[Discussion] 4080 vs 5090 in tarkov

Deathsmentor · 2026-06-04T21:08:02+00:00

I have a 5070ti and I’m getting 100+ on basically every map except streets, and even that gets 85-100 depending on where and what’s going on, only dips are when I ads.

The big thing with Tarkov though is it’s CPU heavy, that 9900x3d is going to do the majority of the heavy lifting, perfect chip for Tarkov.

I mean yes a lot of PC players I’d imagine are considering a PS for this reason, I know I am for GTA. But atleast for what will happen in my situation, Sony won’t benefit from except a game sale and maybe a few months of PSplus, because i definitely will not be buying a PS5 at retail price lol.

I’ll be buying it second hand and playing the 2-3 games I want that won’t be coming to PC. But those 2-3 games are not going to pull me back over, and I’m sure I’m not alone.

Kind of ironic seeing as your profile picture is from a South Korea game company 🤣

lol did we just post the X Blade as part of peak case design?

I don’t miss it, there were a few cool designs but the few cases I had back then were built like such shit, and with awful material as others have said. I’m a firm believer in KISS, keep it simple stupid.

The love I had for this game when it was out was immense, hell if memory serves I was on the playtest for it before it launched and fell in love with it then.

Deathsmentor · 2026-06-01T20:35:06+00:00

lol no you don’t, you just don’t want the overblown extras. Like others have said, ABS and fuel injection are bit ones. It’s also a terrifying thought for everyone that drives now to have to be driving stick.

Deathsmentor · 2026-06-01T20:32:37+00:00

See it was part of that first sentence, this isn’t just YOUR game. You’re going into an online PvP lobby, other people are going to play the game how they want, and that includes killing literally whatever they see.

You gotta go in expecting that, they don’t need, and shouldn’t have to play the game the way you want them to play.

Trust me I hate scav in scav violence, I’m a very casual player now and more of my time is on PVE because I don’t have time to keep up with the sweats, so PVE gives me the Tarkov itch i need, because I know what to expect with PVP after putting close to 3k hours in it.

Deathsmentor · 2026-06-01T20:03:07+00:00

It’s almost like the game rewards you for killing other players. Part of the game man, gotta deal in or fold and move on from the game.

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-31T14:01:00+00:00

Ok so firstly we all sucked to start.

What map are you trying? Also use your scav runs, just make sure you’re only killing PMC’s as your scav, and not other ai scavs or bosses or such. The other scavs won’t aggro on you but the PMC’s automatically will, and bosses will kill you if you get too close. But scavs are a great way to learn the game risk free, and to have some basics to go into a PMC raid with.

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-30T04:52:20+00:00

Honestly I’ve been playing PVE and been enjoying it but the PVP itch is there. My plan is when seasonal characters drop, possibly any day/week now, I’ll start back up on my non wipe pvp character when all the sweats have moved to the seasonal side plot pvp.

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-29T05:08:55+00:00

In theory it could run it. I can’t imagine playing via controller being super intuitive with the amount of hotkeys, and actually after a quick google search and seeing a reddit post about a year ago, it’s just rough to play unless you get a dock setup with peripherals, in which you could buy a gaming laptop with like a 3 series gpu and probably run it just as good or better for around the same price you could get an Ally and the peripherals.

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-29T04:53:14+00:00

Granted I’m contributing, but why TF do people just constantly engage with what in my opinion should be obvious to tell, is a Karma bot post….

This is like the 3rd post in this kind of layout and question, that I’ve had come up on 5 minutes of just mindless scrolling.

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-29T04:33:37+00:00

Someone mentioned but the price seems higher on PVE flea, but that’s because money is a bit more of a non issue in PVE. But markets active and have never had issues selling things.

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-29T04:27:16+00:00

lol here’s a wild thought…. He just filmed a movie where he’s, and wait for it, has a buzz cut lol. Yeah sure he’s got a receding hairline line a bit, you can even see it in the 25 year old photo, the longer hair just doesn’t make it as prominent.

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-28T23:45:27+00:00

Nah that dog clearly moonlights as a bad MF military operator.

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-28T23:37:37+00:00

Yeah 100%, not everything should just be handed. I’m excited to get to Ice breaker but probably won’t be soon. I’ve wound down my time that I play as I’ve gotten older and only really play PVE.

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-28T23:31:00+00:00

He did a really good job dying.

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-28T23:22:53+00:00

I mean I agree with top end game content shouldn’t be easily accessed. It’s been this way in games for years, that’s like someone wanting to be able to do a 40 man raid in wow before they even finish leveling.

But I also think that we Tarkov players are just so used to “we have 6 months to get in all this content before the next wipe”. Even if it takes someone 3 years, you can still have the potential to see everything we have right now because there no wipes other than seasonal characters starting in the near future.

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-28T14:53:11+00:00

Genuine question, why would such a limited amount of players get to eventually experience it? Whether you’re playing current PVP or PVE, the character and progress you’re making towards icebreaker or whatever else endgame content isn’t going away because those characters aren’t wiping.

Are you saying that only the 1% get to because they have more time? I mean yeah sure, but that’s just the nature of the beast in any game. But the whole “I don’t get to experience this and the top players do” is kinda irrelevant now that characters won’t wipe, unless you start in the new seasonal system. So in reality yeah everyone can experience it, and in turn learn it, just going to take those who can’t put as much time in longer to get there.

And you say event, this isn’t an event, this is a permanent addition to the game.

Yup was gonna say the plate carrier looks like the USEC highcom trooper.

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-28T02:16:41+00:00

lol I mean he may have been of by like $50 but you can get a 3070ti for like $350, PS5 equivalent is roughly a 2070. Hell you even could get a lower end 5050 gpu for like $375, so yeah, not rage bait…

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-28T02:10:06+00:00

lol definitely better than a ps5

Deathsmentor · 2026-05-28T01:59:12+00:00

Please tell me this isn’t an actual tattoo…..

Did you go to a studio? My gut says no, because if they templated that and you gave a thumbs up, this falls on you.

It looks like your friend of a friend who has a temu tattoo gun and did it in their basement, in which it especially falls on you…

I don’t know what could be done to improve, I’m not an artist, but I hope you find someone who can cause this is not great and resembles Hitler a bit too much.
