Performance in the future/at release

5 years really is a long time when it comes to laptops.

A laptop at 400-600£, which is a budget laptop, will already be half a year or even a whole year behind cards available to a desktop user when it comes to the CPU.

My 5 year old laptop doesn't run this game, it cost about 1300£ at the time.
I've OCed my GPU to be able to run it.

I don't expect to run new games, this laptop is outdated and then some, really. Others shouldn't either, many hobbies require you to update/invest in your stuff far more often, if you can't afford 500-1000£ worth of hardware every five years you're in a situation where you shouldn't be gaming at all, imo :P

@Neikius, you're very right about the quality of Apple products, you know what you're getting and it's usually very good stuff.
One generally shouldn't buy one of them to game with though... :P
Or any other task that isn't "general use" imo, I find Apple products to be "easy at the cost of versatility", which is kind of their motto as well.

I see OP's valid points. Game should be optimized to run at lowest at least on ~5 years old PC's.

powerful PCs from 5 years ago can run the game. Laptops are a different story. Weak parts are a different story.



ie. 8800GT\GTX, E6850, etc. Can easily run the game.

Your complaining about 25 fps on a laptop from 2008?
I have 15-20 fps on a laptop with an i7 core and an nvidea 540m graphix card.
PLZ PLZ FIX THIS

You can argue all you want but the fact is that PoE could definetely use some optimization. Just give them some time.

I know RAM is cheap but this game really ties up a large chunk. Over 2 GB in most act 3 areas. I find I get a huge boost in load times by giving the client.exe higher priority in Task Manager. I hope GGG's artists can shrink the size of those assets considerably come release.

This game also likes to run hot, and i can agree it's poorly optimized (and im running a 3570k overclocked to 4.6 and a GTX 570)

/facepalm

Ofc it runs hot when you OC a 3570K to 4.6 what did you expect?

I run a 2600K at 4500 and a 7970 and my system doesn't get hot at all, so you must be doing something wrong.

my broblem was fixed by running in fullscreen instead of windowedfulschreen.
