Performance Improvements in 2.3.3

I have contacted your support team multiple times about these issues and clearly pointed out that the hardware is not actually being fully utilised. I cannot believe you made me go through so much troubleshooting while you knew about the CPU utilisation.

Who does that? Contact support about not using all cores of your CPU? Really? Well, apparently you, lol.

And perhaps the support people were not so well versed in the fact that PoE was single threaded?

Did you not see the recent 2.3.0 update in June about the audio engine being replaced and now sound rendering could use a different thread? How could you be surprised by this announcement unless you didn't follow news a month ago?

This is just awesome, thanks so much.

If this works I will give them more money. I have been holding out until they finally fixed performance.

Why there is not an option in options menu to dissable some of the atmotsferic effects and particles, I think is easy to do that for developers and is improvement that the game need since the creation of the game!!!!)...there are programs right now to that, but they are not official :(

Looking forward for testing this with my setup. I always wondered why this game utilized only 1 core in first place.

After 2.3.0 fps drops and random stuttering, especially in party play, have been such annoyance so I preferred to solo most of my map grinds in prophecy even when guildies were online.

My setup could perform better. ;)

ASRock Z710 Extreme 7+ Skylake
i5-6600K @ 4.5 Ghz (Overclocked) Skylake with Kraken X31 closed liquid cooling system.
16 GB Kingston Savage DDR4 @ 3000Mhz
Asus Strix 970 GTX Direct CU II
BenQ 27 inch 144hz monitor
128 GB SSD for OS (Win10), 250 GB SSD for games.

Any plans beyond DX11 port in other words DX12?

New CPU's and Motherboards are coming out later this year, I'd wait before taking the plunge for new hardware. The new motherboards will offer greater compatibility for simultaneous multiple high performance SSD's without the performance of them decreasing (Current motherboards tend to struggle with 2 or more SSD's and a high end video card).

A Z170 chipset, LGA 1151 socket board is what I was looking at for Intel Skylake CPUs. Are you saying that another Intel Z chipset is to be released by the end of the year? I was planning on purchasing the components to build a new system in December. I'll get the case in October so I have some time to mod it first. Looking towards Micro ATX form factor.

Here's my Newegg wishlist so far: https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=22202854. Feel free to PM any advice. I build computers both professionally and personally, but a second set of eyes is always welcome. :-)

I'm reasonably confident the revision of the Z170 chipset (Z270) will be out by the end of 2016. The new CPU's might be pushed in to early 2017 though. The Z270 will support Skylake CPU's as well as the newer Kaby Lake.

so hype lets go !

nvm

i know vulken api uses multi CPU and GPU a lot of in permanent game engine
more stable game ??in poe this is what we need for HC players
BUT NICE WORK GUYS IN GGG LOVE THE GAME

i'd hate to throw a spanner in the works but maybe this needs to be thoroughly tested
before roll out? I just updated to new patch it works great.. until the client crashed
and 10% xp gone on my lvl 90 toon, in a daily low quest.. sucks to the max
so any support out there can trace back the logs and give me back this 10%? it took days
to level this just fyi.
