I just did my first offline raid in like a year to play around with a gun and I had NO IDEA that scavs just randomly popped off shots so often. I was hearing them all the way across the map and it was pretty frequent. I wonder how many times I've changed my route to avoid PMCs on the way out of a raid but it was just bots being dumbasses.

You kinda get used to the random sniper potshots and the bot stuck shooting randomly in the gas station on customs

Of course the entire Tarkov network crashes when I'm extracting with Jaeger's last pack of croutons.

Jaeger hates you so much he’ll bring down the entire game just to see you suffer.

Hello everyone; new poster to the thread with a hardware question here. My coworker, who is currently PC-less, has gotten me into Tarkov. I'm going to be basically rebuilding a new PC, so I figured I would sell them mine (minus my graphics card and SSD that I will be keeping) so they'd be able to play as well. This is what I'm running: CPU - Intel i7-4770 @3.4GHz GPU - GTX 1080 RAM - 32gig DDR3 And I have have the game running on an SSD. I seem to run the game fine after following a guide on Youtube. I get 65-85 frames in day time with no stutters, while getting 45 and sometimes down to 30 frames at night time... but no still no stutters. If I didn't have an FPS counter on I don't think I would've noticed the difference in frames? ----- My question is: should I upgrade the CPU for them, or would the i7-4770 be enough? And what kind of graphics card would they be looking at getting. I have a 1080 (that I'll be keeping), but from the videos I've watched it sounds like this game is more CPU-intensive. I have little knowledge about hardware parts and performance, so it would be very helpful if someone could point me into the right direction of if my CPU is good and what GPU works just fine and wouldn't break the bank for them. ----- Thank you in advance! I really wanna help them and wasn't sure where to ask this question. I haven't had too much time to test everything out and I don't wanna give them something that doesn't run the one game they will be playing. EDIT: I should've said this earlier. I'm selling the PC for $100. soupy. fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Dec 20, 2021 |

It depends on the price of what you are gonna sell that computer with, because for some 800 to 1000 bucks you can get decent prebuilts. Newer processors especially are quite a loving long jump from a 4770. Like this. It comes with an RTX 2060, which will be a big deal when DLSS comes to Tarkov hopefully soon-ish, but also other games with DLSS. I'd get 8gb more memory though. https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC...ctronics&sr=1-3 If you're selling at 200 dollars or something, then it's worth trying, but getting a new GPU is gonna set you back 300-400 bucks easily, at which point you are climbing towards the cost of an entry level prebuilt anyway at this point. Finding an RTX 2060 not in a prebuilt is gonna be like 500 bucks AT LEAST right now.

And while the RTX 2060 isn't the fastest card out there, it being RTX is a MASSIVE improvement in any game that allows DLSS like Cyberpunk, RDR2, Ready or Not, or anything with a DLSS. Nikita has repeatedly said DLSS isn't too far in Tarkov from now.

Newer processors especially are quite a loving long jump from a 4770. Thank you a ton. I was going to set them up with a homie deal of $100, basically giving them the computer for free and "charging for labor" by adding any new parts (CPU [if necessary], GPU, SSD) to my current PC. They're getting the case as well. They didn't set a price range for their build after I figure out what's necessary for them. They want to play Tarkov, and only Tarkov, with a hardware experience that doesn't take them out of the game. I'll wait for what you think, or anyone else thinks, then get back to them. I don't know squat about this stuff, so you and this thread is a huge help. Thank you. E: Didn't read the other comments in the thread relating to this topic until now. Hmm. Thank you for all being informative.

In the end, you spend so much money on the GPU to get your old parts into play, that you are almost in the cost of that pre-built that I linked, at what point it's just a sunk cost fallacy of the old parts and throwing one small amount on top of it would get you a brand new computer. Any other time getting some 200 dollar GPU on top of your old would do fine. With COVID? There's no such things, unless you get a 8 year old mid-range poo poo card.

Yeah people are buying 1030s for $150 to use for the evga step up program. I don’t even know what a $200-300 card would look like these days unless you got super lucky with a local buy or hook up.

To give a little more context to what everyone else is saying… Buying standalone video cards is a nightmare right now, between Covid and crypto mining the good cards are impossible to find at retail and that has put a pinch on all the value cards, so everything is super expensive. OEMs are able to offer prebuilt systems with decent cards at more reasonable prices because they buy their cards on contract well ahead of time. So right now is one of the times where buying prebuilt systems is typically cheaper than building your own.

I spent six months trying to get a video card and managed it; the prebuilts aren't good deals anymore either, despite that being the common wisdom. It's true that you can still at least get them, they are in stock, but given how lucrative the resale value is if prebuilts were actually a good deal they'd be out of stock too, as the scalpers buy them en masse and resell the parts at a huge markup. The prebuilt vendors know this too, and are charging huge markups. Your 1080 should run Tarkov fine. I was running it at 60 FPS with a 680, albeit at lower graphics (but definitely not potato mode). You will probably have to turn some stuff down or off, but it will still look good and run well.

That’s the issue. For a card from september 2014. Add to that the price of a new SSD 100$, and cost of OP’s old computer of 100$ and you are at 500 bucks for a… A computer from 2014. Yikes.

So how has the game changed since I looked into this like a year ago? Is there anywhere I can see that will tell me what has changed in significant patches? I've been looking to get this for quite a while but I how difficult it was put me off a little bit, but more importantly I want to know if cheating etc is a significant issue? How organised are goons in this?

I go upstairs, sweep the chem room, it seems light on loot. i think i only found bandages. weird but both the other doors were closed. i've been keeping my ears peeled this whole time, my rat sense is tingling. no sounds though. i pop into the room with the bookshelves and filing cabinets (unlooted too). sweep the first library nook, nothing. sweep the second, looking from right corner to left corner, there's a pmc standing in the left corner. as i turn and see him, boom. single shot, head, eyes. pmc's name was _RAT__ATTACK_, of course. dude never moved a muscle the whole time i was looting the building. if i had swept the room properly i'd probably have had him. i dont even think he was armored.

I have lost a 1v1 with a scav AI on the customs bridge, and I rounded the corner at ZB-1011 and took a shotgun to the face after hearing shouting in Russian. I tend to run customs a lot since it's the only map I can run without a map now. I am trying to scav on interchange and stuff but I get lost so easy. I really don't care for woods, and I am being told I need to figure this map out.
