60 FPS in idle, 10-15 FPS in maps

hi,
i have only 10-15 FPS in maps. Currently playing Flicker Strike, level 88.

idling in hideout i have around 60-70FPS when i am not moving.

My PC specs:
Mainboard: MSI MPG Z590 GAMING FORCE
CPU: intel i9 11900K
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3090
RAM: 32GB RAM DDR-4

i already set the Graphics to the lowest point.

tell me why does POE 1, a game which is 13 years old play with 10-15FPS with an RTX 3090 and i9 11900k, a graphic card from 2020 and CPU from 2021

It is not 13 years old.

Path of Exile looked like this back during its beta;



It's nothing like today's modern version of the game - and, respectfully, I do think you know that.

The rendering pipeline has been totally overhauled, you're using a different graphics API, the combat engine has been repeatedly updated... just because there was a version of the game 13 years ago with completely different art assets et al doesn't have relevance to its performance today.

The performance of old versions is only pertinent if you are using those old versions of the client.
