System Requirements for PoE is a joke

I guess, I shouldn't even bother to try and play PoE on a laptop with i3, 6 gigs of ram and Intel HD 4000 :(


I have an older desktop that has a intel 4k hd built in (replaced with a newer pcie card but still) and it really runs this game horridly (runs other stuff just fine...). Solo in most areas (IE no rain, elemental ground, corrupted areas or any of the other known trouble areas) I get 30-40 fps but add a team or a few of the known fps killers and it tanks to the single to low double digit fps rates... add both it it tanks below 1 fps at times. And since the mobile intel hd 4k is slightly worse then the desktop one, I'd be wary of even trying it with the new changes to some starter areas bosses that look to be utter framerate killers (and the corrupted areas will kill that card anyway). And chances are you'll either run into frame rate killers often enough or end up using places that have them as your


Cpu wise and ram wise, you'll be perfectly fine but that hard drive read speed and the gpu pretty much will make this unplayable for you.


Sorry but ya, that laptop wouldn't be an enjoyable experience with this game at all. Stuttering low fps rate + desync + one shot kills + disconnects due to low fps rate will make this more painful then fun.

edit : also I would ignore the minimal specs on places on gamedebate as they haven't been accurate since beta... pretty much now the recommended specs there are closer to the new minimal specs and even then just barely anymore and likely even the recommended specs there will be below minimal with the new additions coming out.


an intel HD isn't a real GPU it allows your processor to handle 3D applications better, its more an utility than a real card.

You should get a Nvidea or Radeon card whatever is more price effective for you to buy (discard brand fanboyism).

The Nvidea M970 and M980 chips are excellent for the laptop as GPU they have power equivalent to roughly 70% of the GTX 970 and 980. Though you better live in the USA to buy this at an affordable price. In Europe gaming laptops are through the roof expensive, and you can't really put a 3d card in yourself like with a desktop.
The problem is that this retarded game dosn't take it's resorces from the gpu it take it from cpu....
I have a RadeonR7 370 256 bus 4g memory and poe uses 80% cpu all the time my cpu Amd2x2 3.4Gz on a 4g ram ddr 3 .... So my question is this why does a game whit medium graphics kill your pc's cpu ? God bless poor management u sell 1000 skins and can't afford decent programers :( sad it had problems in the past but now Prophecy league is the wors by far as performance goes.
How do you have system requirements for poorly written code and unstable servers?
Well I have 2 PC's that me and my wife play from. The lowest is her 10 year old Intel PC:

Mobo: Biostar P4M90-M7A
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core E6180 at 1.8 Ghz
GPU: Galaxy Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT 512 GDDR3
RAM: 4 GB DDR2

And it runs on Medium :) with DX9 EX or DX 9 set in the options. With the latest Patch. So the minimum must be lower than this.

That adds so much to the conversation. Are you a programmer? Have you written your own graphics engine?

um, thats really nice. I tried to play PoE on 3,10 GHz AMD Dual-Core cpu / Radeon HD6450 1GB gpu / 4GB RAM and I was unable to reach 40fps on 1024x768 all low:( feelsbadman

You dont have to be a programmer to see that the game engine is dogshit. I have a RX 580+ R5 1600x and the fps jump like crazy, even in towns when ppl with a lot of mtx run arround. I can play other more resource hungry games without any issues.
No, the game isn't "perfectly optimized". Far from. But that doesn't change the fact that it's pretty "unfair" to blame everyone else for the fact that you can't run the game perfectly fine on a 4-5 years old system.

If this game is to "move forward" in terms of graphics and optimization, they have to take advantage of today's technology. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that continuously supporting very old systems might become a bottleneck for future development.

And I'll repeat myself: No, the game isn't perfectly optimized. Yes, there is work to be done - especially in the AMD GPU department. But - just because it's a F2P game, doesn't mean you can demand to be able to run it smoothly on old systems.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

i'm far from being expert in graphics programming, but i do program angular sites.
I know this:
coding a simple webpage that would look good on:
ie/firefox/chrome/safari
and would be responsive to different resolutions (some use 800*600, some use 1920*1024 etc etc)
is HARD.
we always have issues with that on work, and that's just a simple webpage.

Creating a graphical engine that would cover ALL graphic cards, with different resolution, different computer specs, are almost impossible.

even the huge companies, like Rockstar/Blizzard/EA have issues with the variety of graphic cards.

it's easy to diss the code.
believe me, i see occasional glitches, but the code of POE is breathtaking.
so many factors, so many details to be calculated... i think it's amazing.

DirectX: Version 9.0c
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Hard Drive: 5 GB available space


Source is from Steam PoE page.


i think this needs to be updated. Something like

OS: Windows XP/Vista/Win 7/8
Processor: intel-7 or faster processor
Memory: 8GM RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 770 GTX or ATI Radeon HD 7970 or better
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Hard Drive: 10GB Available space and an SSD for faster loading.


At the end, you need a high end gaming PC for playing PoE. Witch is sad but true.


Edit: Wonder why they didnt post a maximum specs to play this game on max and enjoy it in parties. I know, what ever you buy you will get fps drop.


LOL
