Is the RTX 3080 too much for POE?

i play on a 1440px 144hz monitor with an rtx1060... terrible, cant even get 60fps (usually 40fps on fights). Im planing to buy a new pc next month with an ryzen 5 5600x and i think that rtx3070 cant even reach this 144fps with 1440px in this game couse of this terrible optimization, so im going for the rtx3080 for sure

Having a RTX 3070 paired with a Ryzen 7 3700X here on a 1440p165Hz monitor. Poe is in the range of 60 to 80 FPS with everything in max quality. GPU usage always near 100% and CPU around 60 to 70 mostly.

This game competes with ARK survival in champions of bad GPU optimization. For reference in COD Warzone i'm having always over 130 FPS with everything max except ray tracing because it's not worth it in this game.

I wish more people can understand that CPU accounts for so incredibly much in terms of performance for games such as POE. Your low fps has almost nothing to do with 'gpu optimization'.

Your cpu is a 3.6 out of the box with a boost of 4.4. Even boosted that's a medium to low overclock. And that's for ONE core to be boosted to that, because you have an AMD 8 core.

And you even point it out for me; you compare this game to COD. COMPLETELY different in terms of gpu / cpu usage. COD just needs your gpu for image rendering, there's not NEARLY as many calculations going on.

For reference I play on 3440x1440, and Depending on just what's going on I can get anywhere from 100fps to my 200fps max. I'm still using a 2080ti, but it's thanks to my i7 that I have boosted to 5.1ghz.

As you can see, I'm at consistent 99% GPU usage and never hitting max CPU usage, so I believe it means I'm GPU bound here, with the 3070 and Ryzen 7 3700X, both at stock speeds. Also for the recap: 1440p, all the settings cranked up, DX render. As you can also see, the FPS is in the 80's which is consistent trough gameplay, except when very heavy calculations come into place, like populated maps, where I can agree with you that the CPU may be hitting the roof and holding the FPS back.

Let me know if I'm missing something.

yeah most people can't even understand how engines work
they need to make the game from scratch to put the game inside another

and the main problem with the actual engine is memory bandwidth limitations, you can't see this problem when going through the acts 1 to 10 but when you push the mob quantity on maps and put some instantaneous spawning like delirium the engine struggles to send everything in time to cpu and ram thus creating stuttering and fps dips

and GGG always tries to push the limits with new mechanics and even greater complex graphics...we always feel like the game weird because the optimizations can't keep up with those additions

we should have some way to benchmark the game but it is hard with RNG going on
