Dunno if this section knows about this kinda stuff since its a harddrive and driver help O.o but ill ask just in case

My diablo 2 FPS used to always be 300+ fps
Just today it suddenly only has a 16 - 30fps constant.

I checked my Counterstrike Source FPS and it's still the same as always at 236 fps. And counterstrike source takes a LOT more graphics than diablo 2.

Anyone know the prob?

This is what I use to tweak my Diablo 2; it grants steadier FPS and better aesthetics versus Direct 3D.

wow dude...the graphics are better lol...like a very nice upgrade
still not hitting my original fps but does look a LOT nicer (thanks a lot )
nvm the fps is still 30, but the graphics look nicer

Do you know any reason why only d2 would have this low fps while my other games arent ?

Other than it being such an old game and drivers might not be optimized for it, no...

Try running it in compatbility mode winxp or something

my compatability list is only
Windows 95
Windows 98 / Windows Me
Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5)
Windows 2000

idk >_<

run as admin?

this what my properties looks like
no run as admin

Mine did that too me for some reason in full screen mode idk y. I have dual 570s too lol. I reinstalled and it jumped back up too 1000+ or w/e it was. Try that it worked for me. Just make sure u run xp mode and disable desktop comp and run the 3d test

Edit: oh ha u have xp. Just reinstall and run the 3d test
