Re: <1% read hit rate with Diablo 3

My system is i7 3770 + 8GB RAM + GTX 560 VGA so it should not be the bottleneck. I had my problem solved already: using RAM disk, no stutter any more except the need to init RAM disk with D3 files every time I start the game. Honestly, I had never expected such a quick and helpful support like you d...

Re: <1% read hit rate with Diablo 3

You meant FC cannot help much in my case and it is working by design? When you run Diablo 3 for the first time since the computer boot up, the D3 data will read from the disk and come to FC cache, as well as Windows cache. Next time D3 requests some data, if they are already in Windows cache, then t...

Re: <1% read hit rate with Diablo 3

Now I'm confused, if: 1. FC cannot intercept all read calls from Diablo 3 because of Windows cache OR 2. FC's caching algorithm does not work well with Diablo 3 access pattern (answers why < 1% read hit rate) OR 3. Performance Monitor dialog does not show actually data read and cached Er... I am sor...

Re: <1% read hit rate with Diablo 3

OK, I opened Performance Monitor of FancyCache and Process Monitor before running Diablo 3, then ran around, killed monsters in game for 5 minutes, here is the statistics, big discrepancy wrt read bytes reported by FancyCache (2MB) and Process Monitor (~1.1GB). See attached screenshots. Well, how ab...

Re: <1% read hit rate with Diablo 3

I did activate caching for all volumes in my system to check that and saw that data is read only from the volume I installed Diablo 3, other volumes showed 0 bytes of read bytes. I don't think that Diablo 3 only reads 100 MB from disk, is it possible that FancyCache does not intercept all read disk ...

Re: <1% read hit rate with Diablo 3

I knew that, I opened the Performance Monitor dialog before running Diablo 3, it was kept open the whole time I ran around in game (~5 minutes). You may say that 5 minutes is so short for FancyCache to do any significant caching but last time I did do the same test for around an hour of gaming and t...

Re: <1% read hit rate with Diablo 3

Result was the same, <1% with block size 4 KB. See attached screenshots for my settings and statistic.

<1% read hit rate with Diablo 3

Diablo 3 now suffers a lot from stuttering issue and Blizzard is promising to have a fix for this "soon". In the mean time, I tried installing the game on a high speed USB drive, the stuttering is alleviated somehow but it is still there, quite a nuance. Then I came up with the idea of usi...
