Massive lags and FPS drops. POE 2

Win11 lastest update.
Graphics drivers at the latest revision (25.9.1)

CPU: 5800x3d 3.4 GHz - 4.5 GHz 8core multi threaded cpu (16)
RAM : 64gb 3600mhz DDR4 Ram / Quad channel
Graphic card : Sapphire RX7900 XT (20 gb vRam)

Game resolution : 1440p
Game Graphique parameters : Recommended (Except bloom)


In 0.2 Game rendering FPS was capped at 120 fps in steady mode.

In 0.3 Game rendering FPS is capped at 80 fps and fall down to 45 fps depending of map and mob density. Most of the time it is barely 60 fps to slide show in fact.

Well, there is also something wrong with the game engine at the momemt.

Even shaders compilation have a strange behaviour, always triggered on loading maps,

If all of us are encountering this massive performance drop on rigs that are hardware buffed, I do not prefer to imagine what the situation is for those using a game console.


Hey GGG, could you test the actual 0.3.0 version with a GPU Tool Profiler ?

Clearly there is an elephant in the room

At the moment I do the following when the game starts lagging (after all the guides and FAQ):
I exit the game, delete the shaders folder.

It is impossible to play on directx, slide show even in the shelter.
The computer turns off on the vulcan, always in the battle with the bosses - abyss, simulacrum, ritual, breach.
It's so great when you have 1 portal and 15 fps, right GGG?

Performance during abyss encounters looks bad for me as well.

Game runs rather smoothly but GPU hotspot goes up to 94 degrees celsius, which is not good.

Changing anything in the in-game graphics options tab doesn't seem to help much.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 5.1 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB
RAM 32GB DDR5

Didn't notice any problems at the start of the league. But now I'm worried that maybe my GPU was overheating this whole time.

9800X3D
4080 Super
64GB RAM
Win 11

Same problems here.

Abyss and Delirium being the worse for me.

Fun fact, FPS is tanking and CPU/GPU latency is going trough the roof while their utilization caps around 40-50%/50-60% when monitored with MSI Afterburner and RTSS

That indicates the engine is at problem here since it cannot provide data to be treated by hardware.

Increase shader cache in nvidia or AMD drivers to 100gb or unlimited and if running steam, disable steam precache in settings/downloading. That solved most of my problems and barely drop Under 100 fps.

7800X3D
7900XTX

Same problems with huge FPS swings into as low as 30's in some maps + Abyss/Deli/Ritual. I don't know what is going on with ground effects in this game but damn, I would just skip any map that has burning ground if I had a less modern PC.
