GGG i beg you PLEASE FIX THE CPU AND GRAPHICS LOAD

My CPU and graphics load is through the roof. Especially with the CPU ... I feel like my computer is going through the roof and I'm breaking my PC. The CPU load is way too high. The same goes for the graphics. When there are a lot of effects, everything jerks and stutters. That's not healthy

Soon, someone with a 3k USD setup using the latest and most expensive CPU in the market will come here and tell you it's on your end and that the game performance is great because they can run it, and then proceed to tell you it is on your end.

Example: Start D4 and POE 2 at the same time and see what happens. Even if you have a 13,000 PC. The computer will break. D4 eats your graphics card and POE 2 eats your CPU.

I have tried everything.... but the processor is still boiling

people with expensive rigs are also experiencing problems. its on ggg's end.

I'm running this game on 4k res with a gtx1080ti and a ryzen 7 1800x.

3 TV's too.

I have no issues.

Also i found this here: Fix Path of Exile 2 performance issues on NVIDIA systems

WORKS VERY GOOD but this is only for graphic. GGG must look into CPU settings

I'm on a 2060 super and i5 and the performance is pretty good for me unless there's 2-3+ minion army's.

game runs like dog poopy on both of my machines. One is a lower end machine amd 5500 and a 3060ti the other is a 5800x3D and a 7900xt

When doing any end game the 5800x3D machine sometimes drops to low 40 FPS depending on the map.

I know that in Diablo 4 the 5800x3D machine maintains 1440p at 170 refresh rate and FPS perfectly. where as poe 2 I am barely able to hold 100 fps consistently.

Exact same situation, game ran PERFECT from launch up until recently it runs like ass

4070 i7 32gb ram

Last month or so game has basically become unplayable because of this.
Constant Shader and Drive Spikes, FPS Drops and Rubber Banding

Some maps make it considerable worse, such as:

Savannah
Vaal City
Steaming Springs
Sun Temple
Penitentiary
Gothic City
Bluff Tower
Sunken Spire Tower
Mesa Tower

These are just a FEW of the maps that ping my CPU to max regardless of settings and result in me getting like 70fps.

Proof of this,I run maps like Crypt, Sulphuric Caverns, Vaal Factory on Tier 16 maps juiced with packs and not drop a single frame, it holds a constant 140, even during action. But the second you load into any of these maps performance TANKS. They need to optimize the game or add network predicitive mode like POE1 to counter the jank.

Also ever since I noticed these issues with POE2, I took my PC in to my local build shop and got it fully tested, everything checked out.

Also I play other games which are just as CPU bound if not even more, like Tarkov and Stalker 2, and I get 140+ fps on both those games.

It honestly feels like there is a disconnect between DX12, Nvidia Or the Unreal Engine on TOP of GGG's side.
It feels like one of them is scuffed AF and affecting the whole game.

So they need to fix POE2

Drops to 70 or even 40 fps in new game on current gen of cards and cpus is not dog**** performance really. Ofc it can be optimized further probably, but really if that's your worst case scenario in endgame on early access, then I'd say it's more a compliment to the game.
