FPS Struggle with RTX3080
|
8700K is in fact not enough to feed the poor 3080 :)
I speak from personal experience, I am a gen behind in CPU but gen ahead in GPU, 7700K + 4070. I had to push the CPU as far as it goes (4,8GHz, watercooled) to even approach stable FPS outside of hideout / in maps. It still dips down to 40-ish. What worked for me was switching to Vulkan renderrer ... after you get over the little time the game will load slower and get over the fact that sometimes you won't see shit until it's shaders get compiled, it is overall better for me with the 7700K + 4070 combo. The shader cache builds itself after a while of use and it is much better ( ~20%, 110FPS Hideout vs 144FPS hideout ) than DX12 for me. And if the CPU gets hammered hard it tends to stutter much less. |

" Im thinking you're right. On the bright side im building a new PC soon. Im going to build it before the 5080/5090 comes out. and use the 3080 in the meantime. (if compatible) I will overclock in the next few days to see if that helps Multi-Demi Winner

Here u can see that the 8700k bottlenecks your CPU. The 8700k is a little lower then the 10700k I didnt have any problems with a cheap Ryzen 7600 non X  Last edited by mildmr#1615 on Dec 24, 2024, 8:30:39 AM

PoE always was a very CPU intense game. Even tho I think PoE2 is better optimized than PoE1 or maybe it's just the less mobs on the screen.
I'm running a 3080 10gb aswell and I get between 80-120fps at 4k resolution. All details high with DLSS on Quality setting. I recently upgraded from a Ryzen 3800X to Ryzen 5800X3D tho and I definitely felt the difference in PoE1. Beforehand I couldn't play PoE1 in DX12 at all, but now it runs as smooth as in vulcan. |

Using a 3070 and getting 100 fps on average at 4k with quality dlss on high. Using a 13600k cpu, defo a bottleneck somewhere or driver issue. Im guessing a cpu bottleneck.

" I'm going to overclock now. I did wonder why my CPU usage wasnt 100% if there was a bottleneck, but that may not be the only factor considered when it comes to how a bottleneck comes to fruition im learning a lot thank you everyone Multi-Demi Winner

I upgraded to an i-9900K because I though the processor bottleneck was the main issue, now I am not 100% sure.
I still get drops to 10-40 FPS during high action moments in maps. The low frames last the entire action make it hard to dodge, and annoying to play. I've given up on playing and spend my time trying to troubleshoot or playing other games. Specs: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K 8-Core CPU @ 3.60GHz (Boost 4.7Ghz) 64 GB 3600 MHz Ram Win 11 Samsung 980 SSD Pro I am planning on building a new PC with a 5080, and all new components, so this wont be an issue for me after January is over, but still, it bugs me and I keep coming back to try to find a fix to this problem.

Are you not using DLSS?
I have an older system with a 9900K and a 2080 running at 3440x1440 and I have no issues staying consistently above 60fps or so. If I lowered a couple graphics settings I could probably get the fps significantly higher, but it feels ok so I haven't messed with it. |

" Was going to say the same. Game is rough on the CPU, and sometimes Vulkan can net higher performance vs DX12. Certainly does on mine too. Though I don't run DLSS. Can't stand that blurry look it gives games. Need those crispy crunchy textures all over my screen. https://www.pathofexile.com/shop - Support Path of Exile!
