I honestly didn't expect a performance increase when my 1080 arrived.

I was right.

Random FPS spikes, ground effects still shitting on FPS, especially burning ground, no idea why it's still even in the game.

The 12 or so crashes I've gotten this morning are making me want to quit this game I love so much.

TLDR; No difference in performance from GTX 980 to GTX 1080.

No surprise to be honest. It is not like PoE's engine is designed to take advantage of that hardware.

Yea there's no reason a game like this would even need a GPU close to a 1080. Does anyone know if GGG acknowledges these issues and working on a resolution? Seems a lot of people are having the same issue.

You went from hunting fish in a barrel with a shotgun to hunting fish in a barrel with a bazooka. Of course you're not going to see the difference in a game like PoE. Probably playing in 1080 also where the video card is basically asleep.
Considering that with my gtx770ti I have zero of the issues you have, I would look at the rest of your setup before blaming the crashes on PoE's engine.

I have a feeling Poe runs better on some older hardware than it does on new stuff... I use an ancient fx9800 gtx+ that ive had nearly 8 years now lol, granted I have post effects turned off, but my fps counter on the F1 metrics view is 255 to 333 ... overkill...

Only issue I do have with Poe is the networking, due to the latency spikes I cant play on lockstep, the freezing during movement is frustrating as hell

Runs great on the 760 I have. Great. No problems with a single core processor from 2009 either.

I agree though, the technical stuff at GGG needs serious work. I just seem to have exactly the machine they're designing their game for.

Why would you bother replacing a 980 at this point anyways unless you just have more money than you know what to do with?

How many watts does your power supply have on the 12v rail by the way?

Because 1080 > 980 when you're playing on an ultrawide 1440p 100hz monitor.

If your still using ancient technology like a 1080p 60hz monitor than a GTX 980 is just fine and im sure you won't notice a significant FPS drop if you're capping your FPS at 60.

It's noticeable when it drops from 100 to 30-40.

I'm playing coc discharge on a 660 ti and performance is fine. But when I was RMAing the 660ti and using a gtx 260 the performance was terrible. So GPU does make a difference.

specs:
CPU: intel 4790k @ 4.4
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-U14S
Case: corsair graphite 760T
Memory: 32gb dd3-1600 (2x CMZ16GX3M2A1600C9)
Storage #1: Samsung 850 pro 256gb SSD, RAPID enabled, 10% over provisioning (OS drive, windows 7 pro 64)
Storage #2: Crucial mx200 500gb x2 SSD raid 0 (game drive, steam, poe, etc)
Motherboard: MSI z97 gaming 7
Sound: onboard sound + astro a40 + mixamp for surround virtualization
PSU: evga supernova 850 g2
GPU: PNY 660 Ti
UPS: CP1200AVR
Monitor #1: Dell Ultrasharp 2407WFP (1920x1200) = PoE full screen windowed, vsync, high everything, 16x AF, post processing on, screen shake disabled, Lockstep.
Monitor #2: Dell Ultrasharp 2208WFP (1680x1050) = hearthstone + twitch + movies/tv show + excel + Skype + mumble + winamp + open hardware monitor, etc.
Internet: 1 Gbps DL, 50 Mbps UL, unlimited bandwidth (Washington server, 30-50 latency)

FPS is constant ~60. Doesn't drop for anything when solo (aside from loading between zones, but that doesn't count). I keep temps low and focus on rock-solid stability instead of OCing (especially since OCing isn't needed for anything I'm currently playing).

PS. I do plan to upgrade my 660 Ti to a non-founders 1070 eventually (GPU core and memory load will cap on the 660ti, while the CPU cores stay under 25% and the RAM under 40% (with many, many things open)).

Should have went AMD, scrub.

[/sarcasm, I am thinking about grabbing the 1070 myself]
