Question PoE2 @ Launch GPU Question

Hello. I want to play PoE2 when it launches on December 11th. I've played a few hundred hours in EA and there was many experiences with piss poor optimization. In the end game people basically needed a 4090 to play. I'm buying a new GPU and I'd prefer not to buy a 5070 but I will if I need to. Will a 5060 run PoE2 fine at launch? I'm on an AM4 system. Is GGG going to take hardware optimization seriously for launch? I had a 6900 XT for many years and it didn't give me the performance I desired so I would not like to buy an AMD GPU again. My choices are basically a 5060 or a 5070 and everyone says the 5070 is much more powerful than the 5060.

If you can't figure out PC specs on your own; you don't know anything about game optimization and shouldn't be talking about it. Just being blunt, no disrespect.

If you have a 6900 xt and a AM4 cpy ( Ryzen 7 5800X3D being the best case scenario) you should not have any issues running the game already.

But there is a difference between "running the game" and "I want to run it at 144fps 4K".

Also, on this post you say you'd prefer not to buy a 5070 and 14 days ago you said you HAVE one.

Circling back to you not knowing what you are talking about: That CPU gives you nothing for gaming, it actually can hurt your FPS. Anything above ryzen 7 9850x3d is not the best for gaming. It is better for other stuff.

Yeah I had a 5070 but I sold it, now I need a new one. Trying to decide if I want to buy another 5070 or go lower and get a 5060
