On a NVIDIA RTX 4070 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Path of Exile 2 runs at roughly 98 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 98FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 4070 (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 great at 1080p — about 98 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 98 FPS at 1080p and 80 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 98 | 98 |
| 1440p | 59 | 80 |
| 4K | 33 | 61 |
