The only thing that helped (but greatly), was installing the game on a 6GB/s SSD.
It's like night and day. It doesn't increase your FPS, but it removes the loading lag when entering a new zone/enemy/effects entirely.
Oh man ever since I got my SSD last year, I haven't looked back. Having a 15 second startup time from dead on your computer, and split second loading times is ridiculous.
Anyone thinking of picking up a Gsync monitor once those become available? I realize D3 isn't like CoD, but from everything I've read it makes everything so buttery smooth that it's just like an SSD; You'll question how you were able to function without it lol.
Your ram is slightly low, I'd recommend at least 6 but preferably 8 ( of DDR3 ). Windows 7 is fine, and while your processor is dated, if it's between that and a new graphics card, I'd get a new card.
diablo 3 takes only 800MB memory i dont think higher RAM makes difference
(strangely PTR takes 1.6 GB considering that its only patch its big difference)
I bought new graphic cardR9 270 upgrade fromGT9600 (6years old) (roughly 8x score in benchmarks).
I get no FPS difference in game. Processor runs on 30%. Graphic card runs on 30% and my fps drops sub 10 very often.
Can play on max/min details with no difference in FPS.
Optimisation of this game is horrible
spend days trying to solve it but got nothing, together with countless ppl on forums
Well not to derail this thread, but the reason that I suggested more ram is because the computer isn't just running D3, it's also running the OS as well as any other background programs. The OS it'self can take 1-2 gigs, if not more, which means bottle necking can be a problem with his setup.
Whelp, just wrote an entire paragraph only to remember my reading skills are lacking, and that you're using a laptop, not a desktop D=

Personally, and I realize this probably won't help you, but I'd invest in a desktop. Laptops that can run games at max, even D3, are pretty spendy, and it's also easier to upgrade a desktop. But don't go and buy a pre made one, buy the parts yourself from either Tigerdirect.com or Newegg.com. It's cheaper, you get exactly what you want, AND it's super easy to put together =D
