Are you buying a new rig for 3.0?
" I've watched quite a lot of DDR4 OC benchmarking for Ryzen on the various big tech channels. The general consensus seems to be that the performance gains scale very well going up to 2666, starts to fall off at 2933, and going 2933 to 3200 is very little difference. 2933 is the kinda sweet spot before diminishing returns is too great to bother wasting time/volts/money etc. | |
" yes, that's true. But it might be a result of current BIOS and microcode on the chips. It might have bigger effect after the platforms matures a bit. I think latest bios for majority of boards is from 10th April. Locally the difference between regular brand 2666MHz and 3200MHz Corsair was $10 so performance per buck, it made sense to buy them. Cheapest kit 3600MHz is $50 more from 3200MHz kit. Not a great deal considering my options. I had run couple more maps, it is great to see that PoE utilizes all threads of Ryzen (all 12 from the MSI Afterburner OSD) and GPU pulls 90%+ utilization. I am playing on DX11 beta even with the annoyance of fullscreen mode swapping to windowed every time i restart the client. I represent only myself, my own thought and believes.

Not in time for 3.0 but I hope I'll upgrade my crappy notebook after 5 years playing poe in slideshow mode.
Balance is an illusion, exile.

For those considering Ryzen, quick map with numbers enabled.

I bought a gtx 1070 last year, the performance is solid overall but I still get significant dips when things get messy on screen. I think I'll upgrade my CPU to see if that improves things. Currently using an i7 3770, which is almost 5 years old.

old computer here
i5 4570 3.2 ghz 8 gb ram radeon r9 270x 2gb graphics from 2013 some old 2tb mechanical hdd everything runs fine (40+ fps) even on directx 11 so there is no point to make any upgrades as i only really play this game. thanks a lot to ggg for the performance improvements. without those i'd have had to upgrade. | |

No, why would i lol? My shit runs fine. PoE just isn't well optimized, most ppl who dunno what's what always blab about hardare specs, when in actuality it's mostly about software optimization. You have games that look better and run smoother and then you have games that look worse, but also run worse. You don't need a supercomputer to run PoE, but it also can't be a potato. I just wish they'd optimize it, cos PoE is known to be poorly optimized, hence making it so that a lot of people can't properly play it, because most ppl don't buy a new NASA supercomputer every 2 months, to get 1% better performance rofl.
Quit after Legion, rejoined PoE to see what the game's like now in 3.12.

software is 10 years behind hardware. Why the hell would we update every time a game is released?

" many players do that as you can see in this thread too. |
