Insufficient for POE. The motherboard uses first gen DDR and PCIe, so it is too old to upgrade. I'm dropping $100 next week to add 2G RAM and upgrade to a GT 430. Hopefully that will allow me to play on min settings :(

I suggest getting a dual core atleast if not a quad core soon.. Your cpu may be bottlenecking your gpu.. =)

I'm going to save up and build a gaming rig from scratch. Why would I invest in something that doesn't support the last 2 generations of DDR or the full potential of PCIe2.0+
This computer is ok to surf the net. That's about all it's good for.

And that is what you call "cheap"?!? LOL!
Cheap is a dual core 3 years old computer with a crappy video card.

Letting that aside, I would be interested too to see what kind of computer you need to play Path of Exile at max settings. Maybe some lucky beta accounts owners could post their system specs here?

you can pick up a computer like this at our local tech store for about 1500, so yea it's cheap these days :P

1500 isn't cheap lol.

Radeon HD 5770 VaporX,
Athlon II X3 440
8 Gb Ram
Windows 7

The game FLIES on my machine, although I experienced some crashes which I am not sure if they are processor related, or game related.

I pray to god that it is processor, as I don't wanna be the one who can't play the game because of some weird incompatibility.

well i will have to look into it. im still lagging back out to the login screen and getting the rendering error thing.

The login screen is reeeeaaaaally un optimised. Dont worry about that. Its awaiting tech for an upgrade.

I can run it all maxed out, however when i enable post processing i get texture glitches when i use any effects or if theree is any fire. It's like a see-through box which distorts everything inside.

Phenom II x4 955BE @3.6Ghz \
Biostar TA790GXE 128m
CF 5850
KVR 2x2Gb
Seagate 500GB

This game is pretty well optimized given the level of graphic fidelity this game outputs.

I have screenshots in my thread(Though sometimes i run the game in windowed so they are not at max res):http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/11431/page/1/#p212160

I'm running a laptop with:

Intel i5 430m @2.27ghz
4GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5730m 1GB DDR3
1366 x 768 Resolution (Native)

Maxed out with 35-60FPS, which I am perfectly happy with. The game is very well optimized, even the (un-optimized according to devs) login screen.

Does anyone know if the performance of the beta is likely to be indicative of the performance of the release candidate? For instance, are new assets/content likely to be added that will degrade performance, or conversely is the code still going to be optimized for improved performance?

One would assumed that it shall be optomized

Reading specs and performance on here, I'd say a build like the one below should be able to run PoE on 1920x1080 on high. And it comes quite cheap tbh.

- Intel P67 board + i5 series, i7 2500K if you can afford one + 4GB DDR3 1600mhz
- AMD Radeon 6870 or preferably 6950 or Nvidia 560 (Ti)
- "Any 2011 HDD" (pref. Samsung / WD) for storage, OCZ Vertex 3 or Crucial M4 SSD.
- 500W power supply + regular ATX case, one fan and a aftermarket cooler if you care enough to get your 2500K to 4Ghz and above.

Last rig I build for a friend like this (60GB Vertex, 2TB drive, i5 2310 CPU, nvidia 560 (non-TI)) cost €700 incl the OS.

That's half of the earlier quoted USD 1500, as most of the time the conversion is €=$ anyway.

A system like that will probably come a long way, I for one have hold on to my 3 year old X58 system for a while, only had to replace my graphicscards once. (And slapped on additional storage / screens)

Computers got really cheap and powerfull over the last year, I for one really hope PoE gets some awesome extra eye-candy, high end GPU slaying features!
