never had problems with my 2600k

disable down to 2 and see if that helps. itll still run great on 2 cores

I'm confused... so diablo is optimized for 2 cores? I know wow is optimized for quad cores. Isn't the gpu smart enough to allot sources on its own in a quad proc?

I have fairly high end specs with a quadcore and the game seemed fairly laggy for me as well. I suspected it was my low end video cards but I put a lot of the settings pretty low.
My processor is a Intel Core i7. When I look at the process list and try to change the affinity it shows me 8 CPUs (labeled 0-7).

??? Some of your information must be wrong.

The whole idea doesn't even make sense to me anyway. How could disabling processing power make anything go faster...?

Seems to work pretty well so far... thanks dude

I know it doesnt make sense. But disable down to 2 cores and give it a try. You will see that it fixes everything and you can pump your gfx back up.

i7 "shows" 8 cores due to hyperthreading... other processors dont have that.

it does make sense I get it now!



it's a really great tip, going to test it now :>

I'm actually have the exact same issue as the original poster with a pretty solid build, so I will try this when I get home as well and report back with the results.

think i can do same for my triple core? i get slow motion lag in groups, especially with wizards

Setup:
AMD Anthlon II x3 440 rana 3.2Ghz
Nvidia Gtx 460 hawk twin frozr
8Gb DDR 2 ram

my rig should be perfectly fine for this game... i mean i play crisis maxed with maxed AA in control panel
i tried putting Nvidia control panel to default but still no luck
