Would you play PoE if the game looked like this? (PIC)

i've put all setting on low + 640x400 res(poe options) is there any way to lower even more on windows 7 somewhere?

i got integrated intel HD. Cpu is good. But bad graphics + broken cooling system is bad. Can't party :D

Alright, this one might be tricky. One of the most important steps to get FPS with a card not meant for gaming is Overclocking it. I heard that integrated cards like the intel HD series can't be overclocked (Not 100% sure, what model do you have?).

What you can do meanwhile is

1) Set your native resolution to 800x600(of windows not the game)
2) Set the game with everything at its lowest(Shadows, texture, vsync off, etc, etc)
3) Put it on "Windowed" with 800x600 resolution.
4) Now here is the importat part: once the window of the PoE client is showing on your screen double click the top bar of the window (so that it fills the background)

Now I use GameBooster, I doubt it really helps much with FPS, but It does closes processes and stuff.

Also with Nvidia cards you can get into the settings and turn everything to the lowest. I'm no sure how that works for Intel HD cards, do you have a settings panel anywhere?

But yeah what ensures you to get the most FPS is overclocking your card then messing with the resolutions/game settings and finally tweaking your card to set antialiasing, etc to the lowest. Then comes the operating system tweaks that might help but probably not, gamebooster, turning your windows 7 with everything off (when it looks like windows 98)

Once it to 800x600 windowed, and try to double click it, it changes to slightly smaller res. I can't get rid of the window bar. I put taskbar on auto hid but it didn't help. So, in the end it does not stay at 800x600 . hmm . the fps are around 20 to 30.

how do u have that much fps on a cheap video card mine i think is more and i get 30-40fps while not in combat in combat i get 15-25fps when i use skills. can u tell me what u did cuz i did everything i can and its on low settings and 800x640 rez

I spent like 3 days before OB researching and did everything I could to raise those frames. I'm currently getting 80fps in the beginning of act 2 and as low as 40fps when battling. Might write a guide soon. For know if you are serious about getting them FPS and completely disregard graphics, you can set your OS to 800x600 then open the game and put it on 800x600(Windowed) and it will get to about 640x417(Custom) that will really help. I that didn't raise it to decent FPS then do some research about "Over Clocking your GPU"(Just so you know you can fry your card doing this). Good luck bro.

Getting almost 100 while walking around without moobs


Getting at around 30 FPS with le monkeys and some "heavy" effects(i think my software to capture the screen slightly decreases the FPS)


Anything above 25fps is very playable IMO

LMAO.

Couldn't do it.

LOL that price I have to pay to play an awesome game. Sucks that I won't have money for a card until next year. I will probably end up frying this card in a month or two. Oh well, I better keep playing.

I have a hard time reading the chat though.
