FPS Struggle with RTX3080

I dont think I should have FPS slow downs, even with a summoner build.

Im playing in 1440p resolution. Are there settings I could be messing up?

For example, I get 40FPS standing in Act 3 town. and 99% GPU usage. With all settings to the lowest.

I always lower my graphics settings quite a bit in POE games. they are never well optimized.
yea........ thats true.

but this seems like it should be smoother

It performs up to expectations in other games

thank you for your reply

40? there is something off, i get 30-35 with gtx970. you sure gpu is maxed when this happens?
Check the in game graphs if there is high CPU latency.

There is a CPU bug( or maybe lack of optimization on certain processors).

POE2 is not using CPU at max level on certain processors which leads to frame drops.

Go to windows power plan and use the ultimate performance one. It needs to be switched on after the game is turned on( that's it in my case at least).

it is using all of it, its just how it uses it and the fact it doesn't limit it. i configured some settings like affinity and c-states (via ultimate performance plan that you mentioned) which helped a ton even on very old CPU, but once i upgraded my cpu to handle all of it with some headroom i get 0 fps drops on the same old GPU

Steps:
1. Reset all in-game settings
2. Go to %APPDATA% open the POE2 folder delete the Vulkan or D12 shader cache folder.
3. Reset shaders cache in your graphics card
4. Update windows & graphics card to the latest
5. Restart

Don't mess with the graphics settings at all.

In my case, it comes with the graphics settings that it comes with (Most on high or ultra) and if I attempt to improve the performance by lowering settings my FPS will drop. Why? skill issues (on the devs).

---

Side note, increase your shader cache limit to unlimited if you are in nvidia. AMD doesn't have the option.

---

Disabling engine multi threading might tank your performance or might drastically improve it. Depends on your CPU give it a try.

don't forget to remove the cash size limit. also if multi threading is tanking your performance right away (as in it doesn't change over time as this happens in poe, but you feel it immediately) then you need to limit cores used by poe.exe via affinity

I did all this and now I get around 45 FPS with GPU 99% utilization




Something odd is still occurring, image above shows in game statistics.

Is my 8700k possibly causing a bottleneck on the 3080gpu?

Odd part of this is I can max out GTA5 no problem, but PoE Struggles.

Funny part is if i take all the PoE2 settings from defaults back to the lowest settings i only gain 3-4 FPS.

I am so confused and frustrated :(
