Hi Guys,

8 days ago I made this post asking about optimization:
https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/z2bxv1/hows_optimization/

I managed to upgrade my GPU from an RX 580 to an RX 6700 XT. I am playing in 1080p. My new GPU crushes games I previously had bad frames on.

I'm sad to report that optimization on my new card is as bad as ever; the upgrade did not help. In some areas I am getting 30 more frames, but I get 30 - 50 fps in 'The Ruins of Welryn Ruined Era - 1290 AG'; the exact stage I was getting ridiculous dips on my low card.

Why am I posting this? Well, luckily I bought my GPU for D4, but if I had upgraded just to play Last Epoch I would have burned over 400 USD.

This game is the worst optimized game I have played in a long while (even Tarkov was not this bad).

The game is currently CPU bound so upgrading your video card rarely has much of an impact on performance. Enabling streamer mode, even if you're not streaming will likely have a decent impact.

As a reference, I'm running a GTX 1080Ti on medium high settings at 1440 while streaming and it's butter smooth.

Major performance updates have been done and we had hoped to have those out already. They are bundled in with 0.9 and will be coming out March 9th.
