For those with performance issues. Try this! It worked for me

I've been having loads of performance problems. I posted my solution on reddit and it seems to have helped out a few people who did this.

If you are having performance issues. I urge you to at least try this out, really simple.

I use an ATI card, so I dont know if this works just for ATI cards or not.

click start on windows desktop and type in 'dxdiag' on the search. Open that up. Make sure it says that your drivers are up to date under display.

Now the most important thing: click 'run 64 bit dxdiag' on the bottom.

I don't know why or how, but this has vastly improved the performance of my game and for others as well. Try it out and see if it helps you or not!

Also del system 32

Gibe fix for Nvidia cards

ya, why don't you GTFO. I'm trying to help people.

and dont delete system 32 if anybody thought about taking his advice.

This is the second time I've seen this post. It bewilders me how dxdiag, a simple information query, helps with graphical performance........

I have absolutely no idea why it does help. But it does. For me at least and there was others as well.

Hmm, that's weird. As from my understanding dxdiag is a query that pulls versioning/driver information - but makes no changes/fixes/updates/etc to such.

I bet you just wanted to tell people you go on reddit.

run 64 bit dxdiag does something good. If I don't click that before I start up POE, then it runs horrible. If I do click it, it runs good. Don't know why, but that is what's happening here.

this doesnt make any sense, dxdiag merely detects directx functionality and displays the scan results on what compatible directx hardware you have.

it performs no corrective functions whatsoever.
