PROBLEM WITH PERFORMANCE ON POE 2

Same problem here. I get a steady 39-44 FPS but it's very choppy.

Intel i7 10700k
EVGA 3080 10GB TUF
32 DDR ram
SSD drives
700/700 Mbs (so no latency issue)

Very choppy tried upgrading from Win 10 to Win 11, did nothing. Did the high performance settings, nothing have worked.

Possible solution for game FREEZES and system reboots:
1) Update latest chipset drivers and BIOS for your motherboard. (be very careful with BIOS update watch guides or use help of experienced tech guys)
2) In BIOS settings DISABLE for ASUS-"Multicore enhancement", for MSI "Enhanced Turbo", for GIGABYTE "Tweaker tab, Enhanced Multi-Core Performance".
3) Clear AMD/Nvidia shader cache. (just google it)
4) DISABLE dynamic culling in game options.
5) Turn off Nvidia Reflex in game options.
6) CLOSE all your browsers and their processes in your system before playing the game.

For BES steps if you want to try it out:

1. Download BES CPU Limiter.
2. Unzip it, and run the .exe.
3. Launch Path of Exile 2 and stay on the log-in screen.
4. Go back to BES, and press the "Target" button.
5. Find pathofexile.exe in the list, select it, and press the "Limit this" button.
6. Set the slider at the bottom of BES between -2% and -5% (I would recommend -5%).

The task bar icon for BES should turn into a red square, Path of Exile 2 should be coloured in orange in the list inside BES, and it should say "Foe". See here for an example. Try anything between -2% and -5% (as mentioned I'd recommend -5% as -2% may not be enough to stop the system freeze)."

"Possible solution for game STUTTERS:

1) Update latest chipset drivers and BIOS for your motherboard. (be very careful with BIOS update watch guides or use help of experienced tech guys)
2) Clear AMD/Nvidia shader cache. (just google it)
3) Do NOT change NVIDIA control panel settings for PoE2.
4) Do NOT disable Full screen optimization in EXE files of the game.
5) CLOSE all your browsers and their processes in your system [in my case opened Chrome cause stutters every 2-3 seconds]
6) Turn OFF NVIDIA Reflex in game options tab.

Info for devs - mostly problem located in working browsers IDK how this correlate with PoE2 performance but it is!"

Having performance issues as well, on PC and on Steamdeck.

PC
AMD 5600g
7800xt graphics card
48gb ram.

Looks awful with dx12 and FSR(40ish fps)
Image quality much be in dx11 and fps jumps to 90.


Steamdeck
Graphics also looks terrible and blurry, fps around 40.

I've done everything and it still gives me 39-44 FPS, I've mostly just given up on trying to fix it since I realize it is a game-developer/driver problem and not something I can do to impact it.

Once I switch to DX12, you can see the FPS reduce and image quality significantly worst. The game looks much better in DX11

Check if you have Whisper Mode enabled in the Nivida app. This was the cause of my hard capped framerate when I updated my drivers and installed the nvidia app.

Go to Graphics > Global settings > and turn off whisper mode.

You have dynamic resolution on so when you change to FX12 and the fps goes down its tryes to decrease the resolution to improve the frame rate. If you turn that off the image quality should be normal

This could possibly be C states!

I got same problem. But use DDU to uninstall driver completely and re-install it can fix this bug until next patch.

Does anyone have a solution that will work once and for all?

I'm having exact same issue on 4060/7800x3d/32gb/b650m-p. I updated to 24h2 a few days ago. 45-50 fps with lowest or highest settings on DX12.

After spending all night investigating and trying everything you did i found my card is only reporting as PCIE x1 4.0 rather than x8 4.0 in gpuz and ncp even when under load. My mobo only has 1 PCIE gen 4 x16 socket and my cables are correctly connected.

I can get 60fps in PoE2 using dx11 and have only played other DX11 games such as BG3 and XIV since i built this machine in June and they reach 4k 60fps no problem using DLSS. As i have no other Dx12 games performance to compare to i don't know if this just a reporting error or whether ive had poor performance since i built the system itself and just not noticed.

Today i tried my GPU in a friends machine and it reported x8 4.0 as it should. His 4060ti also reported as only x1 4.0 on mine under load. I tried an old 1050 which is gen 3 x16 and that reports fine so im totally stumped on whether i have duff mobo or there is a driver/bios issue somewhere.

had same problem "gpu is in PCIe x1 4.0 mode"
fix is forcing PCIe x16 to gen 4 in BIOS. Turning off Vsync in game options.

To poster above i tried that and it didn't help but i fixed it! I was in the bios and noticed i was not infact on the latest (non beta) bios even though i could of sworn i was! Upgraded and boom x8 4.0! DX12 now working like butter in PoE2.

Just incase anyone else see this with the same problem i went from 7E27v1B (AGESA 1.2.0.0a) to 7E27v1C (AGESA 1.2.0.2) on the MSI B650M-P.
