Constant Framerate drops(1)Category: Technical SupportAugust-8-2013 3:00 AM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hi people!

I recently returned to playing Diablo 3 and I was immediately reminded of one "bug" that I find very very very annoying.

Ever since I've played D3 I had framerate drops, especially in Act2 Sewers. But since my return to the game it is happening in other areas as well (e.g. Act1 Prison, Act3 on the Walls).

I've tried many many many socalled fixes that roam the internet without any success. Additionally to the framedrops those fixes have caused another bug: whatever my settings (ingame or nvidia system panel) I have Adaptive V-Sync on ALWAYS ! And to be honest: I hate adaptive V-Sync.

Is there any other solution that is hard to come by to get the game running smooth at 60fps as it should or has there been any statement of blizzard so far that they're working on the issue?

Here are my system specs:
CPU: i7 2600k (stock speed)
GPU: Palit GeForce 460GTX
MB: Intel DZ68DB
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) Kingston Ram @ 1600MHz
System SSD: Adata 64GB
Games SSD: OCZ Vertex 4 128GB
OS: Windows 8 Pro x64
Drivers: All up2date (e.g. nVidia Driver: 320.49)

Here are my "standard" settings for D3:
Fullscreen Mode
Res: 1920x1080
Letterbox = 0
VSync = 1 (as I said I hate ADAPTIVE Vsync, but I cannot play without Vsync, my eyes would hurt too much)
Max FPS (forground and background) disabled
Texture Qual: High
Shadows: Off
Physics: Low
Clutter: Off
Antialiasing = 0
Low FX = 1

My system should run the game without any problem, but the framerate drops are really really really annoying and I hope that there will be a working fix soon. The game has been released over a year ago and as far as i can tell alot of people have that issue.

Well, thanks alot :)

Hello,

Would it be possible to try an earlier driver version? We're seeing a couple of issues with the latest release:
