RYZEN CPU PLAYERS WITH PERFORMANCE ISSUES, DISABLE MULTITHREADING.
|
If you are playing Path of Exile on a machine with a Ryzen CPU, something about the way the virtual cores are laid out causes multithreading to induce massive frame stutters and freezing. If the game is obviously very laggy but the FPS tracker reads 60+ fps, this is probably your issue.
I don't know exactly why this happens, just that testing this SAVED my league start this league. It looked like I would need to upgrade my CPU in order to play the game at this point, until I stumbled on an old reference to multithreading in an old forum post. I gave it a test, and POE has never run smoother on my machine. This setting can be found in-game, at the bottom of the graphics menu. It's highly not recommended you do this, according to GGG, but if it doesn't improve your performance you can easily turn it back on. This appears to have been an issue for YEARS. Hopefully GGG does something about it soon. Last edited by Celestialex#2660 on Apr 7, 2023, 1:01:15 PM Last bumped on Apr 7, 2023, 2:58:20 PM

Yeah, no. I have one and I have 0 issues with POE.

If you don't have any performance issues, amazing. Good for you. I still recommend trying out a map or Blood Aqueduct both ways, and seeing if you get better performance.
However, there are dozens of threads on this site alone with unresolved frame stutters and game freezing that this problem is most likely the root cause of. This is for them. |

" I agree with Aragorn14. This is my pc and i don't have this problem --> AMD 5800x, 32GB 3600 MHz ram, Asus TUF OC 3070Ti, Samsung 980-Pro 1TB Gen4 NVME SSD So it can be the generation of Rysan cpu you have, the motherboard settings / bios, the ram and so on. You also have this issue with some generation of Intel CPU's and again this changes from hardware selection in regards to motherboardm ram and so on. |

OP amend this to apply more to older ryzens.
Someone with 5xxx or 7xxx isn''t going to see this all too often. It's only a problem for zen and zen2, had 2600 with same issue before this 5800x 5800x on 3080 and I still got multi threading on with good performance and minimal pacing issues unless I do laggy mechanics like 5ways or parts of delve. Most people on a ryzen should've already done the following Find stable to semi stable ram settings that are low latency as ram sticks can handle Get rid of use power saving features unless that's your thing Make sure window power saving features aren't messing with performance. On nvidia gpus make sure you're using low latency mode with the on or ultra setting vs off. That's it after that way more up to what the user wants and can handle.

7600x zen4, game works perfectly on dx12.
Many may have issues with dx11 tho |
