  • LOL.. MAC OpenGL is outdated... Windows and Linux is always updated..

  • Anyone notice he has 14GB of RAM on a 32 bit system?

  • Yeah, Open GL is the territory of mac!

    And what about Linux and Windows support Open GL 4.0 and Mac Osx only the 3.2 with Lion?

    Mac osx in terms of graphics sucks.

  • Yeah, Open GL is the territory of mac!

    And what about Linux and Windows support Open GL 4.0 and Mac Osx only the 3.2 with Lion?

    Mac osx in terms of graphics sucks.

  • Unfortunately, he left out the part that Cinebench is made by MAXON, which means it has the same AR engine that Cinema 4D has, and every veteran user of C4D knows that OpenGL scores have always been better on the Windows side for some time now, assuming both machines being compared have identical, or near identical GPU's.

    OSX has been slower due to limited GPU selections and outdated OpenGL.

  • @AppleSoldier Get over it. 8800 GT was costing the same as a GTX 460 today. Your Mac would cost many times higher than the PC.

  • These are OpenGL scores. Most PC games use DirectX. I have a mac, and I must say, PC's are infinity times better for gaming. Go do the test with DirectX. OH WAIT, MACS DON'T FUCKING HAVE DIRECT X!

  • @Futureshopmac "MACS DON'T FUCKING HAVE DIRECT X!" Like that is a minus :D Nothing have stupid DirectX except MS Windows and Xbox.

    "PC's are infinity times better for gaming." WRONG !!! Mac was always been better for gaming but people like you only count quantity not quality. Every Game that i tried on both platforms are better on Mac.

  • @AdrianoCROST excuse me? are you retarded? Opengl is inferior to Direct X

  • @Pikacharve Retard neither OS except Windows don't have DirectX so it's stupid to count that as some minus and look at game quality trought DirectX.

    Second OpenGL is not too much behind D3D in funcionality so end user don't see a difference in finished product and when you count high portability of OpenGL you have a winner and that is not DirectX or better to say Direct3D. You are really retarded if you think that XXX API mean better graphic, better game or better gamng platform.

  • @AdrianoCROST Like that is a minus? Dude I have a fucking macbook and mac pro, ill show you a video if you want to. Direct X is a lot more powerful than Open GL. A lot of games run using direct x. I get consistently better performance on my bootcamp partition using Direct X 9 than on mac. And my windows 7 which has Direct X 10 looks phenomenal. Its a huge minus. And give me one way macs are better than PC's for gaming

  • @Futureshopmac and dont get me wrong i use macs for everything. In my opinion, they are better at everything EXCEPT gaming. They might be great gaming machines (i personally dont think so), but they are not better than equivalent priced PC's at gaming

  • Applesoldier=professional troll.

  • Idiot, if you get the best preformance of open gl when not runnning any programs it meeans ram does effect it....

  • He ACTS like he knows alota shit... but he donsnt

  • "OpenGL? That's A Macs Territory" News for you mate, its Linux's to!

  • @SahLehron

    Yeah but macs and windows have a ton more functions than Linux :P

  • @Andre35822 the only thing linux can't do is games, and even then, there are still a good few games on linux. Other than that Linux can do anything windows and mac can do.

  • @SahLehron linux can do games with emulators, like Wine. my Cod 2 Works in it 8)

  • now how about the price?

  • but 32 bit technology can take up to 4 gigs of RAM.how the hell do you have 14?

  • @staticrubber

    Mac OSX = 64bit

    His program = 32bit

    :)

  • Applesoldier, check out the truth about OpenGL vs Directx down at the related videos on the right.

    CGCA915- RE: Mac vs PC: The Emeek77™Show - OpenGL vs DirectX

  • I had open GL on my PC since Intel Pentium S

  • See the truth, difficult to Find a Mac that is beating any Win 7 machine with similar or lower hardware

    cbscores dot com

  • This guy knows most GPU's have OpenGL right? So you can use OpenGL on windows.

  • @ ti the wrong person lol, sorry trecool9992

  • @trecool9992

    Quadro is basically the consumer card but with ECC ram and a couple different features, there identical fermi cores

  • I somehow laugh when people go:

    "Macs can't run .exe they suck"

  • OpenGl although faster is less than the updated directx and uses less advanced technology (fact)

  • @Machado270 Errr, no.

    "Less advanced technology (fact)" especially.

  • @trecool9992 i dont understand

  • @Machado270 No, you don't.

    OpenGL uses no less advanced technology than DirectX.

  • @trecool9992 yes opengl use less advanced technology than directx this is my opnion

  • "OpenGL? that's a macs territory" Do you Mac Fags really never acknowledge Linux? I can understand PC not acknowledge it, Windows is based on NT. But OS X is based on the failed NExT which was a copy of BSD Unix. So Linux and OS X are cousins.

    PS your computer sucks

  • wth, 14gigs on a 32 bit OS? 32 bit can only see 4 gigs of space. *shrug*

  • @GhostOfACPast There's PAE (Physical Address Extension). Google it :)

  • @GuerrillaMonkey Was going to say the same thing! :)

  • having more than 6gb of ram actually slows down your system if you're using dual or single memory channel

  • 14GB on a 32-bit? That's just dumb, since 32-bit only supports up to 4096MB..

  • @RischelBoy

    Nope osx is a mach OS, through some type of computing magic it can accesses 32 gb on osx.

  • @RischelBoy

    hes using PAE, and 32 bit theoretically supports 4gb but its more like 3.3gb. i agree, its still dumb to use 14gb on a 32 bit system (or just having 14gb in general) but it is possible

  • @schmidtbag It supports 3584 (or is it 3072?) Mb RAM as it reserves 512 (/1024)Mb, for the video card.

  • @RischelBoy OK no GTX, what does ATI have that even stands a chance against GTX which is Nvidia's best card it cost 650$, and ATI's best card cost nearly 800$ so you do the math smart one (BTW no ATi card has 480 cores in it )

  • @zasx20 Best be trolling dude, 'cause that's THE dumbest thing I've ever heard...

    Do you mean the "Fermi" cards (GTX 4**)? The HD 5970 is the most powerfull card in the world.

  • @RischelBoy You best be trolling. The 5970 is faaar from the most powerful card in the world.

  • @trecool9992 It's a dual-GPU card, so in a way you could say that the GTX 480 is the best SINGLE-GPU card in the world, the 5970 is still winning over the GTX 480, though. Well, soon the rest of the 6*** series will be out.

  • @RischelBoy No, you are still far from the most powerful card in the world.

    The most powerful cards in the world belong to NVidia and are part of the Quadro series of cards.

  • @zasx20

    Ati cards do have more then 480 cores, but you have to realise that nvidia cards and ati cards work Differently, Nvidia cards use General Purpose cores, these can ofc process anything, Ati cards use specilised cores, so some for shadeing some for rendering the acctual object(not as clued up on this stuff as i used to be), but anyway, my point is, a specilised core is alot better at its task then a general purpose one, sometimes one company is better then the other at a certain task.

  • Direct x is winows teratory and they copied it!

  • By the way ATI sucks nvidia is were it at

  • @zasx20 By the way, you're dumb. ATI is cheaper than nVidia and makes quality cards too. For the time being, I would prefer a ATI over a nVidia, but maybe nVidia get's in the fight again?

  • Funny windows has a very old version of open gl or cl or whatever the graphics enhaver for macs is... And it been around for 10 + years it's called directx

    Pwnd

  • using a pae kernel?

  • OpenGL is not Mac territory. Never will be. OpenGL was not designed specifically for Mac. OpenGL is free, made for all platforms that support it. Windows uses OpenGL also, that is, if the game has it featured. OpenGL is used on almost every game console (except XBox of course) including PS3. OpenGL is shown best on Linux.

  • @danielnathana

    Nope It was written for UNIX optimized for unix

  • @rollokb2 Please research before you lie.

  • @danielnathana

    i'm a huge linux fan (i'm using it right now) but i'm aware that opengl doesn't perform the best on linux. opengl performs about equally on all systems - windows, mac, linux, freebsd, and all game consoles. opengl is heavily impacted by drivers.  opengl in linux right now is better than in mac but still sucks compared to windows or gaming consoles, and its because of the changes related to HAL

  • way the go girl !!!! ;P

  • You know its the Graphics card ATI will best nVida on Mac's when taking on OpenGL almost every time I have a Mac Pro. My ATI 4870 is Faster on Pro Apps then my nVida 8800GT & GTX 285. OpenCL is what I know will matter

  • Comment removed

  • @Dark9204

    lol what a fuckwit aye, 12 gigs on a 32bit system there probably rusting in their

  • i tried to install assassins creed on my mac and got this

    "Video hardware acceleration is currently disabled due to safe mode operation or a driver error.

    Please ensure you have a working OpenGL Hardware Renderer and try again."

    can anyone help?

  • @STATUSthesleepers

    assassins creed it directx not opengl

  • @nzcookiemonster then why am i getting that warning when i try to install it?

  • @STATUSthesleepers

    because you are using mac osx you fucking dibshit.

    assassins creed is a pc game .

    you either need to buy a pc or load up windows 7.

    these games are made to only work for windows.

    do a bootcamp and install 2 operation systems/.

    fucking retard omg.

    are you that thick? a game that looks as good as assassins creed will be directx which your OS doesn't support or use/.

  • @nzcookiemonster listen you fuckin piece of shit scumbag, i downloaded a MAC VERSION of assassins creed, its not an exe install you fuckin waste of sperm piece of dog shit faggot. its a dmg for christ sake you FUCK

  • @STATUSthesleepers

    well thats your problem. theres no such thing as a mac version and you would have to remake the whole entire game again which they would'nt do just to make it work on open gl you retard.

    open gl and directx are fucking completely different things.

    retard...

  • @nzcookiemonster i know theyre different things you fuckin idiot i wasnt debating that at all, the fact is that i have assissins creed FOR MAC YES FOR MAC ITS A .DMG FILE you fuckin useless faggot and when i got it it said FOR MAC so fuck a fat dick bitch ass motherfucker

  • Its okay, just leave it. You'll find people like Nzcookiemonster who don't know what they're speaking about, and begin aruging about crap they don't have any clue about.

  • @EverythingISTech

    well ok i checked youtube, and google, there no such thing as assassins creed for mac lol. fail you probably got a fake file or virus lol XD hahahaha

  • HAHAHA Im not even talking about ASSASSIN's CREED. Im talking about the fact that you think you know soo much and critizie people about what platform they use. YOUR AN IMMATURE KID WHO KNOWS CRAP

  • @EverythingISTech

    wow kid you're the shit head who doesn't know what there talking about, you claimed mac book pros are going to be having the i7's first well actually there going to be last to have them and also you quoted that the new design will be coupled with the i7 chip but actually the mobile i7 chip is thicked then 1 inch so mac will have to re think and re design the mac books to fit an i7 processor.

    please you do not know a thing kid

  • @nzcookiemonster Cool here she goes again

  • @EverythingISTech YEAAAAAA I'll have what hes having lol

  • @nzcookiemonster Macs dont get viruses u retard

  • yes it does retard. Macs don't get Windows viruses, it gets Mac viruses. One example is a rootkit. Learn what a rootkit is, it's considered a virus in some cases.

  • @EverythingISTech yea they just want someone to accually notice their comments because all they do all day is sit in front of their computer screen and think "who can i piss off today for fun"

  • lol yepp

  • @nzcookiemonster

    > a game that looks as good as assassins creed will be directx

    Ahem...

    - PS3 uses OpenGL.

    - Compatibility layers for using windows/directx programs on OSX and Linux exist.

    - Windows is not more suitable for gaming than Macs or linux. It's a marketing issue, not a technical one.

  • The problem is that the gaming companies code these games with Windows in mind.

    Raw benchmarks are nice, but the sad truth is that coders write their programs for Windows, not Linux or Mac. I use Linux for everything except gaming and movies with 5.1 (or 7.1) surround sound (I'm too lazy to set up ALSA for more then two speakers).

    Its like with PS3 games. The PS3 is super fast, but the games are mostly ports from XBox. Hardware isn't the only issue.

  • The funny part is that Windows supports both OpenGL and DX11, whereas Mac OS only supports OpenGL. Only DX allows Stereoscopic Video, however, and is much more efficient as well as being a dream to program for.

  • 6125- 64bit R10 Cinebench OpenGl

    anything else you want me to beat while listening to music and playing the left 4 dead 2 demo?

  • on what graphics card? and what os?

  • tri gtx 285 sli 2gb versions

    windows 64bit ultimate though it is the same scores on 7 ultimate 64bit and windows xp media center 32bit

  • 14 gb of worthless ddr2 rofl

  • he does video editing on the final cut suite, watch his tutorials

  • lol why do you have so much ddr2? The whole point of RAM is to be quick and it doesn't have to be much, you'll never use all that!

  • Emeek is the new CWC of youtube. Obsessive posting vids and trolled to the end.

  • OPENGL = Mac territory?

    WHAT!!!

    Hell no

  • Dude if you ever take up acting, email me and i can use you in my game. wicked accent :) lol

  • My 2 year old Hackintosh just scored just over 5000 points in the OpenGL test.

    And I'm only running one Nvidia 9600GT.

    Okey, so your Mac Pro beat me by 100 points or so.

    But my rig probably cost me half of what that Mac Pro cost you.

    It wouldn't cost too much to run 2 9600's in SLI. But then I probably would be limited to running XP.

    No point in that. ;)

  • Your rig would be way less than half of his hahah!

  • Holy shit was it like $20,000?

  • here is a video responce to his video, to show that PC's own the fuck out of his computer. watch?v=p0OnB0Ihb6w

  • it might not increase your scores with that ram but thats REDICULOUS lmfao, props dude

  • you might be reydneyk

  • 14GB of RAM? Isn't there a maximum around 4GB?

  • With a 32-bit OS the limit is 4GiB.

    With Physical Address Extension the OS can map [IIRC] 36-bit memory addresses, allowing for upwards of 4GiB.

  • So explain to me how I can obtain 14GB of RAM on my Macbook.

  • I don't think you can on a Macbook.

    You're limited by the number of SO-DIMMs you can physically install, and the density of available SO-DIMMs.

    The Mac Pro benefits from using riser cards and FB-DIMMs.

    You can see some good information about them on one of MrBit10's videos:

    watch?v=ZIyOHZ5musU

  • Those 'limits' you're talking about are a load of shit. I've seen 32-bit OSes address upwards of 64GB of RAM.

  • Such as?

  • Well, FreeBSD and Windows 7 as well as Unix-based systems support it.

  • And you're absolutely certain these were 32-bit versions of those OSes?

    Also, are you sure they were addressing that much RAM, and not just seeing that it's there?

  • If i remember correctly its not a 4GB limit but a 2GB limit, and its not on total memory but the amount of memory that can be addressed by a single process. Not a single App but a single process running in the app. With PAE this can be raised to 3GB but can cause stability issues.

    64bit OS can address 64gb per process if i remember right. So having 14gb on a 32bit OS is pretty pointless. but then again most people would have no need for that.

  • opengl is a linux territory..and it not about the scores/points its about how well the developers use it ;)

  • Oh look at that, the guy still runs an ancient 32 bit(!) operating system, how funny!

    Oh well, back to me Photoshop CS4 64 bit on my 64 bit OS.

  • Mac OS X 10.5 is natively 32-bit, but when loaded on a 64-bit environment will automatically detect and load 64-bit extensions. Snow Leopard changes this, I believe.

  • 9126 with a Quadro FX 1700 on my BOXX.

  • hello. happy halloween everyone!

  • Why on Earth are you using 14GB of RAM, what do you possibly need that for anyhow. It's not even good RAM, you have a large amount of DDR2 @ 667 MHz. You'd me much better investing in a Mac that supports DDR3, and have less RAM but at a better higher speed. Seriously that's a waste of money, 667 MHz isn't even good for DDR2 RAM. I'm not trying to bash you or anything, but seriously why have so much RAM if it's going to be slow anyway.

  • Since when is 667 MHz DDR2 RAM slow? Do you NOTICE a difference between the two?

  • DDR2 RAM is slow, standard DDR3 runs at about 1333MHZ. Yes, you can notice the difference.

  • I'm sorry, I think that's between your ears. So because there are 3 GHz Core 2 Duo's, does that mean 2 GHz Core 2 Duo's are slow? Absolutely not. Same goes for RAM. 667 MHz RAM is fast enough for most of the people.

  • You're missing the point anyhow, I was pointing out all the rest of his hardware is really good yet his RAM is the bottleneck in his system. Running RAM at that frequency is not smart because it is bringing down the systems performance. Too much RAM can actually slow a system down too because the CPU has to manage it.

    Trust me I've seen macbooks running 2.5 GHz dual cores with 2GB of RAM @ 800MHz and they are slow to load itunes, quicktime and MS office applications.

  • Ever considered the speed of the hard disk of the MacBooks? They are not that fast, so I personally don't think it's the RAM causing iTunes to start up slow. There are also other possible causes such as a big library etc.

  • Yes they are 5400 rpm for the majority, wasn't generally talking about start up speed. But I'm going to make an analogy to simply express what I'm saying.

    Emeek's computer is like a Ferrari with $50 tires. It may have a lot of speed but is limited because of the tires. Just like how Emeek has a good cpu, video card, hard drivers, but he has dodgy RAM.

  • Don't forget, his Mac Pro is, as far as I know, the 2006 Mac Pro. During that time, most PC's or Macs had 667 MHz RAM. His chipset may not even be able to handle faster RAM.

    About Office, Office for Mac is slow by nature. Has nothing to do with RAM. ;-)

  • That's a fair enough comment. Didn't realise he'd had it that long. AT the time I suppose there wouldn't be much faster RAM around. Still if it was a PC you'd pick up a good new ddr3 capable board and 4GB ddr3 RAM @ 1333 MHz for 400 bucks.

  • Are you seriously trying to say that 14GB OF DDR2 @ 667 MHz is SLOW! Are you crazy? i have 2GB of DDR2 @ 800 MHz and it's pretty fast. Emeek may have lower speed but he definetly doesn't have "slow" memory.

  • LOL. 2GB pretty fast is it, you obviously don't use your computer much.

  • @ljscott1990

    He said his mac is 3 years old. :/

  • Hah, I saw the video response where the guy with the 8800 GT (watch?v=XhZXEA4HsI8) outbenched the 3870.

    Don't want to be proven wrong, Eric?

  • Open GL and leopard go together. windows dont even use it in their core.

  • windows dont even use it in their core. - IMPMAC

    They use DirectX, no surprise. Personally I wish MS would of went with GLIDE, kicked OpenGL's azz back some time ago. Gawd I miss Voodoo cards...

  • I remember using OpenGL with a 486 DX2

    The most advanced for gaming is Direct X, that's the direction M$ went. OpenGL, is more clouding thinking processors with firmaware.

    SO who's better? Do you game, or do you want to video edit?

    What if you want both? two partitions, or boot camp for you Mac users

  • RAM is how many App's you can open.

  • and to some degree opens your applications faster.

  • I tried in 32 bit, and I got 4972 in open gl on my 9600m gt. this program is weird.

  • My Macbook Pro scored 5378 :D

  • I restarted my MBP and got 5637, I'm pretty happy with that :)

  • OpenGL doesn't magically run better on a certain platform as some people believe. It is based off video card and computer specs. Like for example: I got 6900-7000 score in OpenGL crushing most scores out there with an ATI 3870 and 3Ghz dual core CPU E8400.

    Hey to those people who say Mac's can't run games, you are wrong.... You have to install Windows on a Mac to run those games. Pfft... PC newbs..

  • And how is that a reasonable value proposition in any way? You're buying a Mac and then buying Windows... ugh, why not just buy a quality PC for that money?

  • And how is that a reasonable value proposition in any way? You're buying a Mac and then buying Windows... ugh, why not just buy a quality PC for that money? - thebsdguy

    This was meant as a simple sarcasm toward PC and Mac users, don't take it literally. However, OSX can play games just that the games I've seen played on a Mac's usually has windows on it. Anyway, majority of Mac users who do game are on a console anyway. I don't blame developers for not making more games on Mac, little demand.

  • I've got a Mac Pro myself, with the 8800GT with 512MB VRAM in it, and i get a score of 5961.

    If you don't believe it, i'd be glad to make a video response for you.

    Still, keep it up. I always enjoy your Mac vs Pc videos, so don't see this as an insult.

  • My 2008 Mac Pro scored with a 512MB 8800GT (6549) but i'm planning to upgrade to a 512MB ATi 4870 GDDR5 GPU when the upgrade kit gets off the 4-5 week delay and i'm planning to do a retest once I get it installed

  • wow.. another pc cockhead got owned.. lol.. keep em coming

  • How so? Did you see fedor1fan's video? an 8800GT performed better with a worse processor.

  • it is an open gl test, which means the graphics card is what matters, and cinebench plays favorites with graphics cards. like how does a 8600m gt run better than a 9600m gt? the 9600m gt is 40% faster and it gets a worser benchmark. It is just a stupid program. run real programs side by side, not synthetic benchmarks. it also a little processor dependent but it is mostly about the gpu, and chipset.

  • this vid proves another point. These cards perform as good ina m ac as a pc gaming rig.

  • Too bad Macs can only run Games For Macs which is gay shit like Roller Coaster Tycoon.

    And a 3870 is nowhere near what I would consider a "gaming rig"

  • i have a GTX260 lul @ u all

  • I hate to say it but fedor1fan posted a video of getting a higher score on openGL. running windows with an 8800 GT. As for me, I'm running a dual core 3.0 GHZ, 4 Gigs of RAM and an 8800 ultra and I got a 4777 as my score. I'm guessing Dual core puts the speed down a lot.

  • As for me, I'm running a dual core 3.0 GHZ - 0m3n1337

    Is your dual core the E8400, just wondering, trying to compare mine to another similar spec. Video card I'm using is the ATI 3870, got up to 7000 OpenGL score.

  • i use it too but im not overclocked etc. If you get 700 on a stock 3870 than i need t seea video before i believe it.

  • It's an E6850, blacksteel.

  • It's an E6850, blacksteel. - 0m3n1337

    Ok thanks, that's technically the same processor except for a die shrink and maybe a little more L2 Cache.

  • IT WAS OVERCLOCKED ETC!!!!

  • Funny thing here. I actually owned that fedor1fan guy by getting a score above 6000. Check my last video response to this video.

  • i have posted proof that the 8800gt is better than the 3870. - fedor1fan

    If better in the sense of that series of Nvidia video card failing, then yes... it knows how to do that and very well.

  • Just for fun I did this OpenGL Cinebench 10 on a Dual core E8400 @ default clock speed 3.0Ghz, 2GB of Ram, and ATI 3870 same video card as you Eric.

    Score: 6977

    I even have anti-virus running in the background. I'm not saying my computer is better than yours Eric, just saying performance with OpenGL is better.

  • I have got a 2.66ghz iMac with a 9400 and it scored 4630 on the OpenGL!

  • the fuck you need 14 gigs of ram for?

  • do some 3d modeling and youll see.

  • what are you modeling, the entire city of new york on real scale?

    I've did some modeling in the past but never even reached 512mb

    And I also make mechanical parts using modeling software, still not even close to 512mb

  • I just tried this on my iMac with a 512 MB 8800 GS, which should be slower than the 8800 GT, and got a 5899. How's that?

  • the point is MUTE because your on a mac!!! Im glad its High. HIGHER THAN any 8800 on a pc and make a video showing us proof because i cant believe you till i see a video. HOWS THAT?

  • No, Cinebench is platform agnostic and the benchmark scores should be consistent across platforms.

    Macs don't magically make the video card render faster, stop lying.

  • its not 64bit cinebench. CINBENCH dont see 64bit on the mac. PC it does.

  • Actually you have got a 8800GT but it is slightly under clocked for heat reasons inside the iMac, Apple addressed it as a GS because of this but it is actually a GT!

  • if an underclocked 8800 GT beats his card, why wouldn't a non-underclocked do the same?

  • I don't know? That is a very good question and I did some googleling but no one knows!

  • My macbook broke 4k on cinebench, not bad, not bad at all

  • no ,not at all bad. Actually pretty Good.

  • Wow dude. I just ran OpenGL for shits and gigs on the following system:

    e6750 at 3.8ghz (that's a core2duo, you inbred fuck)

    4gb 840mhz ddr2

    512mb 4870, self-overclocked

    I got a 7093. I paid $900 for this computer, including two terabyte HDDs, Asus P5Q-Pro motherboard, case, custom cpu cooler, 700watt power supply, 22" monitor, 5.1 speakers, Logitech G5, Saitek Eclipse 2, a racing wheel, external hard drive, Sennheiser 212 Pro's, and a few other small things.

    Enjoy your piece of shit mac lol.

  • And I would much rather be called a PC fanboy than waste a shit ton of money on an Apple. Don't forget that I'm the guy with OSX 10.5.6 running on a DELL Mini 9. ;)

  • osx running on a dell? MAC POSER. If you want a mac go buy one. You keep your 900 dollar race car. I stick to my Luxury Rolls Royce. Something that dont ride like a wooden wagon. LOL.

  • I only put OSX on it to make faggots like you shut up. Apple convinces you that only their machines are powerful enough to run OSX, yet a 1.6ghz Atom processor with 2gb of 533mhz ddr2 can run OSX butter smooth.

    If you really want me to make a video of my OpenGL scores, I will. Just to show you that the money you spent on your computer is a waste. Go ahead, say that you have the "most advanced OS out there" okay? Build a more powerful and cheaper PC and install OSX.

    get owned.

  • Does that make people who run Windows on a Mac a PC poser? Holy shit there's a lot of PC posers.

  • no it means your doing something )hack) illegal so you can have mac stuff. It it was legal than so be it BUT ITS NOT!

  • I still don't see what it being illegal has to do with anything. If you go out and pay $100+ for Windows so you can put it on your mac, how does that not make you a PC poser while running Leopard on a PC makes you a Mac poser? What does the legal status of it have to do with anything?

  • it is a waste to argue that macs are better for graphics, when those pc's have the best graphics card.

  • graphics is to broad a term and the gpu doesn't mean the best. Mac pros can get the 4870 also. As well as the imac getting the 4800 series as well. Im talking about opengl. Apple is better at openGL, windows embraces teh proprietary DirectX. If they used OpenGL everyone could play, including macs. But MS wants to keep its propitiatory lock on the market.

  • maybe, but you can run Open GL pretty well on a pc, but for games usually you are going to be using direct x. I think mac's may be a little better at open gl, but it depends the program, because some applications are written better for windows than the mac that are cross platform, but for the most part open gl is faster on a mac, but comparing the 8800gt to the 3870 is kind of cheating because the 8800gt is better. a better comparison is to both have the same 4870.

  • your pc is similar to mine, but im not overclocked. and running an Intel Q9300 Quad core.

    The PC cost £700, and the graphics card £200 at the time. And it came with 1Tb Internal and 500Gb External.

    That is value for money, and there is nothing this PC can't do. And almost all of the parts are alot cheaper now.

  • i understand but a 700 dollar pc cant compare to a mac pro. Its like comparing a beefed up mustang to a Ferrari. They both do what you want, they both go from A to B. They both have v8's and they both have 4 wheels. But thats as far as it goes. There are differences. just because you have about the same parts dont mean its the same machine.Apple logicboards are custom from intel, you cant get them. How can I make it any more plane?
