What is going on with CPU times?

I'd been using a 5600X for quite some time and it was a nifty wee chip.

POE 2 was obliterating it. Leading to my entire system suffering. The game would bounce from as little as 3ms to well over 400ms and it was freeze and stutter something awful due to it. At the start of every new area/every map, it was atrocious. Seeing my CPU getting cooked because I was simply playing the game was freaking me out, so I upgraded to a 5700X3D.

Installed that chip today and the game ran beautifully, for about 3 hours. So I restarted my pc and assumed it would give me the same time frame.

First map back on, the crazy ms jumps started. Only this time, it leapt to over 1300ms and my entire rig sounded like it was being butchered. Brand new, fresh out the box CPU and I was having the same, if not worse, issue that a fundamentally less powerful CPU had.

Please,I'm begging, someone tell me if they've had this problem and found a way to fix it.

I can't do maps or other characters or, god forbid, interact with strongboxes without my processor eating a plateful of turds.

Humm that's a strange problem, is your motherboard fully updated? Anyway I have a 5800x and have 0 issues with it in PoE2 which is not a multicore games so my extra cores/threads over your 5600x are not supposed to matter.

Assuming were arent talking about network ping here (PoE2 has been lagging lately, if that's your case don't play on a EU server), so IF it's not the network and it's 100% your computer, you might have something that's causing a bottleneck somewhere but I don't know where so make sure your OS is running fine by itself...look at process and memory usage, you might have something that's causing delays.

In this game, as in so many others, you’ll find so-called PC hardware experts who are quick to hand out advice-yet they don’t even realize how poorly the game performs on their own machines. They’re so enamored with their favorite game that they’re oblivious to issues like lag, long load times, and random freezes. It’s a classic case of being blinded by love.

The real problem arises for those who actually notice, say, that Path of Exile 2 is a total mess from a programming perspective and seek help in the forums. Right away, one of these self-proclaimed hardware gurus jumps in with the standard suggestions: update your drivers, tweak your BIOS, optimize Windows, or even go as far as to recommend a complete Windows reinstall-all for a game that’s fundamentally flawed. It’s always the same crowd offering these tips.

As I mentioned, these die-hard fans are so caught up in their devotion that they can’t see how poorly the game really runs for them. They keep sharing their “ultimate optimization” tricks, but sadly, none of it makes a difference when the real issue is the game’s own lack of optimization.

I’ve been seeing these so-called gurus since the days of Everquest, around 1998. They always claim everything works flawlessly for them, and for decades now, they’ve been recycling the same unhelpful advice that never actually solves anyone’s problems.

This game isn't optimized yet, but if you are going to upgrade, then upgrade. 7800X3D minimum, and 9800X3D is what I would go for.

You will be fine with your CPU once the game hits the optimization faze, but don't look for that to happen any time soon.

And, as someone else already noted, it is probably just NETWORK Lag.

You can hit F1 and you will see where the lag is happening.

One of the things I have done depending on the patch that has worked well for my old i7 4770k is to change the the CPU Affinity and uncheck CPU 0 and change the client priority to High.

Past that it almosts sounds like you have a heat problem especially if you have run two different CPUs.

Install something like HWMonitor (free) and make sure your drives, ram, CPU. mobo, gpu are not redlining.

Thanks, lads.

Just to quickly gloss over, I have made sure I was on the most recent BIOS for my board.

Due to limited power/funds atm, anything above the 5700X3D wouldn't be possible, unfortunately.

I've had serious network issues on PS5, game repeatedly pauses itself until eventually disconnecting me but I just chalk that up to PSN being dogshit because my network connectivity on PC is pretty great (obviouspy when the servers are playing ball).

And the F1 graph is up at all times, even if it's all going swimmingly, purely because I like to keep tabs on things while I play. And it's legitimately only the CPU bar that bounces and sticks like a bastard.

It very well could be down to temps, the hot thick air is pretty outrageous here so that may very well just be it.

And I've been utilising process lasso to fuck around with affinities and stuff, had to do all that shite back when I played Tarkov so thought I'd give it a go here.

But yeah, if it really is a case of the game not yet having been fully optimised then I might as well deal with what I've got in small doses. I imagined optimisation at this stage would be poor but I suppose I wasn't expecting it to be as bad as it is.
