Love for POE2

Derwent — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 16:38:42 GMT

First of i want to say that I love the b580 and that I understand that Intels driver team is working around the clock.

But hot **bleep** the performance of the card when you reach endgame is horrible. Cannot run endgame content (breach, delirium, ritual etc) since anything above 10 mobs tanks the fps to under 20.

I know this is a **bleep** scenario for the b580, it being a new card and path of exile being in a pre-release state!

I know the b580 is not the only card suffering this problem, but if someone could take a look at optimizing the game for arc - that would really bring intel out in front of the competition!

Hope we get some love from the Intel devs and some Intel love from the POE2 devs!

1440p everything low XESS in ultra performace, DX12 (tried vulkan, but got worse performance).

No XeSS in Vulkan sadly, are you sure GI isn't on?

Battlemage seems to perform very badly with Global Illumination in alot of games

Same here, i can confirm everything TO has written.

Everything on the lowest possible settings, XeSS on ultra performance, DX12 -> < 20 fps in endgame maps. Vulkan or DX11 make it even worse in fps drop to one digit numbers.

My old 1080 was performing way better - like triple the fps on high settings, at least in endgame maps

GI is off - that does not help unfortunately.

Yep, and new drivers from Intel and a huge update from the POE devs did not address the problem at all.
