I already bought the game but unfortunately there are no graphic cards on the market to upgrade my PC according to the game recomended system requirements (GTX 1060 / GTX 1650 super / RX 5500 XT). My R9 270 OC run it about 30-50 fps on 1080p low settings (my CPU is FX 6300 / i3-4150).
As I saw, the game does not have options to reduce shader level (like in StarCraft 2) and to disable real-time lightning (like in StarCraft: Remastered). Put such options in the final game when it is launched in order to optimize it for more PCs until there are graphic cards on the market, please!
I rather play with the old graphics, which I think are better in terms of inventory and items. But sadly they not allowing for higher resolution giving the updated graphics version a huge advantage.
Guys, If you really can’t play the game and there is no option to upgrade, you can buy a Nintendo switch for pretty cheap and play it even on the go, just an option if you are thinking you wont be able to upgrade for a while
other then that, if you don’t have a real potato as a PC you will probably be able to run it somehow
Remember people it was a technical alpha without the optimization we would expect when the game releases.
OP if you live in the US try to look around for good deals on prebuilt systems, often they can be had for around $1200-1500 and come configuired with decent hardware. Of course times are brutal in regards to pricing, but for about 1400 you could get a Lenovo Legion system with 16gb ddr4, gtx 1660 Super, Ryzen 7 3700x and a tb SSD/HDD combo which would blow your current system out of the water in 1080p.
Yeah just play Diablo II Classic then, Or do what I did and buy a laptop that looks good to you until they do make new and better cards available, My laptop PC configuration is more than adequate to play the game, So take a page from my book or wait, Lenovo Legion 5 Gaming Laptop, 15.6" FHD (1920x1080) IPS Screen, AMD Ryzen 7 4800H Processor, 16GB DDR4, 512GB SSD, NVIDIA GTX 1660Ti, Windows 10
More optimisations and lower graphic options, please
It will happen. Wait for the beta and then the official release. So far there was just an alpha. During the D3 beta, the fans were roaring, even though my graphic card at the time was high end and brand new… can’t imagine what was like for those with older hardware.
ATM I am still playing with R9 380, but I’ll try to get myself an upgrade prior to release.
In fact better graphics and optimizations is what everyone claims they wanted in the game (not QOL MODs) and now your saying back off of that because your PC isn’t up to that?
Both are still guilty not enough stuff or bitcoin. Since China and Musk said bitcoins are bad, it would be finally a little better to get GPU for gamers. I’m happy my 1080ti can still hold PS5/X tiers games.
I just said they are both good reasons or be " guilty " but we agree together, it’s the same. I’m sorry if you don’t understand english is not my first language.
I think Blizzard needs to make a ‘core’ or ‘lite’ installation of D2:R without the graphics pack, which can be downloaded at a later time. That way those that don’t have a powerful GPU can play the game like they have been with the original. Then whenever this GPU shortage, scalping, price gouging ‘era’ ends, those that want the enhanced graphics can get them.
I’m excited about the enhanced visuals, but honestly I’m more excited about the under-the-hood updates to the game. I would still play with OG graphics quality and be content. Playing the game for the past 20 years probably has something to do with that.
Yeah, D2:R shouldn’t force fuel the global GPU demand.
A big problem with D2:R is there are still potentially a large audience that play the original game just fine who have older systems that wouldn’t be able to play D2:R without spending a huge sum of money to play on PC. Sure they could get it on console, bleh.
I work in IT, and it really sucks when someone wants to purchase a gaming system and I have to tell them I can’t help them. I hope this crypto fad dies off. Biggest ponzi-like scheme I’ve ever seen.
I’m glad I still have a 1080Ti FE that I have not overclocked. The only thing I’ve done is ramp up the fan curve to keep its load temp at or under 75c. I haven’t yet moved beyond 1080 screens. The card still runs games great. But on the other hand, I’d like to be able to play it on my laptop that only has Intel UHD graphics, yeah I’d definitely opt for the ‘lite’ install on it.
