NOTE: If you are playing Diablo 3 on a low end computer, or a system that can barely run it, and want tips on what settings to choose so that you can play, see the section:
Display Mode
Allows you to change the primary display mode of the game to Fullscreen, Windowed, or Windowed (Fullscreen). Windowed modes may cause a drop in performance.
Available options: Fullscreen, Windowed, Fullscreen Windowed
Resolution
Higher resolution will result in increased clarity, but this greatly affects performance. Choose a resolution that matches the aspect ration of your monitor
Available options include: 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x720 (16:9 Widescreen), 1280x768 (16:10 Widescreen), 1280x800 (16:10 Widescreen), 1280x960, 1280x1024, 1366x768 (16:9 Widescreen), 1600x1024(16:10 Widescreen), 1680x1050 (16:10 Widescreen), 1920x1080 (16:9 Widescreen)

High: No reduction
Clutter Density
Ground Clutter controls the density and the distance at which ground clutter items, like grass and foliage are placed. Decrease to improve performance.
Off: No Clutter
Low: Short distance at which clutter items are placed with low density
Medium: Medium distance at which clutter items are placed with medium density
High: High distance at which clutter items are placed with high density
Anti-Aliasing
Fullscreen Anti-Aliasing helps soften model edges. Disabling this may improve performance.

diablo 3 beta not supports it says video card not supports iam using intel4chipset family how i update to play diablo3 please tell me
You need to get a graphic card that isn't the chip on your motherboard which is the intel family chip u currently are using. If you have it installed maybe you need to run the drivers.
Hey Aslam,
Did you find a fix for your problem?? because I just downloaded the game today and it is telling me the same thing....
ok first you need to go to your documents the find folder called diablo 3 then go into d3prefs then find hardware class then set it to 1 the go into the launcher of diablo 3 and when it tells you that you video card isnt supported press esc on your keyboard and the game will launch have fun
Can my laptop run diablo 3: it has a 1.9GHZ Processor?
I did a system requirements test on the web and only my CPU failed to meet the minimum requirements, according to the test. Will I really not be able to run the game?
everyone with an intel chipset learn how to google. heres the fix http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5151265737
I am using an AMD C-50 dual-core processor 1.0ghz and Raedeon HD 6250 graphics. Would I be able to run the game or would it be impossible?
Inside the folder libraries/documents/diablo III
there is a file named "d3prefs.txt". Open it.
Change:
- DisableTrilinearFiltering "1" (from 0 to 1)
- HardwareClass "1" (from 0 to 1)
Save the file and close it.
When you launch the game, you will still get the same
“Unsupported graphics card” error that pops up. Press esc
and the game will load.

worked for me i have intel4chipset family
Could my Dell Imspiron run Diablo 3??
The framrate trick really worked. I have an HP2000 the graphics card is great just the cpu is low and before this lowest settings didn't touch framrate option, it lagged especially when clans are close i just changed the frame rate to 15 and 1 and its smooth as butter and the resolution stayed the same 1366x766 awesome hint! Thanks now i can play again.
