So... time to buy another video card, looks like.

Have a 1070, think SLI-ing it up with a second one would help?

Do you have fps issues currently with a 1070?

I get FPS issues with a 1050Ti, that's for sure.

Everyone who says ''RIP FPS'' or ''ggg should fix current graphical bugs before adding new bugs'' is out of their minds.

I'm well aware that not everyone has the same budget and that some people are playing on 10 year old systems but these graphical improvements are not forced on us... you can turn them on or off whenever you want.

I've been playing this game ever since it got released, took a few breaks here and there and spent several thousands of hours playing this game. I can't believe how determined GGG is when is comes to polishing and refining their game so the amount of fun we're experiencing as a player increases with every update. Everytime I read the patchnotes of an update or expansion I see that they've fixed tons of existing bugs and there are alot of bug fixing small patches inbetween leagues.

So please learn to complain less and appreciate what you get, because what you get is f#*+ing amazing!

Thanks for these improvements GGG ^^ <3

Will turning global illumination on reduce character light radius?? Or will there be an option to do so? I really love the look of the scourge arrow clip. No light except skills. I want it. Pls. I thrive in the darkness.

Waste of times.
Instead of adding new buggy graphic things ggg should fix old buggy graphic things.
So sad!

In my opinion it is not a waste of time at all. It looks amazing.

I alwats known poe had great lighting and was proud about it! But to make it this much better! I dropped my jaw :D

10/10 if you implement this before delve, otherwise its just a mean tease for what delve could have been. Dont shoot yourself in the foot pelase.

Nice

Nice :)
I believe Azurite Mine's atmosphere will be really cool now ^^ (I probably won't ever be able to enjoy it if I want to survive but even though... :D)
Thanks

Can we turn off this "Illumination and Point Light Shadows"?

really? did you read the post?


We've made GI an optional feature that player can toggle on and off based on their
preferences. This feature will be turned off by default on PC. We expect it to be enabled on Xbox One X.
