Re: Diablo 3 and M14x...
Okay so i finally found this forum and im hoping you guys can help me out.
Recently i've noticed a drop in the performance of basically all games i had, wow was still fine, but now i got D3 and its honestly unbearable at some points
GIANT jumps in fps, extremely slow movement at times, it seems i can only play it decently with everything on low and Lower resolution, while all i hear is everyone elses doing fantastic!
Some help would ba amazing, thank you!
(Ive tried updating drivers, making sure D3 was using the right card.
etc etc.

Re: Diablo 3 and M14x...
just wondering what is the optimal video settings for my i5 M14x for playing D3. Right now I'm 1280x720 resolution and runs fine but I want to get the most frames and look decent enough while playing. Thanks

Re: Diablo 3 and M14x...
Post your specs mate... We'll see if we can help...
Don't feel bad... Im running D3 on an R2 and I still haven't seen 100fps (I could if I remove shadows, AA, and other lil things) But my point is... I won't O/C my R2 and put it through unnecessary stress just to get a a jump from 60 to maybe 75 fps... It's not really worth it, to me. I can play D3 fine at 60fps and what's best, is that its a constant 60fps. No spikes or drops during boss battles or mass swarms.
So go ahead and post your specs... Forget what people are posting... Try to make sure, you enjoy the experience. If there's anything we can do here to help, well do it!

Re: Diablo 3 and M14x...
I'm getting 60+ FPS maxed (lower shadows). Never any lag or performance issues at all on the R1 (before, yes).
The issue you're describing is what a great number of people are experiencing:
The cause? Alt/Tab'ing. I also experienced what you were experiencing for the longest time until I discovered it was an issue with the game through google searching.
If this is not the case and you've already updated your GPU driver (followed by a reboot), high-performance power and made sure your GPU is being used for this particular game, then I'm not sure what it could be.Alienware M14X (Stealth Black)

Re: Diablo 3 and M14x...
I hit Ctrl+R last night while playing and I was never getting below 60FPS. Ever.
I have done nothing to hardware/software to modify the sytem. R1. The only thing I tuned down from high was shadow to off. Make sure your laptop is plugged in.
Just a little benchmark for people.M14X \ Intel Core i7 2670QM 2.2GHz (3.1GHz w/Turbo Boost, 6MB Cache) \ 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz \ 3.0GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M

Re: Diablo 3 and M14x...
try look into nvidia setting, under 'Display/change resolution' should be the refresh rate =60Hz.
i dunno how the refresh rate effect the performance, but im having same problem during playing PES. my refresh rate is 40hz on that time. after change to 60hz, voilaaa..problem solve..
