Hi guys,

I've been getting poor performance in Diablo III for as long as I can remember and I just want to know if it's me, or the game.

My issue is I get very sporadic fps, it will jump around constantly and plummet when I pull a "large" pack. I will go from 60fps to 30/40fps and the game will noticeably chug and become choppy. This usually occurs during multiplayer games, if I'm playing solo I generally don't drop a frame. I know more people = more strain but with my hardware I don't think I should be dropping to 30fps in combat.

I have tried reformatting with the latest drivers, reinstalling the game, playing with the lowest graphical settings etc and noting has helped.

My question is, do any of you maintain a solid 60fps at 1080p in public games? Is it possible? If I know the game is just poorly optimized I can stop stressing. Please post your specs and whether you get the same fps drops during 4 player multiplayer.

PS: My benchmarks seem fine

the only issue i had with diablo was after starting the game, once i get into my game its generally laggy for the first few packs then it seems to settle down.

Once im in and playing i have very few issues however it always seems to have that problem loading the textures etc on the first time i load in
 
Diablo 3 runs smooth on my rig after initially loading, a few stats every now again but nothing you would notice unless you are looking out for it. Only thing I change is to disable vysnc in game and enable adaptive within the NVidia control panel.

If you are only getting it when playing multiplayer it's most likely a latency issue and nothing to be concerned with.
 
Users/Documents/Diablo III go into the D3Prefs and change these to the following numbers.

DisableTrilinearFiltering “1”

HardwareClass "2" or 1

Also installing D3 onto an SSD or USB flash drive can remove that initial laggy stuttering when you first boot up and turn off MaxBackgroundFPS in the D3 settings aswell. There are some other things you can do but that should make it playable.

It's not a latency issue, my ms is around 30. As I said my fps drops from 60 to 30/40 during large packs.

I actually disabled TF yesterday and it did help a bit. The game is already installed on my Crucial M4 SSD. I'm not getting the asset loading stutter, I'm getting large drops in fps during big packs.

I found if I wasn't playing on my ssd it was unplayable with the amount of lag.

That's due to asset loading, that's not the issue I have.
 
Try these settings.

It sounds like vsync is cutting your frames back, try turning it off.

I tried turning vsync off in-game but the tearing was just awful and unplayable. I then tried turning it off in-game but forcing it in the Nvidia CP and you know what? It's definitely smoother in general. I still drop in big packs (like 100+ mobs in the Crypts), but the game doesn't hickup on smaller packs any more. I also set the foreground FPS to 61 so it sticks at 60fps.
