I need a cpu upgrade.

Other than that I run the game fine. SSD not required as much as you think. And I certainly aint gonna buy one for one game.

engine died one month before 3.3

load times do NOT matter if the engine is this far up the creek. btw, a HDD is PERFECTLY fine for EVERY. SINGLE. GAME.

used to have huge performance issues on my shitty laptop but i eventually bought a decent-ish one which fixed all my problems. gtx960 and ssd. maybe you should get a ssd, also i think radeon sucks for poe if you do use one

ssd btw


this is the correct answer

This

tl;dr of my poe history :

1- had shitty pc, died all the time due to lag spikes
2- bought new pc (ssd but radeon)
3- loading times are now a joke but lag spikes still happen (up to literally random graphic fuck-ups)
4- played poe a bit but eventually got pissed off by the bugs
5- I'm not putting more money on a fucking computer, I go catch some fresh air instead

depends on which game, some games have horrendous loading time without SSD like Fallout 4.

get a better CPU+GPU+SSD

or change game


Ssd> Gpu>Cpu

Other way around in terms of best performance.

SSD is single largest upgrade for me in terms of performance.
