Beta performance

[Deleted]

Hey guys,

Just got into beta thanks to a good friend, but it is running rather sloppy here. It's smooth as butter until it freezes for about a second or 2. In combat, out of combat: Doesn't matter. Happens too frequently for my taste.

System:

Win7
Intel i5-760
4gig RAM
Nvidia 460 SLI

While Diablo probably does not support SLI, one 460 should still be more than enough to pull this. edit: It seems to support SLI, and I have the profile driver.

Anyone else having performance drops despite having a system that should be able to run this? Or can I attribute it to 'beta client'?

had a few issues now and then, so personally I put it down to the client.

I think it has to do with caching which doesnt work properly yet in beta and its a know issue.

easy way to check does it get better the longer you play?

Only time i had choppiness was when it wasn't fully downloaded

Let launcher download the game/patch to full. Let it install it to 100%, when it says its ready to play, start it. Problem solved

Yea its a known problem in the game, the new patch fixed a few of these issues so the game seems to run smoother, but there are still some issues they need to address. your machine should run in fine though.
