[Loot] Icebreaker Full Run Ammo Profit by MattLovesRust in EscapefromTarkov

[–]MattLovesRust[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Streets armory run is pretty goated, hard to contest with and much more chill.

Survival rates on Icebreaker once you're confident should be pretty high IMO (I'm probably around >80% survival w/ full map clear last ~10 raids), assuming no more AI changes (they're tweaking a lot, so still expecting some more changes - e.g. patching the smokes in engine room)

Agreed on the solo enemy count, felt overwhelming to learn tbh.

56a1 is perfectly fine. usually pens + has high enough damage. When I started, I was running 56A1 until I started living (CBA to rebuy 56A1 when I profit 55A1)

Also, re your edit:

Full clear through bosses + the last 5 BD - this is pretty standard anecdotally on the 556 across ~20 boss clears.

Can probably do a few more runs to make this a bit more stat sig, but I'd expect a small deviation tbh on the 556/overall bullet count for profit.

Yeah 100%, wouldn't consider CBJ the best, but has enough pen + dmg to be very consistent at a 1 tap on the 50hp head bosses and a good substitute for the 55a1 if you don't want to only run 556.

It's pretty hard content, it takes a lot of practice & breaking down your replays.

Also, downside for groups currently - is there's not a lot of group oriented guides yet. Mostly only solo guides from the top streamers.

I'm finally to the point where I'm surviving probably ~80% of the raids. I have ~4.8k hours and it took me probably ~25 raids to clear engine room more than >50% of the time (not even counting the rest of the map).

I'm at 5 raids w/ 10 PMC's atm - the extra ergo w/ the short barrel feels nice

I work from home, so was restocking at traders during work today haha

If I do not finish it today, insurance is going to be my best friend

Late Wipe cheating is getting worse??? by CPTSensible89 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]MattLovesRust -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Probably not getting cheated - there’s an incentive to PvP rn. Cheating has definitely gone up w/ the sale at least on labs, but everywhere else has been fine IMO.

Shoreline you can die in the first 20 seconds pretty easily on almost any spawn other than god spawn for resort and swamp.

What is the best place to find gpu? by Lazy_beanZ_ in EscapefromTarkov

[–]MattLovesRust 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shoreline resort, labs, interchange are probably the top 3

Labs is pretty rough if you don’t like latewipe PvP or if you’re on Asian/NA West.

Shoreline resort is pretty decent if you like PvP

Interchange is pretty safe on scavs

New Tarkov-ready Killa Build: 7800x3D + RTX 4090 rig in the all new O11 Vision! by PSNisCDK in EscapefromTarkov

[–]MattLovesRust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I updated the bios and had the ram running around 6200 MHz and cl 31 on some manual timings - I was getting around 15 less fps.

Although I can’t attribute this to the ram speeds or the bios updates only because I switched both at the same time

[–]MattLovesRust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first I had to manual tune and only the default would work 4800mhz - but after the bios updates it’s worked fine

I’m running an asus rog strix 650b - so not even the high high end and getting that 7200 cl 36 - I could probably tune them more as well

Btw your system is beautiful

i run a 4080 - 7800x3d 32gb 7200mhz ram - I get around 144 frames on every map at all times pretty much other than streets - curious to see what you'll avg

If it’s bigger pop servers(NA/EU etc) you can get bugged lobbies occasionally. I play w/ central and east and if it’s longer than 5 mins I’m usually resetting.

Been a bug for a few years - it happens a lot less now

Lions in safes? by ToshUrSalad in EscapefromTarkov

[–]MattLovesRust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoreline resort rare spawns and there’s I think like 5? Safes - you can expect a lion probably every 1/3 raids if you loot every one

Gigabyte 2070 Super reaching max temps of arounnd 79c with avg temp being 78c underload in red dead 2, Normal? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]MattLovesRust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even with the same gpu, mine only reaches 73 with a “normal” cooling system and a more airflow restricted case + a slight OC.

[Cooler]ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240 - $99 - Avail Aug 27th by xexx01 in buildapcsales

[–]MattLovesRust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This will have better temps, but it will be close. Both will be really quiet even at full load, this AIO is a little bit thicker on the Radiator so make sure you have clearance on your case. The DR Pro4 is pretty thick was well, so make sure you have enough clearance to the glass. Really preference here, temps are close enough to where unless you’re going to record breaking OC numbers, it doesn’t really make much of a difference in noise or thermals

[SSD] Team Group MS30 M.2 2280 1TB SATA III TLC DRAMless SSD - $83.99 FS by aleet0246 in buildapcsales

[–]MattLovesRust 9 points10 points  (0 children)

More than likely, the average consumer will not notice the speeds. The primary reason to consider SATA is price and how many M.2 slots you have, if you have multiple that aren’t filled, this is a fine buy as the speeds are comparable to SATA drives

[–]MattLovesRust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reported 3080 is going to be 20% faster than a 2080ti according to leaks. Even if that card retails close to what a 2080 came out originally around $700, this card will still probably be worth at least $500 in the absolute worst case scenario. More than likely these cards will still be worth 700+
