Why does messing around with your graphics setting (lowering stuff) reduce performance?
How bad? Like down to 12 FPS bad. POE 2 is a twin-stick shooter. POE 1 endgame and item crafting alleviated a lot of D2 issues. D2 farming is still GOATED and probably the most zen experience out there. Last bumped on Dec 22, 2024, 9:26:30 AM

There are many factors that affect performance. The graphics card, the driver for that card, DirectX and the implementation on the games side.
"Lowering" one setting may cause the driver to use a different algorithm that may not be as optimized. Or maybe the graphics card is not as optimized for the operation. It could also be the implementation. But from a customer perspective it is almost impossible to say. Just keep in mind that looking less good does not inherently correspond to being more performant. A general rule of thumb would be to keep your drivers up to date and the developer most likely will make sure the game performs under the most commonly used devices (at least as long as they fulfill the minimum requirements). |
