Yup, Im still using HDD in 2023 and Im more than fine.

That's interesting because for some games (don't know about PoE) an SSD doesn't provide a significant boost to loading times. Maybe because loading times are CPU-limited as in the CPU needs to do a lot of work decompressing (think unzip) data before copying it into RAM.

Also, are you by chance using a hybrid drive? These have a 10-20 GB SSD cache and can provide similar performance to an SSD.

I have SSD for my Windows etc and HDD for all my games. Sure, maybe my loading screen are few seconds longer than they would be on SSD, but I dont "feel" any problems with PoE. Takes me few seconds max to load maps, load players hideouts etc.

For around $230 you can safely play PoE so i dont know where they took this "u need $800 CPU" bs from xD

Actually true. Eyes can't even see more than 5fps. People these days lol

heard russians with 3rd party software optimize the game better

Oh u didn’t get the memo? 40 series gpu recommended. Good luck exile!

PoE's bottleneck is CPU not GPU.

You basically can play it on any video card, but you HAVE TO have $800 CPU to play it comfortably.

I don't have an $800 CPU (Ryzen™ 5 7600 non-X/Eco mode in a SFF build, baby!), and I'm also not running a super-expensive GPU (RX6700XT). PoE runs just fine. I just prioritized RAM: 32GB for the CPU, 12GB for the GPU.

Your bigger problem might be the type of CPU you have; if you're running 13th or 14th gen Intel, then your CPU might be degrading. Good coverage of the issue from Gamer's Nexus:

If you haven't updated your BIOS lately, you may want to check if your motherboard manufacturer has a BIOS update available. If you bought a pre-built, you might want to check if your warranty has been extended.

I am happy for you that game runs fine for you, could you show us some footage from T5 white maps?

I like how he pointed on the RAM without specifying its performance.

That's an oddly specific request. What's special about T5 White? And what makes you think I have any of those left? My autorunners have already cleaned up all my leftover white maps, and since I'm playing SSF, I'm probably not going to have any more anytime soon. Also, I'm not streaming the game; why would I be recording my gameplay? Just for your benefit?

No, I'm not going post any video. I play the game to have fun, not to impress anyone. If you don't want to take my word for it that the game runs fine on my system, then don't. I promise that my feelings will remain unhurt.

It's not anything special, I don't think, just a decent kit for an AM5 system.

He was sarcastic/snarky. He wanted to say that no1 is talking about low tier/non juiced content. They are talking about the highest density with delirium and beyond and whatnot enabled.

And it's true, the game runs perfectly fine 90% of the time, but there are certain situations that can tank performance in a big way. In my case it's Delirium + Harbingers for example. Usually I'm running around 80 fps @4k, but in that circumstance the perfomance drops to below 30 fps in most cases.

It's just not optimized very well and from what I've seen the game still doesn't utilitze all CPU cores. It's mostly 2 cores doing the work and the rest is kinda idling/low workload all the time.
