Played the D3 beta on my Mac for the first time last night and
oof! It's bad. I can run Skyrim on this hardware at 720p ultra or 1080p high and I couldn't get Diablo 3 to run smoothly at all. Graphics set to 720p with lowest settings across the board. Shadows off, physics off, textures low. Looks terrible, but even then if I get more than 5 enemies on screen, it just stutters and even freezes. I wasn't expecting to max out graphics, but I was at least expecting something smooth. I beat the minimum specs and am close to recommended.
Minimum req's:
Mac® OS X 10.6.8, 10.7.x or newer
Intel® Core 2 Duo
NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M GT or ATI Radeon HD 2600 or better
2 GB RAM
My system:
10.7.3
Intel Core i3 550 3.22GHz
ATI HD 5670 512MB
4 GB of RAM
It looks like I'm not the only one
based on the b.net forums. But man, I was hoping for better. This is terrible and really making me reconsider my pre-order.
Any other GAFers playing on Mac?
