Tbqh for the OP, just run it in DirectDraw. Or try tweaking some stuff like perspective. Also, you can try the windowed method...you can try searching for it here (I posted the method) or ill just post it in a bit.

When i turn off perspective my fps goes from 20 to 100 (my refresh rate) so that fixed that but on my x1900 gt i have never had this problem and was able to enable perspective. I noticed that when i enable perspective next to any light source (such as a torch in Act 3) the frame rate dips. Nvidia doesn't seem to know anything about this and we should email them about these problems. ALSO, when i have vsync on i notice that the game does stutter but the frame rate is always above 60.

Diablo 2 has vsync?
Well, perspective is gay anyways, imo.
Well, I guess you could email them and point to this thread and other google threads.

OR YOU CAN TRY MY WORLD FAMOUS WINDOWING METHOD!!:EEK::

1. Make a D2/D2:LoD shortcut onto your desktop
2. Right-click the icon, then go to Properties.
3. You will see this.
4. Add a space, then '-w' to the end of the highlighted line, like this.
5. Click okay, and run the game by clicking on the shortcut.
6. Enjoy windowed mode! I like it better like that

Hope that helps a bit. Helps me since I run at 1280x1024.

Cheers!

Edit: if you play in single player mode, take off any mods or hacks, and then click on the Battle.net button. It should automatically update you to the latest patch if needed. If you're on an older patch, that may fix your problem.
