I upgraded my PC from 2014 to 2025 !!! POE2 is the same crap FPS ..Trash.....

Bruh... the optimization of a game is the last step before full release, with all the different hardware and before the product is finalized - some systems struggle when they shouldn't. That's nothing new.

That's why you find enough ppl with a smooth - high fps performance on even older systems than yours.

I would never upgrade my PC because a EA game wasn't running 100%. Especially if all my other games run fine. It's EA and optimization will come. I am really losing faith in modern day gamers.

Any time you upgrade your system make sure to clean it up / optimize it. Running a simple program that optimizes your system/setting/drivers/etc usually fixes some head scratchers.

I did buy a better CPU, because it was simply necessary nto only for POE2, it was the main reason, but i had a 5600X with a 7800XT and the CPU was bottlenecking the GPU

For all the people who say "I don't have any issues" (and list their hardware):

It's not helpful to write that.

Path of Exile 2 lacks optimization, which happens randomly.
It's like you're saying: "I don't have any problems, the problem is only yours."

Please stop it, they need to fix it.

For all ppl who say "Path of Exile 2 lacks optimization" it's the last step of development before full release to optimize a game. Just post your system, settings, and you are done, but don't make outrage posts pretending it had to be optimized by now.

It's not that the game lacks optimization. It's that the game doesn't dial back on visuals/particles/enemies on screen at once. Good luck throwing money on hardware at a game that is not intended to be running at a high framerate in certain circumstances. I'm not sure what type of hardware you would need to get 100fps on two or three breaches open at the same time, with heralds and everything else popping off. But it's not the type of hardware I'd recommend opening your wallet for (just for this game).
