LOW FPS

[vega]

I have a computer with a i5-9400f, 1060 6gb and 16gb of ram (SSD also) and the game runs on a really low fps rate when in combat. On the graph the highest latency is from the CPU with 18~23 MS. Is a i5 9400f a good option for poe 2 or nah?

With those specs your really gonna need to nuke some of you're image quality and shaders to achieve higher performance but not a big deal, What resolution in you're monitor?

I also have a 1060 - reduce your graphics to the minimum and trurn off lighting/shadows.

1600 series cards the current minimum most developers are developing for, with 2000 series cards being the middle end.

all of my game is on the lowest, also with 1600x900 resolution. If i could get 60 fps constantly i wouldn't complain, but with the lamest graphics i still get 50 fps and 35~40 fps on fights

you shouldn't complain when you are running 1060, it's 720p gpu now.

Your framerate is going to be CPU processing time + GPU processing time so whatever is taking more time is the current bottleneck.

I would highly recommend upscalers for a 1060 but it will take more load off the GPU and put more load on the CPU so if your CPU processing time is currently higher than GPU you will not gain performance (and may lose some)

All this said, despite the 'system requirements', your GPU is 8 1/2 years old and is likely going to be losing driver support soon. Not to mention your CPU is a low end one from 6 generations ago.

If you want a solid 1080p 60fps I don't think your system is going to work out for you.

50 fps is manageable but you wanna keep it above 30!
stable FPS is better than high FPS
with this situation you need to run on vulkan, switch the setting to windows mode and nuke the resolution down even more, try 1400p then lower the max render res down to like 50% you will find the sweet spot it just takes time, took me a while to tweek my settings as well!
Performance patches are coming soon hopefully!

Classic gamer playing at a resolution his hardware clearly can not handle and then come here and complain. Love it, keep it up.

You're very rude!
Careful with how you treat folks, it could be you in this situation in the years to come.
You do well to remember that!

Well i have a i5 9400f same as you but a RTX 2080TI and 32GB 3200cl15 ram. ( on a Z-mainboard which for that cpu is important since otherwise your ram will be limited to 2600mhz no matter what it says on your ram module)
i run on WQHD everything HIGH

I can clearly see from my metrics that the 9400f is limiting my RTX 2080TI a lot.
my 2080TI can draw up to 290w but it never goes above 220w which means its never using more than 75% of its power since CPU is limiting the fps.

For you its probably different since my 2080TI is 3x as fast as a 1060

The 9400f is fast enough to produce ~ 70fps in PoE2 my RTX 2080TI can probably produce around 90fps but is limited by the cpu

Id say in your case the 1060 is clearly the limiting factor i mean its Graphic card from 2016...
amost 9 years old

Not true at all lmao

well it completely depends. A 1060 is from 2016 and it will basically not be able to run ~ 50% of the new games from 2023/2024 at an acceptable framrate.

I had to sell my GTX 1080m and buy used RTX 2080TI which is a lot faster because it could not run Remnant 2 at 60fps at all lowest and FSR.
Basically all games based on Unreal5 Engine will be too much for a 1060

yeah ok but my pc can run red dead 2 on high with constant 50~60 fps

Yes the bottleneck is from the CPU, the GPU can handle with 8 ms but on high density maps the CPU goes up to 26~32ms

Yes this makes sense, i thought it was the CPU because the cpu have the most latency but the gpu is too old too

its funny how some people get really upset when someone asks a question haha
