Any ETA on fixing these ridiculous AMD FPS drops? (e: Nvidia cards affected as well!)

Sill unable to play with anyone

Specs

i5 3570k
AMD 7950HD 3gb
8GB DDR3

I guess im stuck playing those old and ugly games like Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinity and BF3 on max details, maybe some day i can aspire to play PoE with more than 1 person in the game

^

I know why we can't play PoE smoothly in groups.
Just found the inoffical System requirements:


Titan - Cray XK7 , Opteron 6274 16C, Cray Gemini interconnect
560640 Opteron Cores @ 2,2Ghz
710144 GB Memory
NVIDIA K20x
Power consumption: 8209 kW

Guess we have to move to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee to play PoE on this beast.


Seriously now: FIX THE DAMN GAME !

my game still lags in groups at times but dramatically has been improved by:
enable vsync
disable antialiasing
disable AF

for resource links review my guide:

GGG needs to work with the video card manufacturers to make driver improvements.

^ THIS.

Haven't played for weeks, is this game playable in groups on a 7970 yet?

you should play fine 99% of the time if you update your pc, lower AA/AF settings, enable vsync. it gets bad when there are alot of spells+summons+monsters still but thats less than 1-3% of my game play.

in the 15+ beta tests i have been in, its hard to convince people that the vendor cannot fix their malware, spyware, driver issues, dying hard drive issues, corrupt installer services etc.

Rule out your pc and dumb it down for the game to compensate and understand its beta be patient.

You seriously think we're not already playing on the lowest settings?
