if anything, I feel performance has gotten better...
Yeah, on my mac it lagged beyond all belief at medium and still lagged and froze from time to time when i set everything to low
Before the beta went down it was running perfect at medium and fairly well at high
Maybe its an issue with the latest patch and mac computers

Make sure you set the settings on low from the default options available and do not custom create them, because it will slow down the game for several games.
After all this, you still experience problems contact Blizzard tech support.
8800 Geforce GTS
My graphics card ran great during phase 1, I would run along the edges of High and Ultra. I would actually have problems if I would try to play it on anything lower. However, on Phase 2, its totally backwards.
I am currently upgrading my drive, lets hope this will fix it.
Your hard-drive? o_O
That seems ... odd ...
That won't really change the performance I think - it is mostly dependent on CPU/GPU/RAM power/amt. You'd do better upgrading those.
I don't think there'd be a significant improvement if you were upgrading from PATA to SATA. I could be wrong though.
Could you be less like one of those Indian Tech Support specialists.Quote:

That's a bunch of decent advice he gave.
Mine is awesome on max settings. Before, it would stutter a bit when a lot of units were on screen. Optimization must have been tweaked during the down-time.
Now, my frame rate is perfect and so far hasn't hanged a bit. And that is with only one 9800 GT.
So do lots of Indian Tech Support agencies for people who don't know what they're doing.Quote:

Stop being so immature Wankey.
I apologize if I offended you in any way or form.Quote:

Can you please post your computer specs?
(cpu type; how many cores, Ram amount, and video card model)
And what settings are you running it on. It's no use if you guys just post
"Shit my performance sucks sweaty donkey balls now"
I have a feeling the game was heavily optimized even more for dual core processors.
it's probably the servers, now it's fine
It works faster or at least the same to me. They got rid of the pylon blue field. It killed my on-board ATI video pretty badly when there were many pylons.
I hope it was only removed from low-quality, because the new markings are quite confusing.

Update your bios, motherboard drivers(if available), check you don't have malware slowing your PC down, do a junk cleanup, defragment your partitions and make sure you have most of the background programs closes - skype, msn, itunes, etc...Quote:

Anyone with basic computer knowledge knows to do all of that already.
Report this to Blizzard. That's a huge performance pit. I can play on low with integrated ATI HD 3200 graphics and Athlon X2 7750 2.7GHzQuote:

WTH this doesnt make sense :P
Wankey, have you updated your drivers and defragged your hard drive and run malware checker and turned off your computer...
;)
that is a big performance drop for sure, have you tried tweaking certain settings? Keep the CPU bound features low and try moving the post processing/video card based settings higher.Quote:

You should post a new thread in tech support with your DXDIAG.
Sorry guys, but just saying "it's slower" doesn't cut it. Post framerates please.
I use riva tuner and a desktop gadget on my 2nd monitor to graph my performance. It's a good 5-15 frames higher than before. It also takes a lot more action to see a noticeable drop in performance. Still tweaking settings.

I know you are talking about people complaining about bad performance... But if you are going to mention good performance, while saying those complaining need to provide better information; don't you think you should provide more information about what settings you are running on?Quote:

It's noticeably slower by a wide margin. Even at 1280x800, the performance sometimes dropps to a dismal 8-15 fps, I have to alt tab, and then alt tab back, the fps goes back to 50-60.Quote:

Starcraft 2 will always lower the performance when switching settings for several games. In lamens terms it basically learns so it can make the best of performance after several games. Especially if you custom make the settings.Quote:

If you go to ultra again, it works fine?Quote:

It seems to me like someone did a mistake, and some effect, shader, or whatever they use at high needs more juice than at ultra.Quote:

p.s ai takes away way too much ram and cpu power just for extreme microing
Same with me. The game doesn't slow down, it's unplayable. I set my settings to ultra for my gaming PC, and you can't scroll the screen.Quote:

If I set it to ULTRA everything (even texture) and make the shaders HIGH, the game plays super smooth.
I think the problem is in the shader programming.
ill give it a try with low shaders
edit: nah just the same....but i dont get those slowdowns when im playing alone vs ai...just when i play team of players vs team of ai.
So i think that its someone elses fault
Team vs AI means more units and more computer players, which means more CPU resources used for AI, more used memory, and video, if there are many units on-screen, oh, and uses more bandwidth.Quote:
