So im guessing my video card is a lil slow? When im playing the beta and click on a monster to use a skill, the gameplay slows up like lag. Example..if im playing the barb and click on a zombie to swing..it swings a littler slower and laggy But if i hold shift and attack and dont have my mouse hovered over any monsters...its fine. Id rather NOT have to hold shift just to attack..i barely ever did that in d2 all the years ive played. Any suggestions or is this normal?
The little halo that draws around monsters takes some GPU power to draw. I lose 3-4 FPS just hovering over a mosnter or NPC. If you're already on the edge of playable performance (20 FPS or so), the halo effect could put you under the minimum FPS, causing the whole game to slow down.
I recommend lowering your quality levels (shadows and resolution especially) to see if the situation improves. The new patch allows you to hit Control+R to see your FPS in-game. (I had been using FRAPS up to this point). Try to get it to at least 30 FPS.
If no amount of tweaking gives you 30+ FPS, you'll probably need a new computer.
