PoE Performance Issues still present. Need a word harsher than abysmal.

I'm kind of glad to see that I'm not the only one with this problem, but sad because it's still here since I started playing.

I'm running:
GPU: Sapphire HD 7950
CPU: Phenom II 1090T @3,9 GHz
RAM: Corsair 8GB 1600 MHz

I can confirm that I also get huge drops of FPS having allchat on, but not only allchat but with everything that shows text in this game, such as character stats, boss monsters that have lots of buffs/aura's and even GGG giving a notice of a starting league, which drops me down to about ~20 fps.

In a semi-crowded town I run at 60-80 FPS which is sad because I have a 120Hz monitor and while out in instances I run at about 40-60 FPS.

Vsync seems to lock FPS to 60 rather than your monitor refresh rate.

I hope that GGG will focus on performance rather than items/content for a bit because I and many others should be able to run this game at a stable 120-125 FPS constantly.

(It's especially painful when you're running a 120Hz monitor when you're playing at 20 - 80 FPS!)

EDIT: I'd also like to point out that my FPS drops when I alt-tabbed untill I zone out, like someone else mentioned.
I know alt-tabbing is generally not good for any game but it would be amazing if GGG could also somehow fix this.

I'd run the game in borderless windowed mode to prevent this but this crushes your performance.

You are the second person to confirm to me that AMD CPUs have an issue with text rendering, so much that performance is ultimately crippled. Thank you for making this known to us.

I find it hilarious how GGG has ever so ceremoniously declared their new phase as open, bragging about brand new features and balance changes, while a fairly large percentage of their playerbase suffers from severe performance issues.

I think I am having this issue as well. I run gtx 580 and have tried pretty much every possible solution offered and sill get things like this:

Spoiler

I think I have it slightly better than some of you, though it is still pretty irritating and after uninstalling and re-installing it actually appears to have gotten worse.

edit: Nevermind. My problem is NOT chat related. I was testing on my dual spork templar when I had all the fps issues. I hopped on my mara and ran docks and my fps was ALMOST flawlessly stable the entire time. Something is causing fps problems for me, but I think it is related to specifically to my templar.

Those are some miserable drops in performance.

Bet you feel bad about being a supporter now, don't you?
