Best Path of Exile 2 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti (laptop, 8GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Path of Exile 2 runs at roughly 86 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 86FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Path of Exile 2 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 86 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 86 FPS at 1080p and 70 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
