Massive FPS Drops in POE2

I'm having the same issue.
Running with my brother who is playing witch (fireball minion) and I am playing ranger deadeye lightening build.
FPS averages between 120-200 normally, but when fireballs are cast/I cast lots of lightening spells my fps can tank down to 40.
I am running a 4090 (laptop so 4080 equivalent) with 32gb ram.
My brother is running a 4070ti with 64gb ram and finds his FPS drop to 70 during these times.

Hoping this gets solved - never had this type of drop with crowded zones and loads of spells on D4.
Makes the game into a slideshow at times.
Dropping all graphical settings to low and using DLSS doesn't seem to solve the issue either. It maybe nets me another 10-20 fps, but I still get the massive drops from 200>50 or 60 fps during intense spells of fighting.

Game is early access so hope GGG will optimise the game and a few more NVIDIA patches will help smooth things out.

Man, I’m so upset that it’s frustrating to even write this.
I play as an Infernalist with Bomber Minions, but it’s become impossible to play.
The FPS drop is infinite—no matter what settings I tweak, I’ve already changed the shaders, and this crap still drops to unplayable levels.(30~60 FPS with this config:

- i7 12700K
- 16GB RAM
- NVMe SSD
- Zotac 4070Ti Amp Extreme Airo
- Stable internet connection (usually around 12ms~16ms ping)

If anyone has some kind of magic fix for this, I’d really appreciate it. A lot of people are getting frustrated because of these issues.
And that’s not even mentioning playing in groups, which I enjoy but can’t do because the stuttering doesn’t stop.

Say what you want, but in this regard, D4 makes PoE2 look bad. Not even at its launch was it as bad as PoE2 is right now.

Same problem.
Playing on i7-10700K and RTX3080.
GGG has to fix this. It's unplayable at some point. Especially Breach or Ritual.

same here man. it's really bad, we need particle effect options and sliders. GGG also needs to take a look at heavily optimizing the game as a high priority over anything else.

In Act 1 during the fight with Lachlann my fPS dropped to single digits. I died a few time because the frame rate made the game unplayable.

I will note I am on an ultrawide monitor playing in windowed mode.

Ryzen 7 5800X
Radeon RX 6700XT
32GB of Ram

Yep Same problem. been having super high CPU usage and stutters.
No issues in other games 90 FPS+
Seems POE 2 is NOT that optimized.

Getting 25-55 FPS Act 3 and Act 2 parts and in end game gets a bit worse at times, especially in towns. Or attacking mobs.
I pray they look into the performance issues. I have zero issues in other games
Any settings I change in Graphic options does nothing at all .

1080p 25-50 FPS
i9 9900k
2070 Super
64GB DDR 3200
970 pro NVME M.2
Windows 10

same problem here, i can run cyberpunk in 4k but poe at 1080p on lowest settings im getting 20 fps in act 2 town and around 57 highest not in town

this is ridiculous, should have spent my money elsewhere

I gave up on PoE2. May be will check it in several years from now or later.

FPS drops were the last hit. Fully new PC. Spent 4 days re-checking everything possible of why I have FPS drops with 4070Ti to 40 fps, while 1st week it was flawless. Graphic settings don't change FPS even by 1. DLSS seem not to work at all as well. Same with dynamic resolution and any other visual setting, 0 impact for FPS, though 1st week they changed FPS a lot. Processor goes like crazy when map is loading.

Did all checks with software for GPU, CPU, memory, everything is fine. Other games also run fine, don't drop FPS both in CPU and GPU heavy games.

Pretty sure performance got worse after last patch or two, if that helps investigate the case. But i'm out for a long time, this is a below mediocre experience, with and without performance issues for now.

Yuuup same here I have given up on playing breach which is a shame as I love it I can run every game including cyberpunk with raytracing on at max settings but a top down arpg struggles sad as I love this game I want to keep running red maps but is just so bad plz GGG fix this <3
My specs
Ryzen 9 5900x

Same here, 32GB, nvme m2, rx6600, i5
