How to run D3 at 640x480 (or something like that)?

[JoeC]

on my 4 years old crap computer with: intel core 2 quad cpu q6600 @ 2,4ghz | 3,25gb ram | nvidia geforce 8800 gtx
i can run 3 dia3, 3 db and chrome, smoothly. lol. ^^

Bumping this thread, i have a similar setup and can now only get 2 to run somewhat smooth.

Does the code for autoit Sahal posted lower the resolution of the game so that it will improve the cpu usage or does it strictly just as resolution fix?

Any of you who are trying to run low res, also use multiple VM's??

I just copy/paste and no third party stuff. I think it's easier with Win 7 to open a bunch of d3 windows of even number, right click the taskbar and try "stack windows, cascade, or side by side.

Hope this helps I didn't read the whole thread, but it didn't seem to be here.

lower res = less cpu/gpu overhead.

if the d3 are minimized will that work? i find that cpu resources drastically goes down when i minimize d3 but does minimizing causes problems i.e. crashes?

If windows 8... use the search bar on the right side of screen ...

vista/7
you can hit the start button/orb on the bottom left and type
D3 Prefs
Open that up with notepad, and change your window sizes ect.


If windowx Xp , you can find it in the d3 folder.
