[Guide] Decrease CPU & GPU usage while botting [D3Prefs.txt]

[Thelifeguard]

Thanks for this. My computer (MacBook Air 2011, with Bootcamp) doesn't run its fan like a fucking stephen hawking anymore

Select plugin GilesTrinity under DemonBuddy Plugins tab, click Config, click Advanced tab, tick the check box for Enable TPS, set to 4 (or less). That will use less CPU.

I have a problem - there is no such file in my diablo3 directory to replace with the one attached in this thread. Originally, I didn't have "D3prefs" there.

its in documents/games/diablo 3 or documents/diablo <- something like that. Not in your diablo 3 game folder.

hmm I don't have performance Problems. My CPU runs on 10-20% on high Diablo 3 Settings.

I7 930
6gb tribble ddr3
SSD + 1hdd
Windows 8

EDIT: But i had performance problems with the standard bot setup + rotation. Now I use the trinity plugin and all runs fine with my ww barb.

I think there's something wrong with the forum, it was down all earlier today so probably something with that.

[wilbo007]

Is there a program that says GPU usage?

Let me google that for you

 

[Immortality]

You can use YARG it monitors cpu/gpu usage per D3 running on it.

Anyone have the prefs that can post in thread the download is still faulty so cant get the file.

Thx a lot

 

[Jeck1986]

what about back/foreground max fps? in these d3prefs they are set to 15 both,
I heard that it should be 20-30 for bots' best performance, is that right?
I've tried changing them and didn't see any difference, does it matter at all?..

Hello, everyone i think that's my first post, anyways... I've got i5 2500k @ 4,3Ghz i chose 25FPS for my bots back/foreground i think thats enought for them, to not die a lot of time. What's the point ? i using since today - D3prefs usage of CPU fall down from about 80% to 59-73% its up of chaos in game/fighting or location i think. Anyway, some times its about 85% with D3prefs changed, i've got 5 bots online, i think that my CPU can do more than this. before (old prefs) with 6 bots it was about 100% and fps fall to 10-15%... defenitely crap for farming inferno. Am i doing something wrong, i can notice some fast freez like 1fps or 1frame per 2 seconds. I READ that people with my CPU, going with 9bots or something.. and people with almost same i7 2600k doing more than 10bots (about 12)... how ? GPU - Nvidia GTX 680, RAM 16GB 1600Mhz, i know that sandy bridge prefer 1333Mhz, ivy bridge - 1600Mhz, but it should change nothing.

If its jumped from 51% usage to 80% sometimes with changed D3 prefs i think there is no chance to put more bots than 6-7 on that big performence, also no chance to play another game except World of Warcraft.

lol..... so beleive it or not, this makes my d3 run worse.

and i have no idea why its setting stuff to high physics and high clutter density regardless of how much it dumbs down



there was another thread with a way better guide too bad i cant find it :|

 

[Blarg]

i have no idea why its setting stuff to high physics and high clutter density regardless of how much it dumbs down

About halfway down the Prefs in the OP it shows shadows, physics and clutter set to "0" which should turn them off:

ShadowQuality "0"
PhysicsQuality "0"
ClutterQuality "0"

Maybe your game is accidentally overriding them?

 

[DevOne]

I'm replacing file, starting game... BANG! It's on default settings again.
Full screen, shadows, etc.

Anybody knows how to fix this?

 

[Kadadji]

And u can turn off any damage numbers in d3 settings)
u'll get about 2-3% CPU load free for one window
