If you have a nvidia 1060 gtx/equivalent or lower stick to Ps4 Pro

I have less and it run perfectly fine.
But true GGG is now building the game for the rich chinese.

I have 1060 and PoE runs nicely on 1440p, but I’ve never had console so I can’t tell t different;)
PC player forever;)

I honestly can't believe people still think a console-targeted build is the same as the PC-targted build and that this somehow reflects on the CONsole as being the superior...

SMH this is the "Xbox One is going to be as powerful as a PC at half the price" debacle all over again. 😞

game is more cpu hungry than gpu.

PC MASTER RACE FOREVER!

Yep, just grabbed the new drivers last night, significantly reduced my intervention lag.
Got all 4 of the bastards in a Fort too, hit 94 last night... feels good!
PC for life!
We started D3 on the PS4, that's how I lured my buddy to PC... then to POE!

game ran just fine on my old 970. running a 2080 now this game doesnt even make its balls break a sweat before my cpu gets pinned out. its not gpu heavy at all but it does put a nice workload on the cpu, especially in mapping when theres syndicate around then i'll get some minor dips but thats pretty much it

Enjoy that controller, hun.

I have to say it... PS4 is making it so I don't need a major computer upgrade. If you bother to read my posts from last league you can see that my toaster could no longer handle POE in any sort of playable form. I'm personally not going to spend the cash when the PS4 performs pretty damn well. That doesn't mean I wouldn't love to drop a huge chunk of change on a great PC.

YES, there are tradeoffs. Certain skills are unplayable without the precision of a mouse. The trade system isn't really a system so much as a cruel joke. A board that can't be sorted, filled with overpriced garbage is not trade. It HAS to be fixed (trade needs some love on PC too.)

Biggest bonus for me, my friends that currently own ps4s and will never buy a gaming PC were all perfectly willing to download a free game and play with me.

It's all personal preference, but there are very nice aspects to the console version.

I never seen a worst engine than the one for PoE.

The character models look like straight out of PS2 era & environment looks average at best, but lag worst than all the latest AAA games I have.

I can play 4 players Diablo & the FPS remain smooth, but PoE turned to a blur with any decent enemies on screen, & the lag spike is horrifying.

PoE is not optimized properly and will never be optimized, because telling people to buy SSD and better GPU and pumping out MTX is more profitable then fixing the code.
