Performance has gone down the drain

Could you be less like one of those Indian Tech Support specialists.

I apologize if I offended you in any way or form.

For those who have had their performance decrease since Phase 1,
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.

c2d penryn 2.4ghz 4gb ram 8600gt

used to be able to play on 1920x1200 at all medium settings except shader and ultra effects and high models

Now I have to play at 1280x800 at low settings.

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...

If all fails and you still have performance problems contact blizzard tech support.

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 2.7GHz

I understand that some fps drops may occur since patch 16 is buggy

But here is my situation

Was playing today at full ultra settings and the game was running fine
Then i lowered the settings to full high and the game was unplayable
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...
