Path of Exile previews new Beta optimizations, promise increased performance
Every MMO is victim to the occasional lag spike and stutter. Every zone where there are a lot of players and models loading in, or at lot of particle effects. However, good optimization of a game can mean this stuttering is reduced - and that is what Path of Exile intends to do.
The studio behind Path of Exile took to their forums to announce new performance and optimization improvements. 3.0.0 Wave 3 Beta will feature both CPU and GPU optimizations, with being able to show thousands of skill effects per second and lowering the resolution of the particles that are being created.
Below you can catch a video demonstrating the effects in real-time. The difference between 2.6.2 and 3.0.0. is quite significant, with testing done on a GTX 1050 Ti and an Intel Core i5-6500. The resolution of the monitor wasn't specified, but the Youtube video provides a clue, featuring a 1920x1080 60FPS maximum quality setting.
