I use to have a Sapphire HD 7850 which had no trouble running Diablo 3 at full graphics, hell I could run any game I had at full graphics, and this was earlier 2013. Due to a static shock, I accidentally killed my GPU, decided to upgrade a bit and got the Sapphire HD 7950.
For a while it was running perfectly, even ran Crysis 2 at the highest graphics with no issue.
In the past week however I realized I can't have Diablo 3 set at full graphics anymore without some lag, right now everything is set at high/medium and occasionally if there is a lot going on it'll lag a bit.
At first I thought it was because I was running an i5-3470 and that maybe I was killing it doing what I was doing, so I decided to run hardware monitors on one screen and diablo 3 on the other. Turns out it was my video card that is having trouble performing.
Anyone have any idea why it's running like this? The only think really overclocked at all is my CPU which is only at 3.8ghz. Below is a link of a screen shot of the monitors at game.
