I can guarantee you that I have more friends than you.
Also I have more chicks than you. And I play WoW. I don't play it much but I play it.
Not all WoW players are cosplay nerds. When someone plays 5 hours CoD a day it's considered normal but when I play 2 hours WoW a day I'm a nerd? Yeah Right!
Weird by the way. I have a quadcore @ 2.4 ghz, a 295GTX, and 4 gb ram, but this MacBook runs it smoother. How is it possible?
@markdocker You spelt only wrong. I wouldn't have a problem with this if it were some other word, perhaps a more difficult word, but seriously. Who the hell spells only wrong?
uhmmm what's a native resolution, is that the highest resolution possible? im probably gonna by a 13" 2.4Ghz macbook pro soon and was wondering how it will run world of warcraft.
@kattskrall yeah and get some viruses, and deal with installing drivers, finding updates for the drivers when the company doesnt let u know there are updates. Hes recording and playing, so of course its gonna be a lower FPS, mine ranges from 57-116 depending on the area, and thats att max settings. "imma pc and i try to copy Mac, but fail, on almost EVERYTHING they do... even down to the same colour scheme..."
@IcemanExplorerNinja nah. installed win 7 64 bit. and a new fanless gpu. i havent rebooted for 20 days. What's this bs about not having drivers and getting viruses? Have you been living under a rock and/ or havent tried anything but win 98? I'd say mac have more compatibility issues than a pc. And i'm right. For proof just install steam and see what games are released to both mac and pc. Another thing is you can't crack shit on macs. But i guess you fags like paying the extra dough like a sucker
awesome clip. have any of you guys looked at the wow cheats pack at warcraftbotsXinfo (replace X with .) ? its incredible, i just down loaded it. its got completely every thing inside it, gold guides, bots, hacks, glitches and even the new arena glitch. i probably should not reveal to folks about this but at least this gives you all a fair opportunity to get it before i own all of you!
macbook pros are good laptops! good for the basics and stuff that normal people who dont use the computer a lot should have. it all depends what you like. 2k for a macbook is not worth it to me when i got my alienware m11x for 800
@JohnnyWony but it sounds like its specially built for gaming. i dont have one but it seems the macbook pro is kinda like it does everything, not exactly great but ok. and not really focused on one thing
Can someone help me? I have a 17macbook pro but when I ran WoW months ago it wasn't anywhere as smooth as this? Could it be that my internet provider is on reg dsl and not the gaming whatever bandwinth is it?
Can some one help me? tried to download WoW. When i chose where to download WoW, this error came upp "The file "/Users/Milan/Desktop/Play World of Warcraft.temp" could not be created. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (InstallerFile::Create)" can any one help me, i have tried all day...
what upgrades do you have on out 17inch macbook pro cause i'm getting 20fps in IF and about 11 in Dalaran and it's very choppy. That is running with no addons and I think I max resolution and very high settings... I'm wondering if you bumped up your model?
its prob ur hardrive, thats usually a bottleneck in computers, or atleast one of them, try upgrading to a solid state hardrive, or buy a back up hardrive to free up space on ur internal hardrive, because if its full, ur computer will slow down
fuck yeah it would run wow well the imac is pretty good for wow but of course with the imac 27 inch you will get around 60 or more fps because of the ati radeon 4850 but i suggest if you really want it to play well get the 27 imac
@tazmaster08 he we go another retarded child who thinks people buy mac for games...lol u kids (or a adult) are really pathetic...have you ever thought that maybe people buy macs for its programs like final cut....ooo i forgot you stupid let me make this clearer....Mac = Final Cut Pro Windows does not...DUMBASS
wait, im downloading mine right now on the same laptop, would WoW fuck up my laptop? cause everyone is saying dont do it in the comments, i have a MacBook Pro 17"
im thinking of buying one.. its expensive so im not sure.. it even plays wow ok! you could turn your shadows down a bit.. wont affect much.. and yeah freezing isnt windows fault.. ito spanishrock88.. it can be due to anything.. hardware..viruses.. overall pc's are rated better for gaming..
I have a Pro 17'' and I played WoW for 2 years but now I decided not to play. The game used to ruin my entire school life. But to be honest, I miss WoW a lot :)
@CkvMntr Lol I stop playing after 3 years when my son was born about a year ago. If it ruined your school life, imagine what it'll do to my son's life. lol. I do miss it as well. Waiting for my 15" to come on Monday. Can't wait.
Ok for gaming a Pc or a Macbook?.....Like my pc works but when it comes to Wow and certain places on wow like Orgrimmar it always seem to freeze on me a lot.
lol you guys notice the people are to small for the world? I have never played this game but that looks wierd the world is alot bigger than the people!
this is talking about laptops not desktops, you cant build a laptop, and even if you do, the mac will still run better, but it costs more, depends on your budget
A 15" macbook pro with 2.53ghz is more than enough, especially if you get the GT graphics, the 13.3" macbook aluminum can run it with 2.0ghz very well actually wtih all settings on high except shadows
nope, lots, of ppl play with it at higher anti aliasing, why is it dumb, the jagged lines look smoother and better, it looks alot better, unless your eye cant see the differrence, there are some people who dont, and some people who could have 4x AA and think it looks like shit and need 8x AA
Hey to everyone who are wondering if WoW plays good on a 17 inch macbook pro well you cant ask better got like 100fps where ever i want except dalaran and some city you just cant ask better it runs freakin great
hello mate i got a question well i got a budget of less then 1500 dollers but more then 1000 dollers and i wanted to get a mac for gaming like those games you download fro free from the internet but someone else made a vid here in you tube saying a PC is better do u know which is better PC or MAC?
i build my own computer with less than $1,200 and it pwn this. y spend so much for a imac when you ca get the same spec for way cheaper! wasteful people don't know computers! lol
wow don't watch in HD, it misleads the graphics because the video slurs and it makes it look like the mac is doing that. but when i re-watched the regular version it looked great!
gotta say love WoW on the mac book pro got it, with a 2.8 Ghz processor with 4 GB of ram and 500 GB HD it is so awesome upgrade from my old PC that i played WoW on that lagged every second and highest frame rate was like 30 but this one is 70+
for some reason it doesnt look like the shadows are on in the video, weird
i guess i kind of overestimate WoW's requirements to be on high, then again im using a 8600M GT for all my gaming so im kind of used to having to bump some settings down
to the maker of this video: did you switch the graphics processor before you started the game? the 17 inch macbook pro has a SEPARATE Nvidea graphics chip in it that is made for "high performance" apps. AKA games and video editing. you have to change it in the settings and this should run at like 40-50 fps on all high settings
Could you maybe upload a video of the same settings, but without the shadows? Shadows affect the framerate in WoW even more than resolution in most cases (no one is sure why). I'd like to see northrend on the 17" UMBP without shadows, because thats how I would run it.
yeah i know! its insane! i'm getting mine soon for college...after i configured it and added the student discount it comes to over 3 grand. But that's because i upgraded the hard drive speed and the processor as well as the anti-glare screen and the microsoft office software package...so i'm getting my money's worth
i recommend not getting microsoft office software package until you find out if your college offers it for free. i know that my university offers a LOT of microsoft software for free.
i really hope also that you didn't purchase a macbook pro 17" before apple's WWDC because they came out with updated ones (17" didn't really update but instead became cheaper).
I tested out WoW on my bro's MacBook Pro 15'4", the one before unibody. It ran amazingly well! I tried out Wintergrasp and at some points I got 100 fps with all settings set to max, and even got 100 fps while filming. NO lag at all!
I don't think it was the 8600. But I think I said wrong, not 100 fps WHILE FILMING, don't think so at least. But at least it hit over 100 fps with all settings to max while in Wintergrasp. I can guarantee!
Okay, it was the NVIDIA 8600M GT, 256MB. But I think it's really strange how extremely well the MacBook Pro runs WoW with that graphics card, with only 256MB! I would think you would only get about 40-50 fps with that card, but when you're getting 60-100 fps.. I have no idea, but it might be the system, Mac OSX Leopard. Or else it could be some damn good hardware, well, that's why Macs are pretty expensive, because it's using so good hardware. But I dunno...
with all the graphics all the way up?, how is it in raids, and in wintergrasp. im thinking of buying a new computer, and when i do im thinking of switching to mac
Yes but in his video, in the bottom middle section, there was a little counter showing the FPS. I wanted to get that, and it looks like it's part of WoW. And Fraps is only compatible with Windows.
I'm not bragging about anything. I'm posting these videos to help people who are looking to buy a MacBook and want to know how WoW would run on it.
I play WoW on my gaming PC almost every day. Matter of fact, I use my PC 90% of the time for everything. PC is my primary platform but I still love Apple laptops.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i love the fact that windows xp has over 90% marketshare and it's a bad OS. Nice. Everyone is the world is stupid right?
An OS is an OS, once you open an application and fullscreen it. It all looks the same. The beauty with Windows XP is that you have millions of third party software vendors. Why would you want to limit yourself to an expensive OS that doesn't have enough software...i would buy a mac but there are not enough softwares. I don't hate apple, just can't afford one and i love gaming
Can you please not start this Mac vs PC war here? I am PC fun, I have PC and Mac. Yes you can get better value for money on PC if you measure value in terms of raw computer power.And I appreciate that, I have Toshiba notebook, it was the best value for money at the time I bough one. If I wanted to get a cool portable the choice would be between Mac and Sony, pretty much the same price. If you want to fight superficial people you should insult Swiss watch lovers, D&G t-shirts lovers etc.
eternalkp is on a personal vendetta. This is like the 3rd video I have seen him in. LOL he must be really insecure about his choice. Kind of sad really.
HA! You are pretty wrong. Just because more people have them it doesn't make them better.. George Bush was elected? Was he the best? Hmm.. the majority is NOT always right.
I have a MacBook and I love it - I also use my Dell XPS for gaming - but only gaming. For every day use such as college work nothing beats Mac.
The reason their market share is so high and prices are much lower is that they are bigger, hence economies of scale yadda yadda. Apple just cant afford it - monopoly.
do you actually own a gaming laptop to make such comments? so dell, alienware, falcon nw, voodoo, sagers, etc... sell laptops that crashes every 10 minutes? what are we saying here dude?
Sager 9262 sells laptop with 2 9800gtx running SLI and desktop cpu Q9650 for a year now and they're doing quite well.
many companies over the years have cramped desktop cpu into laptops. this is nothing revolutionary. if you don't know anything about computer, buy a cute MAC
Dude... im getting one like next week, and this video is a total let down.. cuz 20 fps is seriosuly.. shit.. like... my old ps2 can do better than that.. wtf.. i thought wow didnt take a lot of graphic power,, wtf... and i was dreaming of running bootcamp and installing dawn of war 2 on it... shit.. not happening i guess
It's actually not bad while playing. In some games 20fps is bad, but in WoW it's definitely playable. It also varies, so it goes higher than 20 FPS at times. I'm assuming WoW will run better under Windows via boot camp. Also, WoW 3.1.0 is supposed to fix a lot of the Mac issues.
Your also forgetting that he's running at 1080p high def, 1920x1200 resolution. Thats quite a bit of memory, even wit h the 512MB's that 9600 has.
You'll find that the 15inch version running at 1440x900 will do a hell of a lot better considering its using the same graphics card and memory (2.53Ghz). That and you could just turn some minor settings and res down. High 3D dynamic shadows are a huge hitter on the OSX version of WoW. Turn that off and you should be lookin at a free 20fps.
the reason for the low frame rate is cos he is also recording the video while playing the game using the ingame mac recorder, i have a normal iMac with roughly the same specs and while using the recording software ingame framerates always drop to about 20 without recording framerates are roughly 60-80 fps, so with bootcamp running dawn of war 2 it should play very nice

for some reason it doesnt look like the shadows are on in the video, weird
i guess i kind of overestimate WoW's requirements to be on high, then again im using a 8600M GT for all my gaming so im kind of used to having to bump some settings down
jackpfree 2 years ago
yes the shadows are on.. look at the trees at the beginning... but in the cities its nornal there's not a lot of shadows except in a bright sunny day

to the maker of this video: did you switch the graphics processor before you started the game? the 17 inch macbook pro has a SEPARATE Nvidea graphics chip in it that is made for "high performance" apps. AKA games and video editing. you have to change it in the settings and this should run at like 40-50 fps on all high settings

woah that is awesome...
can i use right click though?? i know there are settings to do it with mac, but can I buy a right click mouse and use it with macS?
Immigrant312 2 years ago
the mighty mouse has right click, just enable it
Racemark123 2 years ago
Could you maybe upload a video of the same settings, but without the shadows? Shadows affect the framerate in WoW even more than resolution in most cases (no one is sure why). I'd like to see northrend on the 17" UMBP without shadows, because thats how I would run it.

yeah it starts at like 2000 for the 15 inch
with the lowest specs...
as you update can go all the way up to like 3500...

yeah i know! its insane! i'm getting mine soon for college...after i configured it and added the student discount it comes to over 3 grand. But that's because i upgraded the hard drive speed and the processor as well as the anti-glare screen and the microsoft office software package...so i'm getting my money's worth
moshXpit91 2 years ago
i recommend not getting microsoft office software package until you find out if your college offers it for free. i know that my university offers a LOT of microsoft software for free.

i really hope also that you didn't purchase a macbook pro 17" before apple's WWDC because they came out with updated ones (17" didn't really update but instead became cheaper).

I tested out WoW on my bro's MacBook Pro 15'4", the one before unibody. It ran amazingly well! I tried out Wintergrasp and at some points I got 100 fps with all settings set to max, and even got 100 fps while filming. NO lag at all!
HarryOgBandittene 2 years ago
Imposible. The 8600 cant pull off max wow at 100 fps especailly while filming
BrendanMurphy31 2 years ago
I don't think it was the 8600. But I think I said wrong, not 100 fps WHILE FILMING, don't think so at least. But at least it hit over 100 fps with all settings to max while in Wintergrasp. I can guarantee!
HarryOgBandittene 2 years ago
It was a macbook pro non unibody so it has the Nvidia 8600m GT. I have a better card and running it at 1920 x 1080 and getting 40 - 70 fps mostly 60

BrendanMurphy31 2 years ago
Okay, it was the NVIDIA 8600M GT, 256MB. But I think it's really strange how extremely well the MacBook Pro runs WoW with that graphics card, with only 256MB! I would think you would only get about 40-50 fps with that card, but when you're getting 60-100 fps.. I have no idea, but it might be the system, Mac OSX Leopard. Or else it could be some damn good hardware, well, that's why Macs are pretty expensive, because it's using so good hardware. But I dunno...

Was this prior to WOTLK? cause that would explain it
BrendanMurphy31 2 years ago
What do you mean with 'prior to' ?
HarryOgBandittene 2 years ago
Before WOTLK was released and everyone updated to 3.0 thingy. Because with WOTLK the graphics increased

you can buy a 17inch windows pc for $699. Great for college students.

The screen recording limits the FPS to 30. It's not that it can't reach higher than 30, it's that the screen recorder is forcing it below 30.

Some questions here: how do you get that thing that shows the FPS? And how do you start a movie recording in WoW?
MadBoyAstro 2 years ago
there is a program calls FRAPS that records and convert it to avi; it also shows how many FPS you're getting as you're playing the game.
eternalkp 2 years ago
Yes but in his video, in the bottom middle section, there was a little counter showing the FPS. I wanted to get that, and it looks like it's part of WoW. And Fraps is only compatible with Windows.

I'm not bragging about anything. I'm posting these videos to help people who are looking to buy a MacBook and want to know how WoW would run on it.
I play WoW on my gaming PC almost every day. Matter of fact, I use my PC 90% of the time for everything. PC is my primary platform but I still love Apple laptops.
Goldfingiz 2 years ago
Faster doesn't mean jack if the OS isn't built for non-IT. Windows is only good for gaming due to its user base. Doesn't make it a good OS.

i love the fact that windows xp has over 90% marketshare and it's a bad OS. Nice. Everyone is the world is stupid right?
An OS is an OS, once you open an application and fullscreen it. It all looks the same. The beauty with Windows XP is that you have millions of third party software vendors. Why would you want to limit yourself to an expensive OS that doesn't have enough software...i would buy a mac but there are not enough softwares. I don't hate apple, just can't afford one and i love gaming

Can you please not start this Mac vs PC war here? I am PC fun, I have PC and Mac. Yes you can get better value for money on PC if you measure value in terms of raw computer power.And I appreciate that, I have Toshiba notebook, it was the best value for money at the time I bough one. If I wanted to get a cool portable the choice would be between Mac and Sony, pretty much the same price. If you want to fight superficial people you should insult Swiss watch lovers, D&G t-shirts lovers etc.

eternalkp 2 years ago
HA! You are pretty wrong. Just because more people have them it doesn't make them better.. George Bush was elected? Was he the best? Hmm.. the majority is NOT always right.
I have a MacBook and I love it - I also use my Dell XPS for gaming - but only gaming. For every day use such as college work nothing beats Mac.
The reason their market share is so high and prices are much lower is that they are bigger, hence economies of scale yadda yadda. Apple just cant afford it - monopoly.

The Eurocom D900F?
Priced with equal components makes this laptop cost $4k+
The max ram available for the D900F is 8gb
Just because it specs well doesn't mean the hardware doesn't BSOD every 10 mins like every other gaming laptop.
Jadenlyn 2 years ago
BSOD, what are you talking about?
do you actually own a gaming laptop to make such comments? so dell, alienware, falcon nw, voodoo, sagers, etc... sell laptops that crashes every 10 minutes? what are we saying here dude?
Sager 9262 sells laptop with 2 9800gtx running SLI and desktop cpu Q9650 for a year now and they're doing quite well.
many companies over the years have cramped desktop cpu into laptops. this is nothing revolutionary. if you don't know anything about computer, buy a cute MAC

Frez121212 2 years ago
It's actually not bad while playing. In some games 20fps is bad, but in WoW it's definitely playable. It also varies, so it goes higher than 20 FPS at times. I'm assuming WoW will run better under Windows via boot camp. Also, WoW 3.1.0 is supposed to fix a lot of the Mac issues.
Goldfingiz 2 years ago
Your also forgetting that he's running at 1080p high def, 1920x1200 resolution. Thats quite a bit of memory, even wit h the 512MB's that 9600 has.
You'll find that the 15inch version running at 1440x900 will do a hell of a lot better considering its using the same graphics card and memory (2.53Ghz). That and you could just turn some minor settings and res down. High 3D dynamic shadows are a huge hitter on the OSX version of WoW. Turn that off and you should be lookin at a free 20fps.
Avrrow 2 years ago
Oh i see.. So this isnt native resolution? its actually higher??
Frez121212 2 years ago
The native resolution for the 17" is 1920x1200, and that's what the game was played at, so it is native.
The native resolution for the 15" is 1440x900.
Goldfingiz 2 years ago
I also did the same test on the 15" if you are interested, check my other videos.
Goldfingiz 2 years ago
the reason for the low frame rate is cos he is also recording the video while playing the game using the ingame mac recorder, i have a normal iMac with roughly the same specs and while using the recording software ingame framerates always drop to about 20 without recording framerates are roughly 60-80 fps, so with bootcamp running dawn of war 2 it should play very nice
