Dear GGG

I'm about to invest on a new rig exclusively to run flawlessly PoE when FoO comes live.

Know that my current PC runs with no issues the current version of the game (2.6x), but upon testing 3.0 beta, it was nearly impossible to play the game due to the major graphic improvements that have been introduced.

Now then, since GGG has not updated for ages the information regarding specs for PoE, it's about time they let us know which specs would handle optimally the new and upcoming version of PoE (3.0).

I'm posting this query in the Public Forum instead of sending a PM because I'm sure many others would be also interested in knowing this.

Best regards,

Just get what ever you can afford and you will be ok.

I am running an i7 2600k (5 years old) with an Asus gtx980 and i can run the game fine.
In fact i can even stream fine.

My play style is casual. I dont like this fast meta clearing crap where you cant see anything.

If you play.

Vaal spark = No matter what rig you have your PC will struggle.
Vaal Fireball = Its not as bad as Vaal Sparks you will be fine.

Everything else is alrite.

any sandy bridge and up i7
any gtx 770 or better
as low as possible internet ping
any ssd

there you go specs for any poe expansion.
Most configurations are alright unless you buy something stupidly underpowered.

Probably the 2 most important things that you can get to play PoE is an SSD and having a really good internet connection.

Any 200buck graphics card will do. shot for something like 16gb of memory although I'm fairly sure even 8 would do. a good I5 will do or one of the cheaper I7, alternatively AMD quad cores are pretty good too.

It hasn't been updated because it dose not need to be, the requirements were the minimum requirements to get the game to run, not to run well and with that sort of PC you CAN run the game.

It's a waste of time giving recommended specs, because while they can have the game running flawlessly on specs they recommend you might not because there is more to PC gaming than the parts you stick in

If you are okay with 1080p gaming with mostly stable 60fps game play that dips as low as 20-30s in clustered situations then the requirements are not that steep.

If you want a rig that plays 1440p at 120 fps with no dips below 80, that is beyond technological reach.

That is pretty awful to hear.

Indeed. And I myself cannot confirm that.
But PoE's known for very different results on different machines.

That's what you need to run PoE smoothly in almost all circumstances.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

Have you tested the beta with these specs?
