Can you run Path of Exile 2? PC requirements and settings
Path of Exile 2, by Grinding Gear Games (Action, Adventure, Massively Multiplayer, RPG), came out on Steam on December 6, 2024.
Here are the official specs, and what they mean on the most common graphics cards.
Publisher's recommended cardNVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, Intel Arc A770, or ATI Radeon RX 5600XT
Minimum cardNVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 (3GB), Intel Arc A380, or ATI Radeon RX 470
Recommended RAM16 GB
Our conservative estimate60 fps at 1080p, high settings, with a GeForce RTX 3060
Estimate per graphics card
Which settings to aim for with your card
For each card: the highest settings level that stays smooth, and the expected frame-rate
range. This is a conservative estimate worked out from the publisher's recommended specs, not a
measurement: your processor, drivers and game updates move it.
Without DLSS, FSR or frame generation: turning them on raises the frame rate noticeably
when the game offers them.
Best settings
Best graphics settings for Path of Exile 2 by graphics card
The setting ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick to play at 60 frames per second: the
best-looking detail level that stays smooth, with upscaling when it lets you go one step up (DLSS
on GeForce RTX, XeSS on Intel Arc, FSR on other cards). If Path of Exile 2 doesn't offer it, use the
level from the previous table.

| GeForce RTX 4060 | High64–88 fps | High + DLSS Quality55–76 fps |
| Radeon RX 7600 | High62–86 fps | High + FSR Balanced60–82 fps |

| Radeon RX 6600 | High + FSR Quality68–94 fps | Medium + FSR Quality58–79 fps |
| GeForce GTX 1660 Super | Medium + FSR Quality62–85 fps | Low + FSR Balanced60–82 fps |
At these levels, ORION keeps textures on high from 8 GB of video memory (they cost memory,
hardly any frames), sets the frame cap on the target for steady pacing, turns off motion blur and
film grain, and leaves vertical sync off. This is a conservative estimate, not a measurement: in
ORION, the first measured session corrects the setting.

How are these estimates worked out?
The publisher's
recommended specs are the reference point (about 60 frames per second at 1080p on high
settings, unless the publisher says otherwise). Each card's power is compared with the
recommended card (the average when the publisher names several), then adjusted to the screen
resolution. A low margin is kept, and less video memory than recommended drops one level.
