Evil has returned

I am using GTX-460 on my 20' LCD Tv it was less then $200 (used 4-5 months unit), also using the audio from there. Got a Nvidia when my old friends in sim lim told me ATI was less straight forward when it comes to audio support.
Think i will upgrade my PC again soon... just CPU and board thou.

@Ralliart12, Someone worked 2560x1440 during beta. Expect it to go further, since starcraft beta was toned down.

Anyway video card support list

FYI to All: INTEL onboard for laptops. only "Intel HD" (HD Graphics 1000, 2000 & 3000 ONLY).

Got source where I can read further details? I wish to know whether it's "stretched" to 2560 * 1440, or whether do I really get 2560*1440-wroth of UI elements?

I went to battlenet forums. Using google to search & opened a few hits that are from there.

IMHO, no lol. I only don't want to die and blame it on hardware. My tv is not very good & only does 720p native.

@Felix, I have narrowed down to the GTX560 or 550 ti. But nothing to test it on.

@Alvinchan: I was playing with my mid 2010 13" MBP, running on 8gb ram. Everything set to the lowest :P

Lowest.. That is 'sian'...
Mine is a 2012 17" MBP... Don't know if can at least get a medium video quality...

[Simon]

your 2012 MBP will definitely be better. For me, not necessarily must have medium nor highest settings.

[limz_777]

this blizzard company should start making movies , their cgi is quite good

I didn't install in my mbp. Have a close friend played using iMac and said responds was good. Default settings.

My only fear is when playing hell mode. The bulk of monsters (like cow level herding and lighting fury skill) will cause lag.

@simon, gtx560 is good. MSI?

[ralliart12]

...the onboard GFX HDMI input is also where I get the sound from...

Hi, Simon, Can elaborate on this? I do not understand.

@Simon, I am using a GTX560 Ti. I am not intending to get a new graphics card for D3.

[Simon]

Just a GFX with onboard audio output. Like the GTX560 Ti

@Felix, it is a mid level GFX card

[Simon]

I'm struck, bought the gfx card and realised casing and psu got issue. Now thinking whether yo upgrade my entire system to a i7 system. Think I test out the actual game before I decide further

[felix_fx2]

Simon,

Card too long and not enough pci-e?
Where did you purchase from?

I bought from Pc themes case and psu bundle. My team lead at work bought his 560 twin froze there also.

[Simon]

I had too many SATA connections :P, 8 to be exact. and the connectors are blocking the card. Then I found my PSU 600W, only came with 1 6 pin PCI-E plug.
so now I got 2 options;

1) Stick to my Duo core 2 system, upgrade PSU, casing and give up on 2 of my HDD (less than $400)
2) Upgrade my whole system.

I did a rough estimate last night, a new system of my own specification is 1.7k :P

Got my card (ATI Radeon) from Bizgram. I do my own DIY PC, been doing so since P1 era

[felix_fx2]

Hi Simon,

8 connections ? You running Raid 1+0 ???
Not sure the current cards can even boot when running half powered using 1 x pci-e power.

Upgrade is cheap compared to 5-7 years ago. 1.7K can buy you a powerful pc running 1 GFX. (Btw, Ivy Bridge should be out this month)
You can opt for a full tower and keep your hdd or buy a cheap NAS and dump it in like i did.

[Simon]

New system specs includes 4x2tb hdd. I need plenty of storage.
My dilemma is the option of topping alittle more for a inaccurate

[Simon]

Eventually went for an entire new system with the new ivy bridge i7+16gb ddr3, cm 800watts psu

[ralliart12]

I think AsiaSoft is handling the launch pretty poorly, i.e. register at 9am but earliest can only collect at 3pm. No guaranteed freebies, i.e. no poster, no T-shirt, no mousepad.

That is one good rig

You going? Budget cuts maybe

[ralliart12]

You going?...

Nope, either I get my friend to collect for me; or I will collect from the original retailer (from which I bought from)the following day. Even right now I'm telling my friend that I feel the launch event is poorly arranged & I'll understand if he doesn't wish to collect from the official launch.

...Budget cuts maybe

I believe they are trying to bet on the fact that the folks will not return home during the period from 9am to 3pm & spend some cash at their collaborating road show partners. Which is quite nasty for those who just wish to collect their games & go.
