Hi everyone,
I’d like to tap into your collective knowledge regarding my PC setup for PoE 2.
I’m not entirely happy with how the game runs in the endgame. While it runs smoothly, the graphics sometimes degrade and become pixelated.
I’m satisfied with the map and game loading times.
I’m just not sure if buying "only" a different graphics card would be enough—and if so, which one offers the best price-to-performance ratio.
Just to clarify upfront: I only play PoE 1 & 2. So, the upgrade(s) would be needed solely for that purpose.
Here is my current setup:

core
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, 8x 3800Mhz

gpu
ASRock Radeon RX 6700XT Challenger Pro, 12 GB GDDR6, HDMI, 3x DisplayPort

board
GIGABYTE B550 GAMING X V2

RAM
32 GB DDR4-RAM, Dual Channel (2x 16 GB), 3600 MHz, Corsair Vengeance LPX Black

SSD / m.2 SSD
1 x 500 GB M.2 PCIe 3.0 SSD Western Digital Blue SN570
(Lesen/Schreiben: max. 3500 MB/s | 2300 MB/s)

power supply
600 Watt BoostBoxx Power Boost, 91% Effizienz, 80 Plus Gold
