Could i run D3 on high settings

[BionicTaco]

So ive recently saved up some pennies and wanted to build a pc for the one purpose of playing D3, but im not a big tech guy and wanted opinions on wether or not it could handle and run D3 on high settings

The specs are

Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4ghz
4GB RAM
Radeon HD 6850
22" Dell LCD Monitor

i got the monitor already, its the monitor i used with my other crappy computer

Any suggestions are very welcome as i havent ordered any of the parts yet

According to this, that card will get a solid 70+fps everything maxed in 1080p resolution... You will be a happy D3 gamer :thumbup:

I advise you go foing for gtx560 instead of HD6850 it is more expensive but much more money wise.

this one you can get around 200$ or is it too much for you? let me now.

That will be more than enough for Diablo III, plus I guess you're only playing at 1680 x 1050 with that monitor?

@BohemianStalker Im kinda on a tight budget, is the reason i went with the Radeon 6850 its alittle cheaper but its a really good card from what i hear or would the 6850 struggle on high?

@MrH Yes that is the current resolution im using

I've got a 6870 and it runs (ran) the D3 beta just fine. I can't see the 6850 doing much worse.

Here is a demonstration video of D3 beta performance with Gigabyte 6850 card, it runs smoothly in action.

6850 is perfectly fine it is just gtx560 would be my choice if you had 50$ dollars more..:-)

Guys, I already posted this somewhere, but since this is the dedicated tech support:

I have a 9800GT 512mb with an I7 920.
I know the card is supported and above minimum specs, but I want feedback from people playing the beta.
Will the game be smooth on 1360x798 on reasonable medium/high setting and in the most intense battles?

I have laptop with 9700M GT and P8600 2.4ghz cpu, beta ran good on 1024x720 resolution with high settings, so you will be good.

Thanks Berwulf! :)

Any other 9800GT / 8800/GT users?
