PoE 2 is cooking GPUs and CPUs Actually Dangerous to PC.

not only are they swinging the nerf bat all around, but theres serious performance issues. Check your temps and tell me its not turning into a straight up turkey roaster in maps.

3070 ti and top of the line i9 both with WATERCOOLING.

Every other game is fine benchmarks etc, this games running so much resources its actually dangerous, hope you guys got marshmellows.

Turn global illumination off, and just have shadows, and turn those down to recommended level (low). That has mostly resolved my performance issue.

No, its not. Thats not at all how it works. You demonstrably dont know what you're talking about.


Hardware has safety thresholds to protect itself. If anything is "fried" your hardware has failed, be it cooling or the units themselves. This is a you issue my man.


13900k/4070ti, max settings, 1440p, gpu might hit 65, CPU hits mid 60's. Tops.

please dont lol i know my pc is a potatoe but it hasnt had any issues with running the game aside from the over whelming server laag heres my specs

Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
AMD FX-6300 35 °C
Vishera 32nm Technology
RAM
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (11-11-11-29)
Motherboard
MSI 970 GAMING (MS-7693) (CPU 1) 31 °C
Graphics
SANYO LCD (1920x1080@59Hz)
4096MB ATI Radeon RX 570 Series (XFX Pine Group) 52 °C
Storage
223GB MSI S270 240GB (SATA (SSD)) 33 °C
223GB SanDisk SSD PLUS 240 GB (SATA (SSD)) 35 °C

and this is while the game is running idke why its still running cool af but yeaah

I love all the posts where people write: "I have this blablabla hardware and I don't have any problems".

They are very useful.


When people understand that PoE 2 needs to be improved maybe PoE 3 will be released.

I have a 5600X cooled by a Dark Rock Pro 4 and its blowing like crazy as soon as I start the game, its one of the only time I've seen it behave like that.

The game need some serious trimming and optimization, that's for sure.
It's not the kind of game that should require high-end systems to run and they sure as hell shouldn't position themselves as such. Anybody who used to play D2 or something on single-core 133MHz should be constantly wondering how did we end up here, where multi-core ~4GHz CPU in not enough anymore.

I can blow up 5 screens of enemies in a shower of particles all at once, and maintain better frames than standing in a field in Hogwarts Legacy.

If you want it to just look shit so you can play it on a 12 year old PC, just say so.

Enable Vsync.. problem solved. You do not need super high FPS for an ARPG

Not a funny joke, vsync has nothing to do with fixing low fps or performance issues.

And maybe you should read the thread. It is NOT ABOUT low FPS it is about OVERHEATING.

If you do not understand the difference maybe you should not write anything. VSYNC do have HUGE effect on controlling temperature of your GPU since you can avoid the GPU working on frames that do not need to be rendered.

if you have zero knowledge about the subject, stop spreading lies to confuse people.

Vsync is absolute trash and should never be turned on ever

As someone that worked for 11 years writing game engines.. bullshit. Vsync reduce the chance of split smear on rendering and avoid your GPU staying at 100% when it is not needed. I keep Vsync on absolutely all the time and only a Fool your let the game run at 4 times more FPS than its monitor can refresh.

nowadays you should use a framerate limiter to keep your fps within range of your gsync / freesync monitor. vsync is outdated tech that is no longer needed and shouldn't be used as it introduces input delay.

@thread
during every single loading screen all 16 threads of my 5800X3D hit 100%. playing this game is like one long session of prime95. I can fully understand how this can lead to instabilities when CPU coolers aren't up to the task or the system isn't 100% stable under high load.
hopefully intel 13k and 14k users here have their bios up2date, otherwise they are in risk of degradation when poe2 is constantly hammering their CPU.
