Path of Exile 2's early launch has been out for a few days, and players across the globe have been able to dig their hands into one of the most anticipated titles this year for a small price to aid the developers ahead of a full-scale launch in 2025.

PoE2 has been fairly received across the gaming community thus far with players rating it a 9/10 on Steam and a like rating of 86 percent according to Google. But how heavy are the game's graphical settings? Let's take a look.

Best PoE2 graphics settings

Although this game does pack a punch in the hardware department, the game is optimized well for most machines. This means a couple of small tweaks and you'll be cranking out consistent frames per second during all heavy stages of the game, as smaller areas with many enemies can take a hit to even some of the better gaming machines out there.
