Ok well im currently playing diablo 3 using a HD 3850 512mb. Im currently playing on High w/ aliasing, and for the most part its fine. Though sometimes during intense battle it might get a little sluggish but still doable.
I want to upgrade my graphics card for better gameplay, but since my mobo is picky i have to pick an a better graphics card then what i have currently. I cant use any of the news ones because ive tried.
Anyways, i went to my friends house and watched him play diablo 3. His rig is somewhat similar to mine, but he has a the older phenom quad core and running HD 4870. His gameplay is wayyy smoother then mine. The texture is aboslutly smooth and no lag during intense battles as well.
Question: will a graphics card upgrade be doable for improving smoothness and gameplay? or will my dual core 6400+ windsor 3.2ghz bottle neck the performance?
