I read somewhere also that the ATI card was the once of choice to play D3 as it was supposed to be smoother. Your system is certainly more powerful than my p4-2.4, 1gig, 9800pro setup. When I run D3 on 1024x768 at medium quality I get an ave of 40-60 fps on the chilled sections, with drops down to 20 or so when the action is full on. Does D3 have a safe mode to fun in, see if that helps ? Can't think if anything more technical :/ Simon
