As I had said in the part of my post you had quoted.


So you are saying that my 5060Ti is kinda like 5070?

No. It isn't.

You have responded to me several times now, and I am still not aware of whatever point you are trying to make.

Does it matter if it's for poe1 poe3 poe4 poe7?

The newest toy apparently has the same issues like their original game. It's not a coincidence when it comes to performance.

If players already struggle with performance in the older, less demanding game on weaker hardware, it is hardly surprising that the newer, more demanding one gives them the same headaches. So yes, the version does not really matter here. Either way, the problem is the hardware being unable to keep up, not a coincidence at all.

I'd just like to add to this thread...I've been playing the league pretty heavy the last 3 days after taking a long break. The performance for me is the best its been in probably years (without exaggeration)...and I've changed nothing about my setup.

Load times are a bit longer between areas than I remember but still under like 30 seconds at most, which is probably a huge overestimate since I never counted. But the actual play is smooth @ 4k. Only really dips during super heavy screen diarrhea but that was always true since my system is a BIT old.

But I just bought a monster new computer which is coming in 2 days so I'm excited to crank up the settings and see what happens.

Im aware but still trying to understan logic behind @Sarno argument from before.

Just trying to understand your point.

Also you wrote this:
"
A case in point: Nvidia's latest 50-series doesn't have a __50 Ti model. You might be inclined to argue the point - but the Titanium models typically fall closer in performance to the next card up than their non-Ti equivalent, so I'll compare the GTX 1050 Ti to the RTX 5060.

The point he was trying to make is that the year a GPU is manufactured does matter, despite someone uneducated claiming otherwise, and why the manufacturing year is important.

He compared the 5060 to the 1050 Ti to show how much better the newer cards are compared to the close to decade old outdated landfiller waste products, despite both the 1050 and 5060 being entry level cards, but with a massive difference in performance. The 5060 was brought up simply because there is no 5050 or 5050 Ti to compare the 1050 Ti against.

You just got caught up in the discussion the wrong way.

It also matters how long you have been using hardware for. Most hardware is supposed to work 5+ years without degradation in performance, but past youll notice a drop
