POE using 70%+ of my CPU

I wouldn't thought that POE needs to use 70%+ of my 12core Ryzen 7900X CPU... and then still lag, what I think is that there is some sort of Miner added to it.

This has been happening pretty frequently across the game-spectrum... I've seen posts in several different game forums where players are playing their game and noticing performance issues, then reporting "ZOMG GAEM BAD DEVS BAD 90% USE KILTED NEIGHBORS CAT" on a regular basis... only to figure out they got shuffled off to a secondary Intel(m) GPU (laptop) or their game dumped to CPU Rendering, 'cause their GPU driver coughed up blood and died during play. Why? Reasons unkown, though live OS/Driver updates might be a culprit.

You're not alone, just letting you know. :)

(Nobody cares what you're doing when they decide THEIR product absolutely must get "critical" updates so that the Microsoft Office install on "your" computer that you refuse to use gets its new Micro$oft $tore icon colors rendered properly... :/)

It's using 70% of your mystery CPU.

..*reinstall* drivers particularly to the most stable version.

How come you refer to it as "Mystery CPU"?

First i tought it was because of uncapped frames but even with 300fps my cpu usage is ~15%. With normal 180fps cap its much lower, even below 10% usage.

Must be amd thing or bad drivers.
