Update: Noticed my GPU hit about 82c while playing poe. This in itself shouldn't really be a problem as the RTX 5090 is rated for 90c, but I figured maybe I can do something about it.

tl;dr: was able to reduce GPU temps by about 10c, to around 70c. Now the game no longer crashes.

I don't know if this is an actual fix, I've been playing for about an hour and no issues yet.

If I had to take a guess, I read somewhere that the error I've linked before was about the GPU going from idle to performance mode, which then triggers a bug in the driver that crashes it. Maybe my GPU somehow goes into some kind of temporary idle mode to cool down a bit then go back into performance mode, which then crashes the driver.

I don't know if this will help anyone, but figured I'd post it. Good luck exiles.


This doesn't work for me. My 4090 was hitting like 80+ too, the worst of it comes when I open the merc window or have tons of map effects/monsters on screen. It'd climb from 60-85 within seconds. I ended up undervolting the card so it doesn't go above 80 now, but the renderer still crashes no matter if it's dx12 or vulkan.

I ended up setting a way more aggressive fan curve too. Maybe you can try that too. If it doesn't work, then we'll just have to wait till GGG tells us anything about this problem unfortunately.

Hi guys, i found a possible solution... for now i am without crash for about 4 hours...

go to production_Config.ini file, localized in
"C:\Users\YOUR_USER\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile"

edit two lines in this file:

renderer_type=Vulkan
device_type=Vulkan


If you already changed in game the Dx12 or Dx11 to Vulkan, probably the "device_type" is already setted to vulkan... but "renderer_type" still setted to Dx12, so, change to vulkan in this file.

Besides that, i also changed the file to READ_ONLY, preventing POE to change without need.

i Hope it solve your problems. <3


UPDATE :
It worked ! ; I don't know what spaghetti code GGG has but in my case this change made me able to play the whole day (4-5 hours) without a single issue; thank you man you are my saviour :D

I will still bump the post from time to time , since there are a lot of people that are having this issue and it's probably related to the rendering driver crashing for some unknown reason ... so GGG should still fix this problem for everyone !!!
