Framerate drops rapidly

AMD Radeon HD 7670M 2g
8g ram
i5

Same problem

Well that Card is extremely weak, can't expect much from it.

I could have agreed with you but it runs d3 and gw2 smoothly.
Looks like no matter what class ATI card you have you're gonna suffer from this issue.

I'm having these issues too with Ati 7850.

Going to test if my old card Nvidia 8800gt has the same problems.

EDIT:
I can confirm not having any of the framerate spikes that i had with my Ati card. Ran through the Docks and Warehouse sewers with no hickups.

same here..

hd4800..

wow, gw2, d3 easy.



fix it pl0x

Huge frame drops in party play, specially in act 3 and some caves/dungeons.
Ati 6870

It would be nice if there was a option to lower the quality of effects in the video menu, some effects such as Lightning arrow or Arctic breath are fps killers in party play.

I understand its Beta, and its not optimized for certain cards, having an option to reduce drastically the special effects would be nice tho, so we can all keep testing this trully magnificient game you created.

After patch "improved performance in docks" no improvement whatsoever, still get fps drops from 80+ to 0 even at twilight strand when killing the first zombie and summoning skeletons... havent really "played" for a week because of these issues.

This did not help at all, if anything seemed to make things worse. Radeon HD 4870, winxp sp3, 2gb ram, dual core 3,2Ghz. Never EVER have i had to mess around with computer settings and drivers so much trying to get a game to work before Path Of Exile... all my efforts gone to waste, nothing seems to help even a little bit.

Getting mighty tired of not being able to play, just gonna die time after time until those FPS spikes/freezes stop happening, so i might as well not play at all. Even if i survive its annoying as hell to run away spamming health potions hoping you live while watching the slideshow happening on your screen, as it happens practically every time theres a large fight on the screen. Buying those microtransactions/effects would probably make things worse as its EVEN MORE effects on the screen... i wish i could buy "All Effects Off" from the store, that would actually help as i could actually PLAY THE GAME.
