Huge FPS issues

Hi,


Played 0.1.0 on previous laptop (Rog Strix Scar) - no issues
Played 0.2.0 with new laptop 5080, Raider 18 HX - no issues

0.3.0 with Raider 18 HX is barely playable, i have watched and read numerous guides on how to increase FPS in POE 2. Sound, trade channels, NVIDIA control shaders, cache stuff, etc. That helped somewhat but game looks like crap now. Playing is NOT enjoyable and performance is very very bad. Plus, it has been performing perfectly previously.

Please advise if anything knows anything and some sort of fix is down the line.

Yeah i noticed this as well. Very choppy, specially kingsmarch and act4 seems pretty bad. I had no issues previous season either.

and even I am having issues with performance. I spoke with Nvidia on the phone and they did numerous calibrations for my 5090. I have no issuees with any other game and basically crush them all. When Nvidia analyzed a sceen capture of my resoruce monitor upon playing poe in expanded form they came to the conclusion that POE 2 is not properly coded well to work with its newest drivers. What they said was and i quote " What I am seeing is lack of uniformity in how this applicaiton is aplying the driver to its rendering techologies". I asked the chat agent to go into more details and he said this. He stated " it seems that whatever code this applicaiton is running is not strogn enough to work with the drivers we are putting out for our 5000 series and the only way for yoru 5090 to truely work with it is for you to downgrade settings". As apparently Nvidia 5000 series has an ai integration chip built into them that auto modulates all the dynamics of the chipset of the card and older games and their code cannot handle the drivers that are made for this.

I find this to be a really shameful display for GGG. They literally got a partnership with Starforge who i bought the pc from. They have enough money and they cannot say um Nvidia please design a driver for us. Its just poor optimization all it is. Just like I am on a 8k ultrawide monitor from Samsung. I get poor optimizaion for that as well from POE 2. Samsung told me the same type of line but they where just more up front about it. They said " Whoever made the game, needs to spend some money and update their game to work with our stuff, as our stuff is too advanced for them".

Yet POE1 works flawlessly with both of them.

So no real fixes but input from NVidia for you. Im sure in the future we can hope for a driver from Nvidia but GGG seems to cater to the lower ended cards. Personally if it dosent get better soon im just going to drop poe2 again and go get prepped for Chronos New Dawn in a few days. As I dont have time to waste on underpforming developers.
