Path of Exile: Unplayable 19 FPS in Endgame on RX 470 / i3-9100F (900p Lowest… (Workarounds)

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: That is textbook consumer deception, no matter how much you try to blame "bad internet.

Why it happens

The game's system requirements may be misleading, leading to performance issues on hardware that exceeds the minimum specifications.

How to fix it

  1. Try reducing graphics settings to the lowest possible, such as 900p, to see if it improves performance.
  2. Since the issue persists even at low settings, consider that the game may not be optimized for certain hardware configurations.

If it still doesn't work

  • The game's performance may be affected by the CPU and GPU combination, with some players experiencing better performance with more powerful hardware.
  • Comparing hardware specifications with others may not be helpful, as different configurations can produce varying results.
  • There is no confirmed fix for the low FPS issue, and players may need to wait for potential updates or patches to address performance problems.

What players reported

I am completely outraged by the technical state of this game. I recently supported the developer and bought a Support Pack for 1125 UAH, only to find out that the game is completely unplayable once you reach the actual endgame. My PC specs: Intel Core i3-9100F, Radeon RX 470 4GB, 16 GB DDR4, and the game is installed on a clean SSD. This setup drastically exceeds the official "Minimum" hardware…

What players suggest

Simon, are you seriously claiming that your setup with an Intel Core i7 and an RTX 3080 is "less capable" than my i3-9100F and RX 470? That is an absolute tech-literacy disaster. My GPU was released in 2016 and has 4GB of VRAM. Your RTX 3080 is roughly 4 to 5 times more powerful and operates on a completely different generation of architecture. Claiming you have "worse hardware" while smoothly…

Angry Crocodile

Comparing a 2019 Core i3-9100F and a 256-bit RX 470 to hardware from 2008 is an absolute, undeniable delusion. In 2008, the top-tier GPU was the GeForce GTX 280 which doesn't even support DirectX 11, and CPUs were Core 2 Quad. My setup is generations ahead of that era, and you are living in a completely fictional tech reality. You keep repeating "your computer is too weak for endgame" like a…

Angry Crocodile

your computer compares unfavorably to the Xeon 5690 released in 2011 running on the x299 chipset. You have half as many RAM channels and a third as many threads. You only have a quad-core CPU that doesn't support multithreading an i3 is the bottom of the barrel of intel processors, the lowest bin. Those are the CPUs that come off the manufacturing line too broken to be an i5 or an i7 or an i9…
