Will PoE2 only run on current GEN CPUs/GPUs?
|
So I have tested the game on both a RTX 2080 and 3080. With an i9-9900K.
Campaign runs smooth-ish. Most of the map pool for endgame is so poorly optimized that my FPS cant even sit at 60 stable with everything on Low. Do we really need a 5090 RTX + a 1000 USD CPU to run this game at a steady 60 FPS? It baffles me that you put out a game in 2025 where your gaming performance is dependant on what build you use. I can sit at 60 FPS if I play a build with minimal spells/visual demanding spells/skills. But as soon as I play something like Deadeye or Infernalist my FPS tanks down to 15-30 in regular maps (not even in Breaches, in there its unplaybable) Who at GGG thought it was a good idea to copy/paste a broken engine from PoE1 into PoE2? :| PS: Some maps like Crypt/Seepage runs somewhat decent, where other maps like Savannah is an absolute lag fest.

It's less about current gen and more about optimization or lack of it.
Also settings. Though like you said, depending on the action everything can bog down. Delirium for instance makes my PC chug. When I stop spamming spells to catch up on mana, so does my computer. Like people used to make a big deal about Cyberpunk 2077, or maybe GTA games. The common thread is unoptimized games. Hopefully when POE2 leaves EA they will have shaders baked in, less load screens, and a cheaper texture option. |

" The problem is not the GPU, it's ur 6 year old CPU. Also like the guy above said, optimization is obviously not there yet since it's an EA game. If u get a proper AMD CPU for like 200-500€, depending on ur liking, u're probably fine. |

" My CPU isn't being utilized above 30-40% when gaming though? Another example of poor optimization/coding. I sit at 30-50% CPU usage in a non Delerium map. If I go into a Delerium map the fog + effects shoots it up to 80-100% :D :D :D Dernière édition par wBishop86#1644, le 8 févr. 2025 20:36:40

I'm pretty confident that I can bring down even a 5090 with just frostbolts. Cast speed + extra projectiles + wildshards support gem. If it's not enough, I can bring flamewall + 11 arsonists. That's gonna be the end for ANY computer, mwahaha

if you expecting to get flat 60fps here you are going to have a bad time. if you didn't realize yet this is what most games do these days. this is why they are pushing for frame gen. look how old cp2077 is and its still gets sub 60fps with 5 series GPUs.
poe is more about CPU anyway so just get a solid CPU and you should be ok most of the time at 60+fps |

" I9-9900K might be 5-6 years old. But it handles ALL other games with no issue, only PoE2 (and PoE1 for that matter). The PoE engine is poorly optimized. It should be possible to play this game at a steady 50-60 with EVERYTHING on LOW. |

Running fine on 5700x3d + rx6800.
But it really depends on build, one build is butter smooth, other cause fps drops. Recently started using Lossless Scaling to run smooth 165fps |

" oh ya? show me DF with 250 dorfs runnnin for longer than 20 years. howabout ONI mega base some factorio perhaps? just because you play main stream gaming magazines approved games doesn't mean there are no CPU hogs there. also like is said 'look how old cp2077 is and its still gets sub 60fps with 5 series GPUs.' this isn't even new, the jungle game way back was the same, far cry i think it was.

Despite the replies to the contrary, I feel ya. Your CPU is older, but still capable.
GGG started before DX12 and Vulkan, when a lot of the performance was handled in the driver, meaning Nvidia and AMD did a lot of the work for them. That's not the case anymore. As a hobbyist learning DX12 and Vulkan was literally the hardest thing I've ever done. The maths, the semaphores, the scheduling, it's been really rough. With Tencent backing (though I'm not a fan) I think they will pull out the performance optimizations then need once we get close to 1.0. That's maybe optimistic, but I'll stand behind it. Give them some time. Once EA ends, I'll light the pitch on your fork if they don't get it right. |
