anyone in the beta? I'm having issues that maybe someone here might have some insight on.




Sorry for the quality, I couldn't find my fraps installer so I just used my cell phone...I know I know, shh. Watch in 720, it's bearable onder:

Specs:
9800GTX
Q6600 @ 2.8ghz
8GB DDR2800
7200RPM WD HDD
Win7 Pro x64

Settings in D3:
Full Screen (or Full Screen Windowed, as shown in the video)
1680x1050
No Vsync
Texture quality LOW
Shadow quality OFF
Physics LOW
Clutter Density LOW
no AA
Low FX box checked

If I put all settings on high, there is no difference (except for a little extra lag sometimes, but not comparable to what is shown above)

You think it's my card or my processor? I have the performance monitor open in the task manager and the processor never goes above 70%, I downloaded the nvidia system monitor or whatever it's called and while it doesn't update while I'm in-game, if I alt tab, it's usually sitting around 95%+ for a second, then goes down to 0-1% after the game is minimized.

I dont see anything as far as a link or video, did you link it wrong? So im not sure what your issue is.

Anyways your video card is ancient. I know a 9800gtx cant run much on high settings anymore because I use to own the same card.
What are your issues?

Can't say I'm too excited. Yea, I invested many joyous hours of my life on Diablo 1 & 2 back in the day, but this game already looks like it came out 5 years ago and is currently available in the bargain bin for 10 bucks. They took WAY too long to get it to market. I don't think I'm gonna buy it.

You'll cave Blizzard North is dead and gone but I think this game will hold up well to the series. I can't wait!

I wish the servers were up right now for the beta, patch 15 just went out and they're scheduled to be down till midnight CST

I really enjoyed D2 especially since one of my sons and my daughter played it with me. I have played on the Beta once and though it looks a little better than D2 I do not think it will take me away from playing SWTOR.

I will probably buy it because it is made by Blizzard, level one character to cap and then put it aside until a better ScFi MMO comes out. WoW ruined all other PC games for me and now it is hard for me to play anything that is not an MMO. Though since my daughter and son plan on playing D3 I will probably play when they do, but I am not really that excited about it.

I played WoW for 6 years but I thought SWTOR was pretty terrible. D3 isn't meant to compete with those types of games.

I agree that D3 is different genre of game. I was simply referring to my gaming time available. Actually I am getting somewhat bored with SWTOR, especially since the capped level is not near the amount of fun you have as you do in WoW! The devs really need to work on that. I am thinking about playing Starcraft2 as my stepson really enjoys it and I did back in the day...
