I am attempting to run the game Diablo II Resurrected under Bootcamp on my
iMac.

My iMac is a iMac(Retina 4 K, 21.5 -inch) with fittings shown below.

Requirements Actual

Windows 10 OK with Bootcamp

Nvidia GTX 660 Radeon Pro 555X 2Gb
or
AMD Radeon HD 7850

8 Gb Ram Fitted

30 GB HD space 440 + GB available

Resolution 1280 x 720 OK

It is running, but very slow and drags terribly. Could one of the Gurus on
this NG tell me where I'm deficient and whether the spec of the iMac could be
improved.

Maybe with a 2019. machine it's not worth upgrading and I should sell it and.
buy new. If so, I would like to know.

Peter

I’ve seen some reports which suggest that Diablo will run on an Intel Mac
using Wine (free) or Crossover. If so this would negate the need to use
Bootcamp.

I think your graphics card is underspecced. According to this page the
Radeon Pro 555X is ~30% slower than the Radeon HD 7850.
