Diablo 2 Resurrected Better Graphics Configurations

This guide will show you the best graphics settings for Diablo 2 Resurrected, for PC users of low-end-range games. Your experience in the game will be comparatively more fluid, and an adequate combination of configurations may even help you eliminate several performance problems such as FPS and stuttering in the game.

Diablo Graphics Configuration Guide 2 Resurrected

Diablo 2 is back, and this time in the form of Risen . The game is available on all main platforms at this time. The game is not really a full remake of the original, which was released almost 21 years ago. There are no changes in the history or central mechanics of the game. The systems of elements or the balance of the game are also kept unchanged.

Diablo 2 resurrected is basically a remaster. The game has been developed by Blizzard and Vicarus Visions this time. But despite being just a remaster, this version 2021 of Diablo 2 has brought many changes to the table. Game graphics have received a great reform and now the game is compatible with resolution 4K.

But, if you have saved Diablo II original files, you can import them into a single local player and continue from that point.

Unfortunately, Blizzard has not managed to eliminate all the technical errors of the game. So far, new mistakes have appeared from time to time. Some are quite rompedors if you ask me.

I saw many people publishing in the D2R forums, asking for help with respect to the settings of game graphics. They believe that the performance problems they face have something to do with the configuration of the graphics that are not configured correctly in the game. Which is really true. The game is not optimized correctly at all. D2R is undoubtedly one of the clicking titles to move more demanding I have seen.

If I speak of my personal experience, I honestly did not face any performance problem in my RTX 2060 and RTX 3070. But I can understand that not everyone is sitting with a high-end GPU. That is why I decided to make this graphics configuration guide, addressed to users who are experiencing problems such as FPS falls and stuttering. Let s look at the guide now:

Graphics Configuration

Visualization mode: Full screen (This should be obvious at this point) Resolution: 1920 × 1080 (All the guide is 1080p oriented. If you have a 1440p or 4K monitor, this guide will not help you much) Scale resolution: 100 (I do not want to change this and make the game blurred) Sharp: 5 (6 I was making the game seem a bit sharpened) Vertical Synchronization: Uncheck (Turn on this, if you have the problem of GPU high use and your GPU is overheating) Graphics preset: Custom Texture quality: Medium (a demanding adjustment. Adjust it to low if you are using an integrated GPU or low-end) Anisotropic filtering: 8x (This gives you an FPS impulse. However, it will not recommend 4X) Environmental occlusion quality: Medium (affects performance by a small margin) Detail of the character: medium (one of the most demanding configurations. You will not lose much visual quality in Media ) Detail of the environment: medium (I did not see almost no change in visual quality, with this configuration established in high and very high) Transparency quality: High (affects performance by a small margin) Shadow Quality: Medium (It really does not matter. The characters are small and the shadows they project are smaller) anti-aliasing: FXAA (SMAA T2X is really demanding) Dynamic Resolution Scale: Uncheck (the resolution changes dynamically, it is always a not going for me) VFX lighting quality: high

Specifications of the test system

GPU | ZOTAC GTX 1650. --- | --- UPC | Ryzen 5 5600x. RAM | DDR4 of 16 GB 3200 MHz HDD | 2 TB 7200 rpm SSD | Samsung 970 EVO Plus of 500 GB Monitor resolution | 1920 × 1080. Graphic controller | NVIDIA GAME READY V472.12 controller (adds support for devil 2 resurrected)

It is always recommended to run a game on a mid-range game platform if you want to find the best combination of graphics settings for the game. It does not make sense to execute reference points on game platforms with high or enthusiastic level graphic cards. Because, let s be honest, all games will run smoothly on an RTX 3080 or a RX 5800 XT.

Diablo 2 Resurrected - Performance Analysis

minimum FPS (1% low) | Average FPS (99%) | FPS maximum --- | --- | --- 34 FPS | 56 FPS | 71 FPS.

This is how Diablo 2 resurrected is seen in the graphics configuration given above:

Okay, let me begin by saying that I was surprised to see that my GTX 1650 could not bring me 60 FPS constant in Diablo 2 resurrected in the maximum configuration. I lowered the configuration a little, but still I could not get 60 constants. It was then when I went to check the forums and I saw a lot of people talking about how unrestimized this game is.

I researched a bit and discovered that this game works best at the AMD GPU. But you still need something like the RX 570 to get something close to 60 fps. I had seen many publications on low FPS and random stutters after the launch of the beta of this game. Then I did not pay much attention. Now that I have the game personally. Everyone makes sense now.

I mean, if you look at this video performance test of Diablo 2 Resurrected. Where I m running the game on an RTX 2060. You ll see that I just get something between 70-80 fps.

In summary, if you are trying to play Diablo 2 resurrected in a low-end GPU, such as the GTX 1050, or an integrated GPU on your laptop. You may have to settle for low performance. The only way to obtain a significant increase in FPS is by reducing the resolution scale. But, what is the point of playing this version of Diablo 2 then? You could also play the Legacy version.

That s all folks!
