell]

Thanks

just weird in memory-z it's DDR4-2133 but also 3200CL16

[pallid ruin]

yeah it is, 32gb is basically what you want for tarkov no matter the speed

you can have ddr3 1666mhz ram but with 32gb it wont be an issue

[pallid ruin]

my old laptop (anecdotal evidence) had 16gb of ddr3 1666mhz - i had constant long load queue times + fps drops while shooting, after upgrading to ddr3 32gb all of it went away

[wary wasp]

Should i just get 4 x 8 sticks? Or remove the ones i have and go buy 2 x 8 sticks?

[wild pasture]

How do i quickly buy from flea market?

[tidal lagoon]

wdym by that

like u can click buy on an item and then press Y so u dont have to drag ur mouse to the yes button

[pallid ruin]

if you want to remove sticks, go for 2x 16

[wild pasture]

Yes that's what I meant

[tidal lagoon]

alright

[wild pasture]

Thanks!

[tidal lagoon]

np

[pallid ruin]

if you think you wont upgrade in the future to 64, go for 4x 8 - but if you consider upgrading to 64, go for 2x 16 - it leaves open 2 slots for future upgrades

important to mention, most games do not require 64gb of ram (unless you're a fellow DCS player like me then yeah upgrade to 64 might be necessary) - but if its the same cost for you to get 4x8 and 2x16, go for 2x16

you cant predict the future and maybe you will want to upgrade

[wary wasp]

what is DCS?

what game

[pallid ruin]

digital combat simulator, a "game" (more of a simulator) where 64gb of ram is recommended

[wary wasp]

ooh yeah

i know

[tidal lagoon]

i play it 32gb in vr

[pallid ruin]

yep atm same - but when I load into a big server i can see some instances where it lacks ram and it sucks some from my nvme

[tidal lagoon]

ye for sure, have issues a lot when loading in and such but after all the loading is done and stuff it runs pretty smooth

smoother than tarkov

[pallid ruin]

ye funnily enough smoother than tarkov thats for sure

last time i was running a long mission (about 6hrs) it was overloaded though and it was running out of ram on 32gb - it couldve been a ram leak considering im running beta (like most dcs players tbf)

after about 4hrs of playing it started chattering whenever i was locked in by a sam site

[wary wasp]

Can you cook greandes in eft? like holding the grenade in your hand and waiting a bit so it will blow up quicker when it lands

[edgy plover]

No

[pallid ruin]

nope

people irl dont cook grenades since its too dangerous so I dont think it will ever be implemented

[wary wasp]

oke

i always cook grenades in games hahaha

i am not gonna work in the army that is forsure

[pallid ruin]

[edgy plover]

would be really funny all the times people would think they had a m67 and accidentally pull out a vog
try to cook it for 3 seconds and....

[pallid ruin]

dw the army would slam the idea out of your head to the point where you wont even think about cooking a grenade

[wary wasp]

yeah hahaha

[pallid ruin]

"1001, 1002, boom"

[pallid ruin]

basically, grenades never have a set fuse time - it's always between X and Y, the F1 as an example has a fuse between 3.2 and 4.2 seconds irl, you dont want to cook it since you dont know when it will explode

irl ofc

[wary wasp]

ooh shit

[pallid ruin]

you can really see it when you throw live grenades, some take shorter time and some take longer

[wary wasp]

i didnt know that

did you upgrade your ram when you played eft? And so if you did how much fps did you get more?

probably giong to buy tomorrow memory and installing it, but i am just curious

[pallid ruin]

when i upgraded from 16gb to 32gb i've gained about 30fps

[wary wasp]

dammm

i have like 30 fps on streets

at worst

[pallid ruin]

its dependant on the system ofc but streets was the biggest fps boost

[wary wasp]

60 fps on streets would be nice

[pallid ruin]

your cpu is def good enough for 60fps, your ram is def limiting it

[wary wasp]

oke

for tomorrow with the pc tinkering. If i buy 2 x 8 for +16 gigs. Can i let the 2 x 8 gigs sit or do i have to remove them

[pallid ruin]

just do remember, the fps boost is dependant on the system - every cpu and gpu might have the same name but the silicone differs - so called "silione lottery", some gain more fps some gain less

[pallid ruin]

that depends on the ram you currently have inside

[wary wasp]

ddr4

2 sec i will give name

[pallid ruin]

if you match the speeds (not necessary but highly advisable) and the latency (cl) you can keep the old ram

[wary wasp]

Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x8GB 3200 C16

[pallid ruin]

if you buy 2 more sticks of 3200mhz + c16 you can keep the old ram :)

[wary wasp]

so i should just buy the same ram
