Hey all, for the most part D3 runs perfect on my vaio laptop. The only issue i have is slowdown when a large amount of enemies are on screen in a full coop game, then the slowdown subsides once they all die. My system specs are all above recommended except for my graphics card which is an nvidia geforce 330m. My question is, is the slowdown related to my graphics card or another aspect of my pc.
You can't upgrade the graphics card in a laptop, unfortunately. You either have to lower the quality / resolution until it's acceptably fast, or get a new system.

That's COMPLETELY not true. You definitely can upgrade a laptop's video card, it's just kinda hard.
You can look around online for a guide on how-to, and assess for yourself if it's within your abilities to change your video card.
i have a vaio E series laptop, 1.7gh (sony douchebags masterlock the BIOS, i cant overclock in any way (fml)) quad core, 4gigs of ram, video is apparently ati radeon 5000 series, i can play mass effect 2 on medium-low settings at 30 fps, i can play minecraft at 50fps, i can play WoW at 60fps smoothly. i just turned the beta on for the first time, it runs like shit, im getting 5 fps, any idea why? very disappointing

Try lowest settings? Reduce resolution and other variables. If fps improves, its very likely hardware.
