I'll be going with my 9800 GTX+ it can handle TF2 on Ultra settings at 1920x1080 so I think it should handle D3 max settings.
Running a gtx260 right now, but I'm thinking of upgrading in the next few months. Maybe to a gtx580 if I can afford it, if not, then a gtx460. (Not upgrading for D3, but for games like Battlefield 3 and beyond).
My underworked gtx 580. I spend a bunch of money to keep my computer updated and then go back to playing my old games after a few weeks. :crazyeyes:

Radeon Mobility HD 5870 for when I'm visiting other future D3 addicts, and the Radeon HD 5870 when I'm home. There is quite a difference between those two actually, despite only that 1 word.

I am using my 480GTX AMP! Edition from Zotec (factory overclocked with roughly 1,5gb memory) i put in this rig about one and a half years ago, all games i played (and am interested in in the future, besides D3 probably)since then i could just max out in the settings and never had so much as a stutter when playing (Fallout NV, Deus Ex:HR, Mass Effect 2 to name a few).
Not a graphics whore in any way, anyways, but it's nice to be able to max out the games i like.

ATI HD6950 2gb, I can run ultra SC2 4v2 maxout without framedrop. I think it will be sufficient for D3.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M with Optimus Technology (72 CUDA Cores, 450/1080/1580 Core/Shader/RAM) on my laptop on the train/at work on my breaks .. that is if they fix the Optimus performance issues (currently it's just a blank screen ingame).
Late of an evening after the little one goes to sleep .. on my desktop .. 2 x Sapphire HD6970 2GB GDDR5 PCIE in CrossFireX .. overkill to be sure for Diablo 3 but I got them a little while ago when my old (overclocked) card cooked, the US dollar fell apart and sapphiretech had a sweet promotion .. the both of them ended up costing me less than $500 Aussie dollars :)
I haven't had any issues with CrossfireX and Diablo 3 .. overriding the game settings with max ATI driver settings and the game looks SWEET! What I really need is a bigger monitor :)

Depending on when the game is released I will either play it on my current HD5870 or on a next gen graphics card (HD7970 perhaps?). I plan on upgrading at the start of next summer though, so I really hope I get to play D3 on my current card. It should definitely be enough to max the graphics settings.

GTX 560 TI Same here.

Me too! Gonna see how my gtx260 handles it!
2gb 6970m.
Edit: the forum software won't let me capitalise the "gb" and "m", it reverts them to lowercase. A false positive in the all-caps filter I think.
Waiting till the Kepler is released and picking up one and putting it in my new rig. Until then my 1.2GB 470gtx will serve me well.
I've got the 5850 in my Desktop, though my CPU is pretty ancient (Core2 Duo E6750). But I think I'll be able to make due.

Radeon HD 4890, which is apparently equivalent-ish to a gtx460 or so.
It still runs things pretty nicely on the not-quite-beta version...so I know it works. I want to upgrade but there's always the $$$ problem.

2GB HD6950 with unlocked 6970 shaders, and overclocked as far as CCC will go. Should be more than enough.
what is a good brand to go with for buying a gtx560? i was thinking this one at first, but it has plenty of bad reviews to make me second think it.

My HD4870 1GB will handle this like it's handled everything in the past three years: just fine.

You will get some bad reviews on pretty much any video card on newegg. I wouldn't worry too much, but if you really want a second choice, EVGA is pretty good and has a lifetime warranty.

Tiltoon is pretty much spot on. Newegg reviews good or bad need to be taken with a grain of salt. It is either a person who is completely enamored with their new item or an item that was DOA there is seldom anything in between.
I have owned 3MSI cards and I loved em all. They run really quiet and the extra cooling helps if you want to push the card. The 3 MSI cards all had different variations of their Frozr cooling and I have never had a problem. All the way from my 8800gtx all the way to my current card which is a MSI 470gtx with their twin frozr setup and I have had zero issue with any of em.
I have also built at least a half a dozen rigs for others and put MSI cards in them and they are still going strong. It is my number one reccomended card then Asus then EVGA but any of those manufacturers are pretty equal.
Got myself a new videocard to be able to run the witcher 2 on ultra, so i'm sure it can handle d3 aswell
MSI R6850 Cyclone 1GD5 Power Edition OC
I currently have a 5850, which should be plenty to run the game on max, if not it's not a problem as I will be upgrading early next year anyway.

1280x1024!? That makes my 2560x1440 look tiny by comparison. :whistling: :tongue:

GTX260. I wouldn't mind an upgrade in the future but my dual core e6600 2.4ghz probably wouldn't allow for much difference i think, so i guess i'll take time till i upgrade the whole mobo/cpu/ram combo.. :/
Voodoo 3dfx.
okay, joking.
Most probably going to use my stock AMD 6870
GTX 580 I got shipping to me from Vancouver.
Will be replacing my 550 ti.

EVGA GeForce GTX 580 Superclocked. I have yet to meet a game I can't max out with it. D3 should run flawlessly, just hoping the internet connection stays strong and reliable.
