Here are the best settings for Path of Exile 2 at 1080p resolution, suitable for players with 6GB or more of VRAM on their GPU.
Path of Exile 2 is an early access ARPG that has ongoing performance issues. Based on community feedback, there are frame pacing issues on cards like the RTX 4080 and even the RX 7900 XTX. The game also suffers from inefficient multi-core utilization. High-core-count CPUs, such as the 13600K and similar ones, which primarily feature E-cores, often experience hiccups. Currently, the game does not scale well with more than six cores.Since Path of Exile 2 is quite popular, meaning many people with GPUs such as the 1660 Ti, 1650 Super, RTX 2060, and their equivalents are looking forward to playing it or have already purchased early access. Due to the current optimization issues, they may experience significant problems playing the game. That said, anyone facing issues with POE 2 at 1080p can use the settings below. For starters, these are tuned for optimal performance, particularly for mob farming on the maps (Atlas of Worlds).
Note:As of now, upscaling is mandatory in this game. Native AA is feasible, but people mainly target high FPS due to the complexity in builds and playstyles. However, you might have a build that requires less mobility. Still, farming maps will result in FPS drops, and upscaling is the only way to compensate for that. In the future, the devs might fix the performance issue, and high FPS figures may be readily attainable without upscaling.
