How To Stop POE From Stuttering [AMD GPU] & [Nvidia GPU] FIX

I will hopefully help you fix this problem!

Info!

This Guide is mostly for "AMD GPU" But if you have a "Nvidia GPU" I have steps to help you out as well there just won't be any pictures!

Step 1

Open up "Path of Exile" and click on "Options"

Step 2

Click on "Game" at the top and step "Networking Mode" to "Auto"

Lockstep = Game Stutters!

Predictive = Server Rubber Banding!

Auto = You will not get neither because they will Auto counteract each other, If the game is about to stutter it will auto set to "Predictive" so the game does not stutter and if you are about to server rubber banding it will auto set to "Lockstep" so you do not get server rubber banding!

You could also try setting it to "Lockstep" and putting all your graphic settings to the lowest setting possible if for whatever reason "Auto" doesn't help you out!

Step 3

Pick your class that you are playing with and fully load into the game after go into your game "Options" and disable both "Dynamic Culling" & "Dynamic Resolution"

Step 4

"Alt + Tab" to your desktop!

Step 5

Right click on your desktop and click on "AMD Software : Adrenalin Edition"

[For NVIDIA GPU users it should be called "Nvidia Control Panel"]

Step 6

After "AMD Software : Adrenalin Edition" opens up click on "Gaming" at the top!

Step 7

Then click on "Display" under "Gaming"

Step 8

Make sure "Adaptive Sync Compatible" is Disabled!

[For NVIDIA GPU users it should be called "G-SYNC"]

Step 9

Then click on "Graphics" under "Gaming"

Step 10

Make sure "Radeon Boost" is Disabled!

[For NVIDIA GPU users it should be called "Image Scaling"]

Step 11

Scroll all the way at the bottom and click on "Advanced"

Step 12

Scroll all the way at the bottom and click on "Perform Reset" next to "Reset Shader Cache"

For "NVIDIA GPU" you'll need to go into the "Nvidia Control Panel" click on "Manage 3D Settings" scroll down to "Shader Cache Size" and set the "Shader Cache Size" to "Disabled" then restart your PC! After your PC restarts go back and change it back to the default setting that it was set to before you set it to default!

*WARNING*

If this fixes your problem you're going to have to do "Step 12" every time you launch your game!

For NVIDIA users, you can also delete the Shader Cache files manually, if you don't want to restart C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\NVIDIA

(Though a restart is probably a good thing if you are having issues and haven't done it in a while)
