Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon R9 280.
Storage: Solid-state drive with 90GB available space.
I have an i5 9400F CPU (I think is part of the issue)
I upgraded to 24 GB ram sticks (8 and 16)
SSD is around 90 gb free space
my geforce is GTX 1650
What typically happens (all settings are on low visually) is the game will run choppy when changing areas, meeting with high affix mobs and/or many mobs, etc. I will get to 100% cpu usage and game will stutter. This is NOT lag related as my internet is not having issues (thankfully) and I run on ethernet.
I’m going to grab more info later but any ideas on what I could maybe do? I’m likely getting a new CPU (using pcparkpicker to verify compatibility with motherboard mode)
Ah yes, it could possibly not be D4, nope, definetly is not using 60%, at minimum, of a i9 9900k on lowest settings with 160fps while in town. It must be that 5% from the rest of the pc programs.
Turning off hardware acceleration changes it to software, meaning from the gpu to the cpu, the opposite of what you want if you cpu bottleneck.
Always nice to get confirmed that asking on reddit is better then official support forums.

What texture settings are you using, I believe like me you have 4Gb VRAM I used medium textures your card might not have enough VRAM if you’ve set it higher and may be moving stuff in and out of VRAM as a result.
I don’t know that processor I’m afraid. But looking it up in comparison to the minimum spec CPU it’s better on pretty much all metrics according to a benchmark comparison
Your RAM amount is fine as long as you have those sticks paired correctly.
What type of SSD do you have the game on the patched for some high performance SSD devices having stutter issues.
What settings do you use?
P.S. also set max FPS to either 60 or 120, personally I’ve set mine to 60 it actually worked fine on my GTX 970 with out this but the fans are certainly less crazy this way and given the refresh rate of my monitor all it was doing for me at higher frame rates was burning more energy and making more heat.
