Thanks for the reply. I'm actually thinking of just getting the Nvidia GTX 570 instead of waiting for the 670/670 Ti. Is anyone running a 570 in the beta? How does it perform? Can you play at max settings without lag? Thanks.
UPDATE:
I have been playing the public beta with my 6600gt and crappy computer and to my surprise, it actually runs! I have to play on extremely low resolution, 1024x768, and with everything on the lowest possible settings. I also get bouts of lag when engaging a big mob group, but its enough to get me through the beta relatively OK.
At this point, i'm thinking a 570 is WAYYYYYY overkill. I will probably save myself 100$ and go for a 560...i have no doubt a 560 will max this game out. Hell, the 560 may even be way overkill.
I'm new to the forums here but I have been using this site very very often over the past 6 months or so. I am planning on buying a new computer very soon....waiting for the new Ivy Bridge i7 processors and Kepler chips from Nvidia. My problem is I'm not sure when those parts will become available for purchase. Since I absolutely must have D3 as soon as it launches, I want to know if my current Pc wil be able to at least run the game if I have to wait a week or two before my new PC is built. My current pc has:
I was able to run WoW and SC2 at reasonable settings way back when I played both those games. Does anyone have experience with Diablo 3 with something close to these specs? Thanks, I appreciate the help.
