Terrible FPS, stuttering, very long loading times

Guys, maybe someone has similar problem or and idea to fix this...

My spec:

HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec0010nw

AMD Ryzen 7 3750H with Radeon Vega Mobile GFX

NVidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design

32 gb RAM

M2 drive, stable and fast internet connection


I have tried multiple solutions from here, from reddit, nothing really helps to remove stuttering and enormous loading times. I have pretty much everything set on low and I am struggling with getting stable 30 FPS...

Now I know that my spec is not top-end but for fcks sake anything can be done here?

The issue here seems to be CPU being a chokepoint, i have high, approx. 30 frame constantly running on red when checking with F1, it's also heating really hard, comparing to other games.

What laptop spec will be suffient enought for POE2? Changing this would help obviously but I havent got this issues before the infamous 0.2 patch.

Any help guys?

Thanks!

My Acer Nitro is the GTX1660Ti one, from many years back. I play at upscaled with lowest possible settings. Still lags and stutters. Similar to yours.

Few months back, I reapply thermal grease/paste with Cooler Master CryoFuze. But I mistakenly thought it can replace the thermal pads for the GPU VRAMs. lolz.

Last night, I acquired Gelid-Extreme thermal pads, cleaned up and reapply CryoFuze on my Nitro's CPU and GPU, and cut to size the new pads to cover all the 6 GPU's VRAMs. The heatsink plate is in full contact with the VRAMs.

The stutters due to GPU spikes are gone now. If there's any micro-lag stutters, it's due to network and CPU. The blue line on the graph is stable now. The red (CPU) and green (Network) have spike-intervals...

But at least, my gameplay is not so frustrating now.

CPU spikes could come from Windows Indexer, or Google Drive, or some other background apps which I haven't test it out yet.
