How is performance for you compared to the last league?

On notebooks it playable, but still bad, and has been gettin worse every league for a while now

Vulcan have stable performance, but at the cost of not loading textures. I often get nuked by invisible stuff, the league garden is particulary terrible, tons of invisible effects and monsters being rendered mid-fight even after venturing into the content many times

Directx lets me actually see whats happening, but at the cost of lag spikes if i cycle league contents, monsters preparing the skill and the screen freezing for a short time as the effect loads is infuriatingly common, at least game is good if i stick to the same general content

Playing on 2 notebooks, one is an intel i7 11th gen, 16gb ram and nvidia rtx3050 and STILL suffers these issues at times

Laptop hardware is a scam.

While my PC was in maintenance I used GeForce Now on my laptop and was somewhat surprised how well it ran PoE. Might wanna give that a go

Laptop hardware a scam? Hardly, more like GGG cant program shit to save their lives. The issue is likely the game not playing nice with specific pieces of hardware or specific driver combos

Poe is the ONLY game i play that have performance issues that cant be solved by tweaking the settings. In a library of over 200 games on steam and other clients both mainstream and indie i saw some games with bad performance but poe is a beast on its own level. The undisputed champ on not only having piss-poor performance for the graphic quality it offers, but it also actively moves backwards instead of improving over time

And its hardly just me, the legendary atrocious programing on this game is mentioned even on sites like tvtropes, they describe it: "how well the game will run after each big patch is about as random as the loot"

Here I was thinking I am sharing some advice to a fellow gamer who is struggling on his hardware of choice, and I am served anecdotes from an informal website known for humor.

You can have the same hardware part in a laptop and it'll be a slight variation of the desktop counterpart, because laptop hardware is built to use less energy. That comes at the cost of performance, which is evident to anyone who tried playing PoE on a laptop.

You can blame GGG for a game not optimized for your sub-par hardware or do something yourself, your choice

I listed my specs, its WAY higher than what one should need to play poe on a desktop, wich tells how the game optimization sucks for notebooks

Dont take criticism towards GGG like it was directed to you buddy... no need to make(unfounded) bashes towards my rig because i sidestepped your tip(you see... programs like geforcenow, dell performance and lenovo vantage dont really offers anything for someone who experimented with system and ingame settings already...)
