Unplayable lag/sutter/fps drop (PoE 2)



Constantly getting big FPS drops with shaders spiking.

I have tried:

- Resetting shader cache in AMD

- Removing shadercache in %appdata%

- Vulkan and directx12

- Reinstalling the game

- Multiple different ingame settings


Nothing works and i have had the same issue every poe2 league so far.


My specs are:

6700 XT

Ryzen 5 5600

WD Black SN770 NVMe SSD

32gb RAM

What driver version are you using? Does the game prompt you to change it upon login? PoE 2 has a compatibility issue with some of AMD'a latest drivers; GGG recommends downgrading for now.

I always use the latest.

Downgrading to what driver?
