Diablo 3 lacking performance

[MuffinsOfGump]

Hey everyone, I've really been getting into Diablo 3 lately, at it's only been running at about 30-45 FPS. I looked at the minimum requirements and I seem to be well in those with 12GB of RAM, an i7-4770, and a GT 635. Anyone know anything to make it run better or should I go purchase something? Thanks everyone

That sounds about what you're going to get with a GT 635. Your system is very imbalanced for gaming, so you'll need to upgrade the video card. I would recommend the GTX 960 or 970, depending on your budget. There are also Radeon offerings, but I don't know the performance comparisons off the top of my head.

What works for a smaller form factor PC? I bought it from Staples a few months ago.

What PC is it and I'll look up the video cards that will fit it? What are you willing to spend on one?

I'd recommend the radeon r9 285 itx for small form factor

Yeah that's probably the one I'd put in there.

Hey, I was reading around to see if I could make any improvements to D3, and I read that it's a very CPU intensive game. Wouldn't my i7-4770 be good for this?

It is good for it, but the main bottleneck in games are going to be the video card.

Honestly, if you lock the game to 30fps it doesnt look that bad, I do this on my macbook air. You can also try lowering the resolution. Other than that, you will need to get a new card as mentioned above.

Alright, thanks everyone! Gonna invest in a new video card at some point.
