Blizzard is pretty famous for creating games that are accessible to the majority of players – regardless of how old their systems are. Yet, as expected, there are some minimum system requirements for playing Diablo 3. To see a list of the minimum system requirements for playing Diablo 3, click here.
Anyone with a reasonably modern PC should be able to run Diablo 3 just fine. I’m playing in the beta with a 3 year old 24″ iMac, and the game runs very decent at native resolution (1920×1200), with all of the settings maxed.
Now here’s the bad news… The following graphics cards are not supported at all, so if you’re rocking one of these old video cards in your PC, then it’s time for an upgrade.

Diablo 3 is coming pretty quick, but you’ve still got over a month left to get your rig updated.
