It's definitely not your computer, D3 is an online title so you have to expect some form of lag. I get rubber banding in D3 all the time.

I mostly see that sort of warping after I unpause the game. It makes sense since you're allowed to move once you unpause the game; however, the capability to move is dependent on the server being unpaused. Chances are that the reason you see warping is because the server isn't ready to accept your movements yet, and it puts you back to where it thinks you are.

Your phrasing is confused as hell. But I think you might be referring to the fact that nvidia defaults to not modifying the game color saturation and AMD boosts it by default. you can turn off the boost on AMD or turn it on in nVidia

yeah sorry had to slam that post out quickly.
I tried turning down digital vibrance last night that helped.
I'll post a photo later and/or maybe a thread. I definitely miss the "correct" color representation on AMD cards, I swore I wouldn't buy nVidia again because of this problem. It was a nightmare on my 6800GT, 8800GT...

IIRC AMD are the ones who boost it and nVidia are the ones who give a correct color representation (by default)

I have an annoying inconsistent stutter in Diablo 3 on both my 6970 system and my 560 Ti system. Despite the fact that both machines are more than adequate for the hardware demands of the game, I get little blips every 3- 10 seconds as I walk around the towns and dungeons. From what I've read, this is probably related to loading sounds and textures or communicating with the Blizzard servers, not necessarily a GPU problem. But it's really annoying in any case.

Whenever I noticed it my HDD LED is going bonkers. Whatever coding is responsible for streaming textures, sounds, or whatever is awful. If I change a new skill and use it I get stuttering sometimes. If level loading stored a majority of these things in RAM from the get go it wouldn't be a problem, but this game plays like it is running from the hard drive and not the RAM sometimes.

I've caught it running through hords as well, I'll kill 40 guys and move forward and get shot half way back across a causeway or tunnel. Paused state makes some sense, when I first start up an in game session it stutters as if there's something being loaded even though my HD isn't making much of any noise while its happening. After that it plays fine with minimal issues more often than not, I definitely don't find it unplayable though.
