Diablo 3 is finally here after years of waiting, so everyone wants to know if their PC that ran Diablo 2 is going to work (good luck guys!).
The minimum video card requirements seem a little steeper than what I expected from a top down game, but either way this is the official unsupported video card list for Diablo 3.
Note that this is not a comprehensive list. Just because you don’t see your video card listed here doesn’t mean it will work. Check my Diablo 3 supported video cards list to see if it’s there, and if it’s not on either of these then it may just be too old.
Unsupported – Poor Performance
The game may start with one of these video cards, but it may not be able to run very well, if at all.
