The end of the beta is only 1/3 through ACT 1. Leoric is not the Act 1 end boss.

So the beta everyone is crazy about is just F&F? I doubt game will be out this year then.

You can definitely tell it's a modern game with how it's rewards are up in your face. Sometimes I didn't notice when I leveled in D2 if the action was hot and heavy.
TylerD said:Haha, I am surprised that the Radeon 4850 HD was listed as a high settings card. That means that the 560ti I upgraded to last month should beast it with no problems.
Yeah same., got a 560Ti recently also. This is why Blizzard is awesome. Low sys requirements for really nice looking games.
My tits are ready.

I need to see Wizard in HD, right now both the Witch Doctor and Demon Hunter do not look super hot.
I'd blame Blizz. I would've expected 8800GTX be the maximum range for fidelity as this. But too bad they are stuck in 8 years old tech.MrKnives said:Didn't they make it easier to get shit and level up because it's beta. Like they did in WoW
Also that's not end of act 1.
I give you the a la MW2 low health screen. I like it but it needs to be toned down.
Edit: Also why are you watching like the lowest quality stream there is out there?
Edit 2: I land in medium settings ;( Stupid old computer
Raide said:Yeah, they are more up-font with what is going on. The level explosion is even better than the WoW one.
I like to know that I am making progress.
It would be cool if the level explosion actually did damage to surrounding enemies, like a shockwave.

That card is really ancient, it doesn't even score 2000 on 3DMark06
The card is like from 2006.
Think you're out of luck mate.

i dont see why not - at least at low settings. if a geforce 320m can do it, why not the x1600m?
just make sure you are running snow leopard and you'll be golden.secretanchitman said:i dont see why not - at least at low settings. if a geforce 320m can do it, why not the x1600m?
Don't get his hopes up.
A Geforce 320m scores 4000/4500 in 3Dmark06
A X1600 scores 1800
Your card is like 2/3 times as fast as his. A X1600 is just too old.

Ehm your 560 Ti is only about 60-70 percent faster than a hd4850.
Not sure how weak you think a 4850 really is.
It will run the new deus ex at 60 fps, batman AA at 60+ fps, dirt 3 at 50+ fps etc all maxed.
Another sucker/victim of the naming schemes and rebrands from the last 2 gens of graphics cards I guess.
Besides it's a top down view game with mediocre graphics, how demanding could it really be.
Fuuuuuuuck. Guess I'll have to steal my wife's PC a bunch... or try and sell this thing and get a new one before D3 comes out. Sucks, because I felt confident getting a Mac because Blizzard games are really the only PC games I play, and I thought I'd be able to play Diablo 3 on it whenever it came out when I got this. I suppose I didn't think it'd take this fucking long to come out, but I still thought it'd scale enough...

He hasn't said. Could be random or he could do it when he usually does his Starcraft dailies which is around 10PM EST.

Yeah, still waiting for a true step-up from my 4870. But all we see is incremental upgrades for extremely high prices.

The only thing that bugs me:
is there ANY kind of randomization when it comes to map layout?

Waiting anxiously for the 7xxx series, I want to upgrade but I can't justify throwing away 300 euros on a fairly petty upgrade atm.Fallout-NL said:
My 4870 costs about 40 euros second hand atm and for a 70 percent upgrade I'd have to pay 7-8 times that + deal with the excessive noise from the current high end cards, not going to happen.
Again, top down view and most of the shadows/lighting are baked if you look at the videos.Kunohara said:
It looks no better than dungeon siege 3.
And I'm not saying you can't buy a new card
just that AMD and nvidia have successfully tricked people into thinking gtx 260 or hd 48xx are old weak throwaway cards and that the new (well 6 months old by now) cards are much much faster, which they are not.2 4870s in xfire still shit on a hd6970 for half the price.

Only the ones with the same reference blower cooler than the stock 6950s etc have are as loud.DieH@rd said:
Mine is inaudible on idle and very quiet under load, went gaming at a friends place with the blower cooler 6970 and the noise was driving me up the wall, even on idle you can hear it which sucks.
4890 was the loud card, not the later 4870s (e.g this cooler design http://www.jayceooi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/sapphire_hd4870_04.jpg.
Anyhow this is going too off topic.
Your 6870 is the successor to the 4770, it's slower than a 5870 so of course it will be quiet.
Those high end 300 watt tdp cards are noisy as hell.
And that is what I'd have to buy to get a noticable upgrade, you need a monster 3 slot aftermarket cooler with 2 92 mm fans at slow speed and excellent case cooling to get those somewhat quiet, and that means spending another 50-60 euros...
