Something is terribly wrong with Shaders since 3.27

Try the latest nVidia drivers 581.80

I just tried it. The only thing that changed was the loading time, it got longer. =\

Steam -> Minimum req -> GTX 650 Ti -> idc

And once again, it was fine 1 week ago.

Lol, those are the old specs. Recommended: GTX 1050 Ti. Come on now.

So, are we going to completely ignore the minimum requirements? Okay. Then explain how exactly my ancient PC can run at 50-60 FPS, but drops to 9 FPS when I open my inventory.

I noticed one thing at least on steam. Shaders keep filling up space until you run out of it. Looks like they are redownloading all the time under different names. Today I cleared 35GB shader cache because I got notification that I ran out of space.

Been experiencing the same issues this league, performance is far worse than 3.26. Shaders slider on the F1 graph just spikes to full randomly, causing FPS to drop drastically, then reverts to normal. I started 3.27 with a 100% fresh install of Path of Exile, including deleting the old shader cache folder.


Standalone client, i7-11700k, 64gb DDR4, RTX 3080, etc.

I have similar issues on my gaming laptop with a rtx 3060.

Everything was fine till red maps. Now my shader graph is permanently on top of the graph.
Game drops to 1 fps at times, completely unplayable.
I allready updated my graphic drivers, cleared my cache, let nvidia set my game settings on lowest graphics.
Nothing helps.

Very sad. I rushed to endgame and now it is unplayable 😞

I only just finished the campaign on my character, didn't get to play this weekend, experienced the issues all throughout the campaign & into my first few maps. If performance like this continues, I'll easily switch to another game. Performance has just been decreasing league after league.

I have same old potato pc but in 3.26 merc league i could play without problems. I found something about Nvidia ShadderCatch file size (especialy on old ssd discs) that default 10 gb is to small for new PoE shadders thats why its loading it again and again, mean slow loading in game and bad perfomence especialy with new breach. There is solution to migrate those file to new bigger partition or to new disk (and set in Nvidia settings, this space without limits or 100gb), but I would like to ask if someone did it befor and still have this horrible game performance with 3.27? PS. Its not my native langueage sry for mistakes and I did new thread with same post.
