Running 4pc Delsere + 6pc Tal'Rasha build w/ Time Warp/Black Hole/Mirror Images on my Wizard. Unplayable: along with enemies, this build kills my FPS entirely.

My specs:
• Motherboard Asus Sabertooth X79
• CPU Intel i7-3930K Hexacore @ 3500Mhz + NZXT Kraken X40
• RAM Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4x4GB
• GPU nVIDIA GeForce GTX670 2BGB by Gainward (w/ last drivers)
• Diablo 3 is running on a SATA 3.0 SSD by OCZ

As you can see my PC should not have any problems running Diablo 3 at full details, and that is what I am doing from day 1. Smooth, not a single FPS drop in all this time... Until I started to run Rifts and Grifts with that build.

I think the main issue here is the Mirror Images spamming too much abilities in high density zones such as Rifts/Grifts. I tried lowering my video settings, but no use: even with everything on low, no AA, no VSync, no reflections, no shadows, etc. as soon as I press Mirror Image there is a 1/1.5 sec freeze and then random FPS drops. Note that I ran Mirror Images before, in other builds, and never had this issue.

As anyone else experienced this? When I read about that build nobody mentioned this problem. I guess it is an isolated case of mine. Maybe I should try with a repair (the game's folder was moved between two HDD, maybe some files are messed up)?

Bump - there is an obvious FPS issue with mirror images and convection of the elements ring. The hardwareclass fix works, but that is not a solution for group play.

Unfortunately we can't investigate bugs from the support forum. Keep in mind this forum is aimed towards support with technical issues; installation, crashes, connection issues, performance, etc. When an issue looks like a bug from the game itself, it must be investigated by the developers.

The best thing to do is posting this information on the Bug Report Forum:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/5386229/

This way the issue will be investigated directly by the development team, since they do check that forum personally. On top of that, it's easier for them to check the impact an issue has on the community if they have all the reports on the same place, making it easier to prioritise them accordingly.

Due to the amount of reports they receive, they usually don't answer every thread there, but don't worry; they'll check the issue anyway.
