Graphics Card Recommendation

If you only play PoE, then AMD 6000XT series will be great. I personally think nvidia's better overall, though this title doesn't use ray-tracing, and AMD cards have more VRAM which you will end up using. AMD cards can be cheaper too, depending on where you're based.

A reasonable way to think about it is to think 3060 = 6700XT, 3070 = 6800XT, 3080 = 6900XT, etc.

3060ti or 6700XT would be my bet for a budget card.

In your final, bold font sentence, you say you want something cheap that will also run PoE at high settings. Are you looking at playing at 1440p? I suggest getting a 6900XT if that's the case. You say you're only playing PoE and that will last you a while if you eventually decide to move on.

My last card was a 3070 and it ran PoE at 1440p quite well. Thought I'd just mention that. I did have a 5600X with 32GB 3600 ram and a decent SSD though. The people mentioning a Cheap but somehow magically powerful GPU will not guarantee solid PoE performance are correct.

So, i have been playing poe for the past 6-7 years i think.. and i pretty much just play poe
i had a gtx 1050Ti, and the game has been running really good on it for the past 5 years or so..

Now it died last night, i keep getting Green or white screen of death as soon as i launch poe and i'm looking for replacement

So, any budget recommendations? Like as long as the card plays pathofexile in good settings, i dont care about any other games

A BUDGET card but not something that will struggle under high settings of poe..!

first thing first whats your CPU, motherboard and power supply?. no point in getting a good video card if your rig can't keep up with it or your power supply can't feed it.

second if the problem is only with POE odds are you have a driver issue or poe latest patch broke something, try updating both GPU and motherboard drivers.

Thankyou all so much for your kind suggestions..

I am running

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6402P CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz
Installed RAM 24.0 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

I have 2 SSD installed.. i have system on one SSD and the games installed on the other SSD, dont know if that will affect the POE performance or not..

Was thinking of getting an NVME thingy, but i'll have to switch the motherboard as well for that.. and that would be on the expensive side then

I can try transfer the POE to my main C drive i guess..

Also,.. about the graphics card update, so i shared with my irl friend who is a bit tech savvy you can say, and he suggested me to just go ahead and try get the card repaired first,

so i went ahead and gave the card to repair guy, and after 2 days i'm back on the same 1050ti working flawlessly! and it only cost be about 10 dollars total

But if it stops working, i'll consider all the suggestions you guys gave..

thankyou guys once again :)

If on a budget: RTX 2060S
If just a tad bit higher, 3060 or 4060 :D

Please leave the contact details of the guy who fixed your card for 10$.

Sure, the guy name is Owais, he charged about 2500 Rupees which is equal to 9$

Address, Opposite Shop # G-151, Naz Plaza, M. A Jinnah Road, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan

Once you reach Naz plaza, you can ask anybody where is Owais Repair shop and anyone will tell you..!

Also, i roughly included 1$ cost of my petrol of going there..!

He did some heating and stuff, he said cards memory is the problem, he had few tools.. not really sure what he did but the card is working absolutely fine now!!

and i tried cleaning, vacuuming and brushing dust off myself before i went to him..

Stuff like 1050 or 1060 still runs it like butter, recent issues have been due to cpu screw ups, I have a 1060 on my older machine and it literally shows GPU load never goes above 10-20% even during the most juiced up stuff

i guess used GTX1080 is the budget shit right now

I dont know what rtx 3090 goes for now but that is a great card if you can find it. I got mine very cheap as its last gen.

PoE uses at literal maximum 3gb of vram. The bottleneck is entirely on how bad your CPU is (despite them trying to tell you otherwise with the recent "patch").
