Real Life Highscore

Blizzard make games that tend to be very well optimized and scale to lower end systems very well. However, if you have a laptop with integrated graphics or a bit of an older computer then you might be struggling in Diablo 3, even with all of the in-game settings down  as low as they can go. Luckily then that I recently discovered another way to increase your framerate or FPS on Diablo 3 using a slight graphical tweak on one of the settings files.

The tweak involves disabling Trilinear filtering through the D3Prefs.txt file and it can get you an extra five to ten FPS without any noticeable degradation in aesthetics.

Check out the video below for a guide to disabling Trilinear Filtering in Diablo 3 for both Mac and Windows.

Doing this little graphical tweak managed to get me about an extra 5 FPS on my 13-Inch Macbook Pro, making it playable in most areas. I look forward to trying it on my desktop to see if I can get an increase in performance while recording videos.
