So I was mapping on my 69 Shadow when all of a sudden I got Blue Screened with some crazy errrors related to my graphics card. I can play Guild Wars 2 and Final Fantasy 14 on ultra settings but PoE causes my GPU to committ suicide? For some reason I find this really funny and it has to be a World First.
Did you even consider the more rational possibility that your GPU was already dying and that it died while you were playing PoE, just as if you were playing any other game at that moment ? I guess not. If my GPU dies when I'm playing X or using Y on my PC, I won't jump to the conclusion that X or Y killed my GPU, because it's more than likely that the hardware itself is the first suspect. The "nothing on my end" mindset make people do some weird reasoning : "1/ I was playing PoE ; 2/ My GPU died while playing PoE ; 3/I was playing other games on max settings and my GPU didn't die while playing them. 4/Therefore, PoE killed my GPU". Hu ?
PoE recently made my video drivers crash 10 times over and made my GPU smoke.

Poe can be very VERY heavy on GPUs due to all particles and other objects on screen at once. But the game would crash or slow down to 0.1 fps before it blows any hardware...
It does however keep your card working nonstop so if its already failing and you play PoE allot, well... chances are your card will RIP at some point.
Yes, every time your exile desyncs you are damaging your video card, LOL.
Edit: Or should I be crying or swearing because PoE desyncs so much. If GGG offered frequent desync miles I'd have a million miles racked up by now.
"You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

AMD quad core 3.6GHz, 4 gigs of ddr3 ram, a well reviewed Asus MB, WD serial drives @ 7200 rpm, Nvidia GTX 960, windows XP pro (Service pack 3)...you'd think that this would be fine running POE, right?
Wrong.
I get a BSoD at least once a day playing POE also the machine locks up and has to be rebooted at least once a day and the lag is sometimes beyond horrible, so bad in fact that it reminds me of the old mega battles in Eve online. The usual course of events is that after 10 to 15 minutes of POE and my puter locks up or gets a BSoD, I reboot it, half hour to an hour later same scenario occurs...this goes on the entire time I play the game. Sometimes its more frequent, sometimes its not bad at all and I can get in 3 to 4 hours with no issues.
I know its not the puter, I play other games and render large graphics files on this box without issue, for some reason POE and this box do not get along.

Unsupported OS for the win. I guess it could have been Windows NT. ..so there is that. BSOD could occur for a whole host of reasons fyi.
Thanks for all the fish!

Now im scared, im playing other games well and when im in poe, especialy in hideout temperature rise up to 70°C even i dont have many deorations in HO
And this started maybe 10 days ago, before it was ok, like with all other games
same here, i've noticed 'odd' screen flickering and higher GPU temps of late.
I alt+tab out of the game regularly, normally my GPU temp hovers around 40-50c with the fan speed at 70%..
last few days, whenever the screen would go all batshit crazy i jumped out and the temps where mid to high 70c's ??
just odd, never had a issue before, just started happening.. PC is only 2 yrs old, running a high-end card, along with the CPU OC'd to 4.4 and 16gb's ram.. way overkill for this game.. so, i dont know.

Yes, BSoDs can happen for a variety of reasons. unfortunately POE is the reason for mine. Whether or not MS supports the OS or not has no bearing on the issue.

well, you are running a dead OS (what, it will be a year next month MS pulled support) there could be an issue between the game & XP that a patch could fix. its possible..
Or, it could be your PC (no offence), the game is a resource hog.. i have 16gbs of ram, just sitting in town at the moment, according to the usage meter, the game is using 5gbs of ram, again thats just sitting in town, doing nothing! So your 4gbs may be the issue.. OR your GPU, 960 (again no offence) is somewhat dated. not sure about your CPU, 'amd quad core' doesnt really tell me much, they have been making those for YEARS.. so put them all together, POE is taxing your system past its limits, could be that is..

Again PoE has one of the worst engine optimization...
And, yes PoE is the stereotypical classic example of a hardcore "resource hog".
The problem could also be very much the PC... because the fact that PoE even tho has subpar graphic effects compare to many other games yet taking a lot more resources hence if there's a slightest damage on the gfx chip/memory/heatsink fan even tho this will be unnoticeable in other games... PoE will often times crash your PC over and over if not ending the life of the component completely.
The real hardcore PoE players and the elites sit in town and zoning in and out of their hideouts trading items. Noobs that don't know how to play PoE correctly, kill monsters for items. It's pure fact, it will never change.
Welcome to PoE.

Not poe's fault but the game is hard on gpus indeed
Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.

4 GB RAM is the absolute minimum to run PoE well. I upgraded to 8 GB just because of PoE and it ran much better since then. Also, is your Windows a 32 bit one? That's also a big no-no with PoE :)
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence. Last edited by Xavderion#3432 on Mar 27, 2015, 8:02:50 AM
