*UPDATED (Potential fix discovered)* Bad FPS with AMD cards.

Well just like with GGG AMD has not gotten back to my support ticket about this. Guess I know what company I am going with next build, and it def will not be AMD

I'd like to point out lower end computers will have just as many problems with NVidia. Both companies have abmyssal support: but NVidia cards seem less prone to having issues with games. I'd consider them a better choice for gamers if you're picking inbetween the two.
A scion may be born of the rich, and as such hold more opportunity...
but a scion will never be able to appreciate the finer beauty of those less fortunate.
I use a Nvidia 670 TI and despite being a real bitch for my PC to recognize it, after that as far as running goes, it is fine. You may want to consider them instead. Honestly though, the graphics card market couldn't be more of a monopoly if you gave it a silver hat and car and made it collect $200 as it passed go. So the choice of cards is very small.

Side note: AMD seems to sponsor far, FAR less games than Nvidia. I'm honestly surprised Nvidia didn't come to PoE first as a sponsor.

This is incredible. Unbelievable. I am SO HAPPY

I think I FUCKING FIXED IT!

I am not going to post what I did until I am 100% sure this is actually what fixed it (so people do not have to install unnecessary software)

Yes, 30 FPS is GODLY for me while in this kind of combat. Not to mention it is STEADY instead of spiking up and down nonstop making it unplayable.

If anyone ever asks you what the worlds happiest POOPHAMMER looks like just show them these screens.

Sceptre of god boss room. Used to be like 10 FPS. constant 60.

Spoiler


Shrines. Shrines in the sceptre boss room, especially with these mob types (lightning trap, arctic breath), all going off at once. I used to have 5 FPS during this, game used to just lock up completely at some points. Not anymore.

Spoiler





I will update with more info as I discover it and find way to squeeze more precious frames out of this game.

If you post what it is you did you might be able to have some people tell you if that could be what it was...not me, but smart people

You're such a tease :3
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
Sorry :P don't mean to be a tease

Sometime today I will write up a detailed description of what I have done, the order I have done them in, game settings and everything. I am interested to see if this is an actual fix for the problem for everyone, or just me. Right now I am just having fun being able to play POE at a reasonable frame rate, forgive me :P

Looking forward to your write up. I've long since given up with shadows/AA if I want a somewhat stable framerate on my 7950.

Sounds good. I'll test it and give feedback.

Maybe your catalist control center settings are shit.
I have a 7950 and I have ~100 FPS sometimes dipping down to 70-90 on taxing occasions.
