Low GPU Utilization & High CPU Latency in POE2 – Poor Performance

Hello,

I've been experiencing this issue since the start of POE2. I initially ignored it, thinking the game would be optimized over time, but the performance has remained the same.

I've tried a wide range of settings, reinstalled the game, and made sure all my drivers are up to date. Despite this, POE2 only utilizes around 30–40% of my GPU at most, and CPU latency remains high. The performance drop is especially noticeable during Delirium and Ritual encounters.

For comparison, every other game I run on this machine fully utilizes my GPU (98–100%), but POE2 just doesn’t. I suspect this is the main reason I’m getting subpar performance in-game.
