I have the beta running on max settings. Runs smooth as can be for me. The only adjustment I have done is boosted my fan speed 300 RPM's from default. My video card was heating up really bad on default fan settings, which worried me cause I plan to be playing this game a good 4-5 hours at a time. Once I changed the speed the temp droped a good 10degrees, and now I dont feel so worried about it.

Sounds great! I didn't expect it to run the game on high very smoothly, so this a nice surprise. Thanks for letting me know.
Np, just a heads up though. On the D3 mac support forums. Everyone is having mixed results with the mac version, I don't know if these people are using the same models as I have or not though. I imagine most of them having the issue are using older models.

I'm hoping that my 2011 Mac Mini with the dedicated 256MB video card ( the one in my sig. ) will run it reasonably well. I realise that in large areas with lots of enemies it may slow down but other then that hopefully it will be OK.
Just a quick update on diablo 3 performance.
They updated the beta today and added a command to view FPS.
Base Model 2011 21.5" iMac
Maximum settings average 20-24fps normal, seems low now that i see the number, but to my eyes it ran just fine.
All Settings maxed except shadows on low, 30 fps
All settings maxed except shadows off, 35-40fps
I haven't tried running it on bootcamp. too lazy to install it, but I honestly don't think its going to be that much of a improvement. Maybe for some older models.
