Diablo 3 Free to play weekend this weekend

I figured they didn't quite expect the impact from the volume of testers and tried to re-tool during the emergency maintenance.

Isn't that why they do stress tests? To find out if things are going to crash?

My 2.8GHz iMac is groaning under the load of the lowest settings as well. Still, just hearing the music during the first few seconds was already worth the download \

Definitely some graphic optimization needed on the Mac side. However, my three-year-old 2.67 GHz i7 with an ATI GPU just plows through on high settings, 60 FPS. The newer (1 year) 3.0 GHz i3 iMac with ATI mobile-type GPU has issues above medium, and just stops when someone tosses unruned corpse spiders till the animation finishes. Runed spiders are fine, though, and frogs don't bother a bit.

I'm hoping the finished game will run a bit better. I can't afford to buy a new machine just for gaming, I shouldn't even have bought the game . Bit disappointing that even the 3GHz iMac is struggling.

Well, I used to main tank MC and BWL with <10fps, I guess I can deal with 15-20fps Diablo III. ALso, if memory serves, there are usually Mac-specific patches coming out not too far behind release that address performance.
