General Discussion - Is GGG now closely colaborating with ATI & Nvidia, for the Final release ? @Chris communicate <3 - Forum

i play with everything on max at 2560 x 1440 and love the way the game looks. I stood on tidal island once just letting a mob there punch me for ages, the shadow was drawn and animated so well, just admired the shadow boxing. In 6 man party my fps drops to 55 or so when everyone fireinng spells and minions off, but that's fine, screen is only 60 hz anyway.

Did i also mention the game caused my computer to shut down by itself pretty often ..some 5 minutes ago while doing lunaris piety my computer shuts down by itself , checked the computer its warm.. should i use a supercomputer to play a directx9 graphics game? stop being a blind fanboy POE has performance problems not only for me but for some other people out there . the need to fix this sooner or later. on a side note however devs may want to add more performance patches for us guys here in asia and some other parts in the world before adding more shinnies. i dont care that much about desyncing since i pretty much play default. but a directx9 games shouldnt cause that much lag with that setup and further more it shouldnt cause my computer to shut down pretty often So, you're complaining of PoE using your system resources too efficiently and causing heat issues on your rig? I have a 7850, and a Phenom II X4 @ 3.3Ghz, and my computer doesn't shut off randomly, and I've played at 5040x900 Eyefinity even at highest settings. Reseat your GPU heatsink, or try a cooler environment... Also, what is "warm"? My GPU gets "warm" while playing PoE, but my "warm" is like 50-60C, basically like any other game I play. Just because your computer is setup in non-ideal conditions (do you have a heater next to your computer? Are you pushing like 1.5V or something to the GPU with a passive cooler?) doesn't mean the game is unoptimized... You want to see an unoptimized game? Go play Saints Row 2 or maybe even GTA IV. Edit: Not to mention, if it was the GPU overheating, the computer shouldn't shutoff; the monitor signal should just cut because the GPU should power down. I'm betting it's your processor, but you'll have to actually go figure this out on your own (check firmware settings for a thermal limit, and check some monitoring software for temps). As for Ice Shot, can someone arrange a party (some point this hour preferably) just so I can witness this? this is rather an interesting reply no i dont place heater near to my computer my gpu heatsink has been reseated just like 2 weeks ago . i play poe in a full ac room 18 degre celcius. so apart from the lag care to explain why am i getting this shut down pretty often even with the lowest settings and one client. ive taken my computer to a shop where i first ordered this custom made . i explain the issue i have with POE and even they are unable to determine what is wrong.

Good we have some active thread about poor or no existent optimization. This whole issue should be number one priority... game could skyrocket in quality if its not feel like voluntarily torturing yourself. It's been about half year graphical coder was hired (preceding another half year of talking about hiring graphical coder) but no apparent change to optimize was done and now this subject remains silent. Now look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qg_9jtgro4 and tell me this is just not plain incompetence from GGG? I´m not asking for ninja skills like in video but at least make it normal will you people or you are not capable like fixing another core issues of your game? just FREAKING fix your freaking particles please! So did Legacy items naturally goes away as intended or they still core of standard economy 4 years later after they became "feature".

Faulty hardware or PSU not being able to deliver enough power reliably? Have you tried stress-testing your machine? I would suggest OCCT's PSU test (stresses both CPU and GPU). Another option I usually use is prime95 (CPU stress) and MSI Kombuster (GPU stress).

OCCT is free, but you can donate to it if you want to. Here's a direct-link to the latest zip archive of it: http://www.ocbase.com/download/OCCTPT4.4.0.zip Actual Download Page: http://www.ocbase.com/index.php/download Download it, extract the OCCTPT folder somewhere, go into it, and run OCCT.exe, and close the donate window that shows up (or Donate) and the license window after that. Hit the "Power Supply" tab (there's OCCT, Linpack, 3D, and then Power Supply), verify that your GPU is selected, your native resolution is selected, and check "FullScreen" and "Use all Logical Cores", then press the green "On" button. For a quick analysis, I'd probably do this when you have like 20 minutes of free time, and let the test run for that time. Ideally, the longer the test is ran, the more assurance you can have of your system being stable. If your computer shuts off at all during the stress test, then you'll just have to figure out what is causing it. OCCT can run an individual CPU or GPU stress test; run one, and observe the temperatures. If it doesn't crash, then run the other and observe temps.

It was working previously prior to an update through custom AA and SLI profiles, but now its no longer working. I disconnected my Eyefinity setup yesterday, but in the past, I did 3 monitors and had over 60 FPS most of the time without issue (didn't do 3D or SGSSAA though; I'd imagine those would tank FPS). As for why such a setup wouldn't work anymore, just to be certain, you are using the updated PathOfExile.exe executable, and not the old Client.exe (this was changed in a recent patch)?

Oh no I didn't change the executable in Nvidia Inspector, but people still confirmed that the SLI / AA compatibility bits that were working before no longer are in the update that changed the in game AA settings from 4x / 8x to medium / high. They changed something, and Nvidia Inspector no longer works I think. Will try changing the EXE file tomorrow.
