*UPDATE 3* - Well last night I ended up having to resort back to my settings below. The 1.0.2b patch did not seem to resolve the issue for me and it looks like many others as well.
I did see an improvement in overall frame rates. I'd say average increase of 10 fps. But it still drops down to unplayable levels.
I still see the problem is when the game client is calling for data on the drive it drops frame rate. So the external drive I have flashes when active and that is when the fps drops. Once it stops flashing the game runs as normal. It happens much more when you have 3 other players playing with you. I had to go to 800x600 last night just to keep from dying when fighting monsters. My system isn't exactly low end either. Oh well maybe they will keep working on it. Until then I will use the settings below.
*UPDATE 2* - I have been getting good results with everything listed below AND running the game off of my external HDD. The HDD is using a FW800 cable. I have tried it on 3 different brands of drives and all the same result. So with everything listed below AND on an external HDD I have been able to play the game at a "playable" state. Also I am running on
(NOTE) All the external drives are 7200rpm drives.
*UPDATE* - I hadn't been on the forum lately but I wanted to update something else I tried that seemed to make a performance gain as well. This was something I found on the forums that somebody else had posted and seemed to give that person better performance as well.
I went into Library>Application Support>Blizzard>Diablo III folder and opened up the file called D3Prefs.txt (only file I have in that folder) with text edit. I navigated down to the listing that read
DisableTrilinearFiltering "0"
I changed 0 to 1 and saved. I have been able to play the game now for a couple of days without the issue stated below. It's still not great performance but it is much better. It will ONLY do this with these settings though.
Display = Fullscreen
Resolution = 1280x800 (My native resolution is 1440x900)
Letterbox = unchecked
Verticle Synce = Checked
Max Foreground FPS = Checked and set to exactly 50
Max Background FPS = Checked and set to exactly 1
Texture Quality = Low
Shadow Quality = Off
Physics = Low
Clutter Density = Off
Anti-Aliasing = Unchecked
Low FX = Checked
Nothing else running in background (No iShowU HD like mentioned below).
Having an internet browser open in the background seems to slow performance down also.
Oh and a reboot after changes.
Also a greater performance with the game running off of my external HDD over firewire 800.
With this I get around 30 fps steady but still drops every now and then. I played like this pretty solid for several hours without the drop in fps every 5 seconds. But as soon as I change anything above... it happens again. Very weird.
I have the GeForce 9600M GT 512 / 9400M 256 chipset in my macbook pro but NEVER use my 9400M card unless I'm on the road. So I use the 9600M GT 512 to play Diablo 3 yet I still have the drop in frame rates. I get on average 40 fps with everything set to low or medium. So every 3-5 seconds the game drops to about 3-8 fps. Sometimes it plays fine but 90% of the time it doesn't. I have even transfered the game over to my high performance external video editing drives (raid 0) over FW800 to see if that made a difference. I get better performance overall but it still drops to 3-8 fps.
So something I have noticed. When it is on my external I can see my drive working. Every time the drive kicks in is when the drop in frame rates appear. It blinks, the game drops to 3fps. It does that for about 2 seconds then goes back to 40 fps.
Another thing I noticed is I tried something somebody on another forum tried. He said he had frapps going in the background and it increased his frame rate greatly. So I opened up iShowU HD (like frapps) and there was a change for sure. The frame rate jumped from 40 to about 60 sometimes 150 fps but then it would drop down to 11-18 fps every 5 seconds or so just like before. So there is a performance gain for sure but it still is unplayable sometimes. Sometimes it just drops down to 20 fps every 5 seconds and does this for a half hour or so. But when I hit a new environment it goes back to 3-11.
One other thing I noticed. If I start the game, log in, then go straight to a game it starts everything above right away. But IF I log in and wait for a minute I see the drive is still working. When I wait for the drive to stop blinking for a minute and enter a game I usually get about 30 minutes of play without all that mess above.
So I am not sure it is just the 9400M since I don't ever use that. Maybe the game is forcing the 9400M when it opens? Don't know. But I can clearly see it is something to do with the app pulling content from the game files and slowing performance down by watching the drive. Hope this helps. Would love to see this repaired. Thanks!

All we can do on our end is try to rule things out. Just hope somebody at Blizz is able to see the light through all this fog.
I have the exact same problem using the 9600M GT - drops to around 5fps every few seconds making the game unplayable. Sometimes the game will run fine for a while, but then the issue starts re-occurring. It happens regardless of my graphics options settings (i've tried everything from the lowest to highest).
My setup:
Macbook Pro 17-inch early 2009, Lion 10.7.3, 2.66Ghz C2D, 8GB RAM
GeForce 9600M GT 512MB / 9400M
Oddly the game seems to play OK if I have my my MacBook plugged into my external 23" Cinema Display and use the external as the main display, but only if the MacBook's lid is open! If I close the lid (clamshell mode) and use just the external display then the problem re-occurs exactly as above. I can't work this one out at all... it's incredibly frustrating.
I've got the same problems. Hopefully Blizzard will fix this soon...
Further to my post above, this afternoon I installed a Windows 7 BootCamp partition and Diablo III runs on there at a consistent and very playable 35+ fps at the native 1920x1200 resolution with settings on low/medium and shadows off - no ongoing, recurring slowdowns after a few hours of playing.
Just for the record, while in OS X, I did have the 9600M GT activated in Energy Saver, so it's not simply a case of Windows defaulting to the discrete graphics rather than the integrated 9400M. There's clearly issues with the OS X implementation, but I think that's been established already.

Same exact computer, same exact problems.
Good post, OP. I have a nearly identical setup to you and the same problem. It has continued to get worse as I've played (and so I keep coming back here to see if there are any developments...).
I soldiered on to Act III and had to give up because my FPS has dropped to 5-6 and stayed there, both in dungeons and in town. :(
Interesting about the HDD access syncing up with the stuttering. When it first started happening to me, I thought 'geez, this looks like I'm out of memory and I'm getting horrible latency from callbacks to disk'. Thing was, the Diablo.app wasn't using that much (~400 MB, I think) and there was still lots of free RAM. And I'm pretty sure, short of loading textures/geometries from disk to GPU memory (which should only happen once per object type, usually on loading a level), there is no reason for video effects to trigger disk access...
There's no way the 9600M GT should perform this poorly... clearly something is bugged. Maybe the Mac Nvidia drivers, maybe Blizzard goofed, maybe Apple, even.
Maybe I'll have to go down the Bootcamp route if this can't get resolved soon...
DirtyMachete #1465
I have a late 2008 MBP with the same dual graphics card setup and I can't get any sort of consistent performance. I hope it gets resolved, because I really don't want to have to buy Windows 7 to get a decent frame rate.
NilstecInc #2754
Yup, same for me!
I also noticed, that it does not occur when using a seperate display...
Same mac - same problems :(
Edited by Ranch#2215 on 5/20/2012 2:32 PM PDT
I'll have this information sent up to the team for investigation. I know that they are working on implementing some additional optimizations for the Mac client, but I'd like to make sure this is investigated. as well.

This is small step for me, but big step for humanity. Or something like that...
oh thank you!! Finally some recognition of these issues with mac video card support. Hopefully it will be an easy issue to resolve and have better support with the upcoming patch.
Just to clarify, you stated when it's on your external. Does this mean it is on your external monitor or that the game is on an external HDD?

This is small step for me, but big step for humanity. Or something like that...
For what it's worth, I've got the same spec and same problem too. Very disappointed to not be able to play the game I paid for. Thanks for looking into this
Hi I also have the same problem. I have the 9600m gt but not with a mac. Feels like an old school lag. My friend's netbook with horrible graphics can play better than me.
24" IMac
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256MB
OS: Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3

Game lags like crazy, as soon as I log in I'm at about 200-250ms (still high), and then as soon as I start to move it jumps to 350+, spiking in the 450+ range.
I've tried nearly all the permutations of resolutions, currently at 800x600 windowed, all the settings are low and set to low FPS (60 foreground, 4 background).
The only time I've seen decent performance is in small indoor areas like caves, anything else (Cities, outdoor zones, especially ones with lots of ledges where distant objects like mountains are visible) is too laggy to play well.
Strangely it runs WOW at much higher resolution without problem and generally < 200ms latency.
Thanks Machkhan for your response. It's frustrating when things don't work out but it's good to know that issues are recognised by a blue posting in the thread. Hope you can sort this and would be happy to provide any system info or logs that might help you identify the problem and implement a resolution.

I have an identical machine to the OP, except I'm still on 10.6.8. I play on an external monitor at 1280x720, and I have my frame rate capped at 24. I'm running from my internal 7200 rpm HDD. My settings are all lowest possible, except screen res, and I can generally maintain 24 fps, Dahlgur Oasis cuts my FPS in half and some parts of Act 4 I lose 4-5 fps. If you are running on you built in monitor, with lowest settings and native resolution you should be able to maintain 24 fps. I can't say what is causing your terrible fps unless you are trying to play at 1080p. You're fps is gonna crater at that screen size, at least until some optimizations get introduced.

NH's past: Just leave it to Hollywood
At this month's town election, Kingston voters rejected a proposal to spend $150,000 to save the 179-year-old, publicly owned Grace Daley house on Main Street. Rather than spend the money, they voted for demolition. The house is a goner, but its pieces might be given renewed life by a California actor turned preservationist.
Bronson Pinchot, most famous for playing the character Balki in the 1980s TV show "Perfect Strangers" and Serge in the Beverly Hills Cop movies, has a cable TV show in which he salvages pre-1840s buildings. When a fan brought the Grace Daley house to his attention, he contacted the town about using it for his show.
Pinchot carefully disassembles old buildings and reuses their parts. As he said in an interview with the Union Leader last week, "you admire the workmanship and you honor it."
That is something done less and less in New Hampshire. There are numerous examples. To cite only a few, in 2006 Manchester razed its oldest standing firehouse. In 2011, the State Employees Association bought a beautiful Concord home built in 1802 and tore it down. In January, the owners of the Balsams Grand Resort, having no use for one of the original buildings, burned it down.
The attitude expressed by SEA president Diana Lacey in 2011 is more prevalent than it should be. "We're interested in the property. We're not interested in the building," she told Concord's Demolition Review Committee.
Who really is interested in old buildings these days? They're so... old. All that creaky wood and warped glass, those narrow stairwells and drafty doorways. Modern is the way to go. And it is the way New Hampshire is going. Without looking back. Just light the match and walk away, looking ever forward, ever forward.

When Religion Refrains From Explaining "Why"
If religion's purpose is to help people find peace and strength and to live good lives, which I believe it is, it makes sense that people would turn to religion to explain why terrible things happen in the world – … Continue reading →

On the scandal of scandals
By Harvey Daiho Hilbert I have been barely keeping up with the various scandals in the Zen world. There are so many with often unhelpful angry comments in the response boxes on websites like Sweeping Zen that it is a challenge to read them all. Suffice to say, the house seems to be falling down. But, of course, it isn't. ... Read More »
SIT-A-LONG with Jundo: Newtown -IS- Samsara
Samsara, this world we live in, is thus. It is a world filled with great beauty and sometime great ugliness, human beings who live in peace and those who kill. Sometimes innocent children die. Today is a day for tears. The true evil doer is greed, anger and ignorance, mental illness. That is the disease, that is the real culprit. Yet, the Buddha ... Read More »
SIT-A-LONG with JUNDO: Sex Scandal Finger Wagging
Following up on a prior talk by me called Sex Scandal Finger Wagging (Link Here), I now wish to call out some other damn foolish behavior witnessed in the ongoing big hoo-hah about Sasaki Roshi at SweepingZen.Com … I wag my finger at those so invested in their religious or other heroes and "gurus", their idealism and romanticism about "Enlightened Roshis", that they are blind to serious failings, ...

Teacher? Student? by Koun Franz
The other night, after returning home from my teacher's temple, where we celebrated the Buddha's enlightenment, I fell head first into what I suppose is my own version of internet porn: Zen people arguing with Zen people on Zen blogs about Zen. These days the topic is sex, and the discussion is heated, and like any kind of pornography, it ... Read More »
Sweeping Zen does not exist. It's just an idea.
This post is a little bit ironic. Amid the conversations going on lately surrounding different (yet related) issues of ethical conduct, I've been constructively schooled on some things — the kind of stuff we don't always like to hear. I've been told that I'm too angry and overt (in less flowery words) and, I've got to say, it's very true. ... Read More »

StairsDream dictionary Stairs - what does Stairs dream mean?
To dream that you are walking up a stairway implies that you are advancing towards enlightenment and comprehension. Your hidden emotions are being revealed
To dream that you are walking down a stairway suggests that there are still thoughts and emotions that you have yet to express. It also reflects hardships and obstacles you may be facing in the future.
If you are afraid of going down the stairs, then it implies that you are reluctant to acknowledge these problems. Perhaps something that occurred years ago wants to be dealt with.
To see spiral or winding stairs implies a new beginning and development.

If your holiday list includes a laptop, there's a new choice from an well-known name: Samsung. In October, Samsung announced that it was entering the U.
Desktops get little love these days as more and more users opt for notebook PCs. Laptops have closed the gap in recent years in terms of features and performance.
AMD will announce its second-generation Phenom quad-core chips at the big Consumer Electronics Show in January. But at the current rate at which the company is leaking information about its first 45nm desktop processors, there may not be much left to say by the time they get to Vegas.
The biggest surprise of 2008 was the arrival of netbooks. Asus was the first in the pool with its Eee PC, and after some initial hesitation, the big guys were forced to jump in as well.
Now that Intel has officially released its Core i7 processor, fresh desktops are arriving daily. Dell has released four systems with Core i7 processors, including one mainstream Studio XPS desktop and three gaming rigs.
Here's a picture of Kayak, the "PC alternative" for emerging markets that Qualcomm announced yesterday. It looks pretty much the way the company described it: sort of a cross between the Apple Mac Mini--bring your own monitor, keyboard and mouse--and the OLPC's XO laptop with its rabbit-ear antennae.
HP's first 13-inch consumer laptop, the Pavilion dv3510nr, is getting good grades, including an Editors' Choice award from CNET.com.
Laptops using multiple GPUs aren't new, but they are becoming more widespread. Earlier this week AMD touted the first laptop "from a major manufacturer" with two ATI Mobility Radeon GPUs, the Alienware M17.
Gateway announced its MC series notebook in late October, but so far it has received little coverage aside from Laptop Magazine's review. The MC series is one of several recent laptops with 16-inch widescreen displays geared toward entertainment.

Wear It Now
Raise Your Game: It's Time to Update Your Soft Wear
Sweats have long been the domain of slovenly Americans at the airport. But now designers like Alexander Wang have transformed them. Finally, you can lounge on the couch in comfort without killing your girlfriend's libido—and even wear them (gulp) in public
Before anyone hits the streets in an old pair of sweats because GQ said it's cool, understand this: The out-and-about look here works because there are now pants that are more structured than ever before. (Notice how extra seams give these real shape.) That's what allows you to dress them up with something like a buttonfront shirt—instead of just wearing a tee.
Sweatpants, $150 by T by Alexander Wang. Cardigan, $80 by Banana Republic. Shirt, $60 by Lands' End Canvas. Sneakers, $385 by Common Projects. Hat by Coal. Sunglasses by Ray-Ban. Backpack by Herschel Supply Co. Watch by IWC.

An M-estimator of spatial tail dependence
Andrea Krajina (University of Göttingen)
14:00-15:00, salle Extranef 125
Afficher l'abstract
Tail dependence models for distributions attracted to a max-stable law are fitted using observations above a high threshold. To cope with spatial, high-dimensional data, a rank-based M-estimator is proposed relying on bivariate margins only. A data-driven weight matrix is used to minimize the asymptotic variance. Empirical process arguments show that the estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal. Its finite-sample performance is assessed in simulation experiments involving popular max-stable processes perturbed with additive noise. An analysis of wind speed data from the Netherlands illustrates the method.

Expected Shortfall revisited
Pablo Koch (University of Zürich)
14:00-15:00, salle Extranef 118
Afficher l'abstract
Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall are the two most widely used risk measures in the context of capital adequacy. Expected Shortfall has often been depicted as a policyholder risk measure. We will challenge this view by resorting to the concept of surplus invariance, i.e. the requirement that the adequacy of the capitalization of a financial institution should not depend on the surplus, which benefits exclusively shareholders. We will link the lack of surplus invariance to the dependency of Expected Shortfall on the aggregation currency. We will stress the point that choosing a risk measure is not straightforward since it often involves competing and conflicting requirements.

Set-valued portfolios and set-valued risks
Ilya Molchanov (University of Bern)
11:00-12:00, salle Extranef 125
Afficher l'abstract
Using the concept of set-valued portfolios, it is possible to incorporate dependencies between the distribution of the multivariate gain and the exchange rules. The set-valued portfolio is considered acceptable if it possesses a selection (i.e. a random vector which almost surely belongs to it) with all individually acceptable components. The corresponding set-valued risk measure is said to be the selection risk measure. The talk surveys its main properties, discusses the primal and dual representations, gives examples, and shows how to approximate its values from below and from above using rather elementary arguments.

Model Risk Cultures
Andreas Tsanakas (Cass Business School, London City University)
14:00-15:00, salle Extranef 118
Afficher l'abstract
We understand model risk as the risk to a decision maker arising from specific ways of (not) using a quantitative model. Model risks range from basing decisions on flawed calculations, to impacts on perception, behaviour and accountability. We stipulate that there are four distinct ways of (not) using models, each arising from different attitudes towards the legitimacy of modelling and from varying levels of concern about epistemic uncertainty. In the presence of deep uncertainties, we argue that each of those ways of using models is bound to fail if deployed on its own. This argument has normative implications. First, it highlights the required pluralism of stakeholders involved in model governance and validation. Second, it expands the space of legitimate challenges to quantitative models from a purely technical critique, in order to also reflect operational and commercial criteria. In particular, legitimising the concerns of a wide variety of stakeholders engenders transparency about models' strengths and limitations, improving accountability and risk management. Acknowledging the nature of (model) risk as essentially political is vital for protecting the scientific integrity of the modelling process. Joint work with M Bruce Beck, Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, University of Georgia; Michael Thompson, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis; The Model Risk Working Party of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.

Individually, the complete series costs $20, making the collected edition a 50% savings.Description:I've been told that the entire continent of Antarctica groaned at the moment of my birth. The howl tore across glaciers, over mountains and deep into the ice. Everyone says so. Except for my father; all he heard was Mother's sobs. Not of pain, but of joy, so he says. Other than that, the only verifiable fact about the day I was born is that an iceberg the size of Los Angeles broke free from the ice shelf, a few miles off the coast. Again, some would have me believe the fracture took place as I entered the world. But all that really matters, according to my parents, is that I, Solomon Ull Vincent, the first child born on Antarctica--the first and only Antarctican--was born on September 2nd, 1974.If only someone could have warned me that upon my return to the continent of my birth, thirteen years later, I would be kidnapped, subjected to tortures beyond comprehension and forced to fight...and kill. If only someone had hinted that I'd wind up struggling to survive in a subterranean world full of ancient warriors, strange creatures and supernatural powers.Had I been warned, I might have lived a normal life. The human race might have remained safe. And the fate of the world might not rest on my shoulders. Had I been warned...This is my story--the tale of Solomon Ull Vincent--The Last Hunter.
