Something is terribly wrong with Shaders since 3.27

Driver support has ended for a range of video cards. That's your final cue to upgrade.

Nvidia GeForce app always has a new driver every month or so even on my gtx 1050ti, so I have no clue what you're talking about. Everyone gets the same video drivers lol, also this whole "support has ended for X,Y,Z OS/hardware" excuse can't be used to cover up bad optimization. All other games run just fine, mysteriously this 1 patch bricked PoE for me.

And yes, updating to the one from nov 4th did improve load times a little bit, but shaders are still clearly broken. They take way too long, when before this patch shaders would take literally a few seconds to load for a map.

Something is wrong with shaders. I don't even get why games use this stuff, just load everything in the loading screen like it used to be? This real-time loading is just super bricked.



Also I am nooot buying second-hand PC parts or entire PCs even if I could lmao, that's just a recipe for disaster. It has to be brand-new.

You are not remotely qualified to talk about optimization.

You don't even understand what drivers are or how they work. Drivers are not "for everyone", there's specific product lines that continue to receive driver support from Nvidia in order for the cards to function in modern games.

Literally just googling this would have resulted in the AI summary telling you this:

"

NVIDIA's last major Game Ready Driver for the GeForce 10-series (Pascal) was in October 2025, with the R580 branch, after which support shifted to quarterly, security-only updates until October 2028, meaning no new game optimizations or bug fixes for titles after that date.

Guess what series the GTX 1050/Ti is part of.

I'm not gonna respond to the rest because I honestly can't be fucked. I'm out. Cheers.

Vulkan still broken on intel, heard same issue on poe2 too. also think got even worse stability with last patch .0f
