I just watched the latest video of his G-Rift 58 clear on his monk and I couldn't help but notice how he has absolutely ZERO video or network lag. His game appears so ludacrisly smooth it doesn't even seem possible. I run a very high end PC and my game lags, jitters, and freezes all the time, especially during fights where there is a lot of things happening on the same screen. Are there some kinds of tweaks that I'm not aware of to get your game that smooth? I'd be really interested to know.
a comment on his vid states he plays on expert (which is irrelevant since GR levels aren't depending on your difficulty), I'll be trying that for sure.

Here my specs.
Only on few patches and multiplayer games was a fps drops, now everything is okey
Ofc my internet provider not the best bandwith: 100mbps. but recording HD + gaming solo always smooth. On mutiplayer games if there is huge density and a lot projectiles, but only for short period fps drop down.
Vertical sync also can call some fps drops, because when i view leaderboards in game it drops to 14 fps for 30-60sec + idk why if not vertical sync on everithing just fine.
Aside from my graphics card my hardware is from around 2010~ and I very rarely get frame drops. I used to get frame drops and mini freezes all the time, but adjusting the sound quality of all things is what fixed that for me.
I follow his stream on and off (I'm a Kiwi as well) and I did hear him mention once that he keeps a lot of his graphics settings on the lower side. That of course does nothing to explian network based lag, however given he streams from New Zealand maybe it also has something to do with the time of day he is streaming and the servers he is connecting to. Just speculating..
Jayce, if you think you have an internal issue with you hardware, you might want to look at your sound settings. Try lowering your settings to 32. See if that helps. That setting is how many sounds game will play over your speaker. So if you are in a big battle every monster and weapon will make a separate noise. If you are using on-board sound, this may be pushing the load to your CPU. Lowering the number can take some load off the CPU. Solutions to this are to add a Sound Card or just leave the sound settings at the lower level.
Internet connection is crucial too here. And you might have 99999 MB download speed but only 2 mb upload, then you wonder why your games stutter.
This is something that most internet providers tend to omit in the contract , they buff up the DLD speed to impressive numbers , but your upload is shiet.
Try some net speed testing sites and check out your upload speed too.
Not to mention that it doesn't matter how fast your internet connection is, if it's not perfectly stable. Get a little packet loss and you're going to get a skip or a jitter, even if the packets that don't get lost are flying up and down at 99999 MB per second.
Remember that Quin has a good computer, a good router, AND he records his videos very close to one of Blizzard's server location. That means he doesn't have any chance of lag. The perfect setup.
Oh, he also never is on general chats or any of that mess.

I found installing the game on to my SSD helped a lot
when it was on my HDD playing 1440p load times were spastic and I'd have periodic 'freezes' in game which were so annoying
the only problem I still have with the SSD is.. RAKKIS CROSSING. That map is just unplayable. Like a slide show! No idea why, everything else maxed in 1440p is fine but that fuckin bridge breaks me
