We need some REAL solutions for all the ingame stuttering problems (and yes.. it IS a software problem!). For example, I've exchanged my ATI radeon 4890 with an ATI radeon 6950 (which should be faster in any sense of the way), but ingame I experience MORE stuttering and 'loading' moments when encountering new creatures or events.. its ridiculous!! And i'm not the only player with a pretty decent gaming pc who has these problems.
Also, the lag on the Europa server is horrible, I have a fast internet connection and ping about 180-200 ms average.. never had this in my entire life in any other game!
Edit:
Also, for the ati users, the 12.3 catalyst drivers seem to be less affected with the stuttering problems compared to the latest 12.4 drivers.
Did you try turning vsync ON in the options? When I have it off (which I never do in any game) I get crazy stuttering/screen tearing. With vsync on the game is smooth as silk @ 60 FPS no matter how many blizzards I spam on the screen and amount of mobs.
My PC has a 6+ years old Intel CPU, 3GB of RAM and my GPU is NVidia 460.
I am able to run Diablo 3 at medium/high settings without any issues.
A friend of mine has a 2010/11 PC with an AMD CPU and GPU - and he is having a lot of issues like stuttering.
To me this looks like a problem with AMD components, which is very common these days (battlefield, skyrim etc...).
Although AMD is known for having very bad software/drivers, perhaps you will find a solution on their website.
Well i have:
NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT 1gb,
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz (2 CPUs),
Memory: 3584MB RAM (4k in vista or 7)
Why the hell do i have 25 FPS max with all on min and 15 with all on max?

For those with ATI cards, I will say this: I have a Radeon HD 6670, and when I updated to the 12.x drivers, I went from stable, to having blue screens (only like once every 2-3 days, but it was always a graphic driver failure).
I rolled back to 11.8 (which was my previous driver update), and I have had no graphical issues, or blue screens, anywhere, since then.
Alot of complaints exist on the web of the 12.x drivers being horribly unstable, regardless of which video card you got with ATI.
You are very much correct in your statement that this was a deliberate design choice, Caelestis. We did not want to have the Diablo II scenario where people just stared at a dot on a map to guide themselves through an area. We made the map full screen, completely opaque and prevented commands from being sent while it is open to stop this from occurring. We also like the concept that your character has to take a few moments and stop so that they can get their bearings
Yeah I mean most of us have beaten the game already so why do we have to be forced to look at the art all the time? We've seen it and now there's no good reason to restrict us. Unlock it for your account after beating normal with one character.

And I have stuttering, I have strong lags with 40+ mobs on screen (especially in a3), I have no clue what the hell did D3 coding team do wrong to make it SUCH a obvious problem.

I wouldn't say that's high, you skimped on the mid range CPU. I would sort out your shitty ATI drivers and see if it starts working better. Goto 3dguru.com and there are some new beta drivers on the website. Do a clean driver install (Uninstall your dirvers, clean the rementants out with driversweeper or something and reinstall). It's quite clear that everyone compaining here is using an ATI card (Short of that guy using an 8 series GT... Which is dated as hell) while everyone with nVidia cards are working fine, myself included (Even SLI is working fine).

Are you serious about CPU? This is the highest-end non-HT processor. A kindergartner knows that HT is totally useless in games, and the only real thing that matters is CPU cache and clock. i5 2x00K series (not including 2600 and 2700 which are obviously worse than 2500k) have insane overclocking ability and can achieve insane clock without any trouble, making it the best possible pre-ivy processor.
I agree that it appears to be an ATI driver issue instead of a software issue for Bliz. I experience absolutely no fps lag or tearing (just the rare server lag in the US).

Has anyone else had the problem where the patch is applied when they start Diablo 3, they go to log into the game and it tells you that a new patch is available, and the game will restart and apply the patch automatically, then just tells you "Diablo 3 is already running"?
yah keep nerfing the monk blizzard you stupid shits , hey lets nerf the most underpowered class into the ground and take away his only utility instead of fixing our non working/functioning game

Don't even try peeps? Really? Antivirus software is for the most part complete $h1t. Nothing but a system resource hog. Try uninstalling it and then giving the game another go. If you think antivirus software will help you then you are a fool. Anyone with basic common sense about the way the internet works doesn't need such crap on their PCs. Just MHO.
I bet you would visit Africa without getting any immunization shots.
No antivirus software is perfect. There are hogs, there are crap detectors - but the number one issue with any antivirus is the end user. Many people do not understand the difference between passive and active protection, or that those terms even exist. Antivirus software is only as good as the user that remembers to regularly apply updates and regularly scan their computer.
If anyone is looking for free antivirus software, try Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and/or Spybot: Search & Destroy. They are not resource hogs and are pretty good at catching things. If you are willing to pay for a subscription-based antivirus, ESET NOD (No Open Door) 32 is currently the best on the market.
If your operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 3 or newer, download and install Microsoft Security Essentials. It's fairly good, too.
The biggest lesson to remember, though, is no one is immune. Just using common sense is not enough because you cannot control the environment that you surf in. Anecdote: My brother is co-owner of a computer and electronic devices repair shop. He is brilliant (and I am not saying this because I am related to him) at it. He still caught a nasty infection because the website he visited had been compromised.
wtf is this shit, where is the wizz shield nerf and the barb buff?
Barbs dont need no buffs, get the gear and you have a sickly overpowered character that can faceroll inferno without much of a problem at all.
It is all in the gear and how extremely well that gear scales for the barbarians. I have seen both types of barbs those that gear correctly and breeze thru inferno without any major problems and those that refuse to use the proper tool for the job and instead goes on the forums and cry that they cant just faceroll it with pure dps stats and a 550 dps 2h.
If you could faceroll it with that last gear it would be TOO EASY and destroy the intent of Inferno.
Glad to see they didnt touch inferno difficulty since it is fine the way it is. And barbs cry less and pew pew more in the correct gear ( hint 2 h with 2500 str and 22k hp isnt going to cut it, You dont have a pocket healer like in wow so you gotta play smart and you can beat the game as well.
