Optimization for low end pc

Hey devs,
I’ve been really enjoying Path of Exile 2 so far, but I wanted to ask if more optimization support for low-end PCs is planned.

A lot of players like me don’t have high-end gaming rigs, and even on the lowest settings the game can struggle with FPS drops, stuttering during combat, long loading times, and overheating issues. The gameplay is amazing, but performance problems make it difficult to fully enjoy the experience.

Many players in regions where expensive hardware isn’t common would really appreciate this. We love the game and want to keep playing it smoothly, even with modest PCs.

Thanks for all the hard work on the game, and I hope optimization improvements are being considered for future patches.

We've been waiting for this in POE 1 for 13 years. It's not going to happen.

POE is a CPU killer, you need a high end PC to run this game smoothly, there are too many calculations.

A CPU upgrade will dwarf a GPU upgrade. I upgraded from a 1060 to a 4060 and the difference was negligible, but from a Ryzen 7 3600 to a Ryzen 5 5800 and I gained over 80 fps
