Huge FPS drops

I have an amd 7600x and amd 7900 xt. Both overclocked. Ram set to 4800+6000 expo boost. Poe 2 installed on a gen 4 m2 drive. Resolution is 3440x1440 2k ultrawide. My connection is around 32ms.

Dont be sensitive... but when I play d4 I set the frame limit to 165 (my refresh rate) and it bounces off the limit all day, and in the real big mobs, the frames may drop to 120. Everything set to max except raytracing turned off.

In poe 2... the TOP frames I get may be 150 sitting in my hideout... and come the mobs.. small mobs will bring me down to around 70fps... big mobs take me down to 40fps... sometimes, even lower. I have seen 28-35fps.

I have tried everything I can find to change this. At a certain point its like.. snap out of it. What am I doing? My hardware should handle this fine. This game should not be crumbling.

I play a witch summoner build. Arsonists + flame wall + unearth. Once the little guys come out of unearth and run through the flame wall its OVER buddy, its over. We're hitting 38fps, crash landing incoming.

Its bothering me and im burning out my attention span. Anyone? I have cleared shader, set cpu priority to realtime, tried limiting cores, tried all the game settings in the world and more, even limiting sound channels, limiting lights, all the rendering types, etc etc etc. At a certain point why am I limiting things and limiting my fps to 60 in hopes of finding stability? Why. I don't do this on any other game. I always have great performance in any. other. game.

Pls send help.
I know its early access.
It didn't come out of nowhere though... poe 1 and all..

helllpppppp

bump?

Lossless Scaling might help in the absence of an actual fix.
Its a 6$ program on steam that will let you add Frame Generation.

I cap game at 82fps and then frame gen to 165.

Thank you, I will look into this. Since I got to the end-game and started doing lvl 15 maps all I can see is this problem, since it's constant bigger mobs. Even if I run 1080p, I am still crashing way down in frames and see ultimately no benefit. I may try that app as a band-aid for now...

It's wild, I turn on FSR performance mode, turn everything down, set it to 1080p, and mid mobs I am still crashing into 45 frames and it feels bad. I can't even tell if theres a frame benefit before the mobs hit. I can mess some settings around that get me around 220 frames in my hideout, no scaling. Once enemies are around, everything just tanks. I don't have this issue in any other game, and this is the game I wanna play lol but it's driving me nuts, so.

I will probably try that app. I might do a windows fresh install also, we will see...

Definitely does not seem to help, unfortunately.
