Nvidia Profile Misconfiguration Affecting Path of Exile 2 Performance

Hi everyone,

I recently discovered an issue that could be causing performance problems for Path of Exile 2 on systems with Nvidia GPUs. It turns out that Nvidia's default profile mistakenly associates Path of Exile 2 with the profile for Path of Exile 1. This can result in suboptimal performance due to incorrect driver optimizations being applied.

To resolve this, you can manually adjust the Nvidia settings and create a proper profile for Path of Exile 2. This small tweak made a noticeable difference for me in terms of smoother gameplay and better FPS stability.

I originally learned about this issue from a tech video, and it seems to be a common problem. However, I'm not sure if it's okay to share the direct link here, so I'll refrain for now. If you're interested, a quick search should help you find the same information. (Fix Path of Exile 2 performance issues on NVIDIA systems by Daragon on youtube, kudos to him and the r posts )

I hope this helps anyone struggling with performance issues! Let’s hope Nvidia addresses this with an official update soon.

Thanks

you should never ever use nvidias optimise settings for any game its GARBAGE

You don't really need that bloatware anyway.
