So.
Why GGG does not updates their requirements?
How can you explain them being so shameless?
Either is incompetence in developing it. Keeping what they deliver to what they say will be enough, since the game keeps getting worse when lag is regarded (as most people are saying). Or is simply shameless. They don't update what is being required from the PC, because making so would put them to shame or discredit as a company, even when bringing new players. An attempt of deceit.
Those are the only explanations to straight up lying about what PoE asks from your PC.

Because GPUs are literally many times faster than CPUs at handling mass calculations?

That statement is highly innacurate.

In a gpu any calculations myst be performed between frame rates.

What even is this mess supposed to mean? "between frame rates" - what?

Framerate is the term used for describing how many frames can be rendered per second. And a frame is produced in a so called "render pipeline" that works in a specific way. You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

Watch this video and learn something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8YtdC8mxTU

It's well presented and gives you a good but simplified idea of how this stuff works.

Oh, and you should also read this article: https://developer.nvidia.com/gpugems/gpugems/part-v-performance-and-practicalities/chapter-28-graphics-pipeline-performance

It's even funnier to me when you bring up tasks where the CPU excels at, as some kind of argument that you clearly picked off Google. Except, that's not what we are talking about here. But don't take it from me, let an Nvidia blog do that for you: Blog Post

And that's an old post that isn't accounting for current possible hardware scaling.

I know it is very easy to hit a wall using other engines. Unreal engine is designed mainly for first person 3D while it tries to remain generic. If, for example, you want an effect like seen the character behind the wall applying a transparent mask is maybe difficult or if you want to see 100 zombies in the screen there will be limitations, but you can do that easily with your own engine if you know how to do it. It is a trade off between the high cost to develop your own engine or use what there is already out there.
