Just enough for 100% scale 1080p on medium settings with AA and Anisotropic filtering disabled with about 50-60 FPS with I'd say - tho it might be a little less when playing with other ppl. Personally I do have GTX 1050 performance that is a bit worse and I overclocked for like +10% and I'm getting like 40-60 FPS on the settings.
If I were you I'd rather try finding something with GTX 1660 or even RTX 2060 as they are not that much more expensive and by far more efficient plus both have 6 GB VRAM instead of 4 GB and it actually can be usefull as as far I remember D2R on medium settings ate me 4,5 GB of VRAM. From what 8 GB RAM in 2021 build is also a bit questionable, for the game it's enough tho you might have problem running Internet Browser along with it, better go for 16 GB, RAM is cheap.
So in conclusion GTX 1650 kinda sucks for playing new games and its current price is so overrated, I'd rather spend additional $200-300 for RTX 2060 and have literally twice as efficient graphics card and so does the whole setup for D2r, as this game is literally all about GPU, the i5-10400F CPU is more, more than enough for it.

I haven’t upgraded my pc since original d2 (pre lod). So I figured it’s time. I purchased this and also got 2x 16gb RAM sticks and upgraded it to 32gb (max).

Since I don’t know much about PCs and my local dealer couldn’t get one with the chip shortage and quoted me over double than what I paid, I’m curious if this will hold up to the d2r specs. Thanks for your help.


I have the laptop version of that PC -- HP Pavilion Laptop (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-pavilion-15-6-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1650-256gb-ssd-shadow-black/6427566.p?skuId=6427566) -- and it ran the beta just fine. I have the Ryzen 4600H version of it, but thats roughly equivalent to the Intel chip in the one you linked. However, I got this one for $450 last black friday and while you might not get as good a deal this time around, i think you should wait until black friday if possible. I added another 500 GB SSD and 8 GB extra RAM stick to it and now I have a pretty decent gaming laptop for under $575 including tax.

Agreed. If he waits until black friday he can probably get it for around $500

I bought a similar pc about 2 months ago for a little cheaper, I run most of the video settings at medium and I was getting 140+ fps during beta, didn't notice any problems at all.

Tbh currently brand-new GTX 1650 alone costs almost $400, tho...
The whole auction is very questionable, there is zero important things mentioned, like especially brand and specs of: power supply (if wouldn't be surprised if one day it burns the PC), motherboard, RAM, SSD etc.

You're be super fine. Remember that D2 was created in 2k/2k1.. the increase in graphics is going to be hardly an issue.

I've seen RTX 3090 gpu throttle 100% on this game... Running 2021 graphics (high) is really taxing on hardware, depends how much you like the eye candy. I guess all low settings shouldnt be that bad. My 1080 TI must be Medium to 60 fps in 4k res... too bad there is no gpu at retail price.

Funny how everybody is saying; relax it's d2r... maybe people are satisfied with lower graphics :hail: to them

D2 has always been about the pvp, loot, grind for me.
Never cared about the graphics for this game.
