MacBook Pro 2011 17" Gaming: Dirt 3

[ShadowPony064]

Have you tried a 17" MBP with the glossy panel? How do the colour quality, white/black level(s), image sharpness and the viewing angles compare to it and the anti glare option?

[kasumisman]

why macs suck

[badeendjerob]

A nice an complete test, did you test BF3 also on this MBP? If so, what are the settings for playable FPS?

[videoforfriend]

would it work on my macbook pro 17" i7 with only 4gb RAM?

[JackNolanYoungMusic]

@videoforfriend Yeah dude, I've got a brand new late 2011 MacBook Pro 17 inch. It runs like a beauty on it. Its like, sex, but in some ways better :D

[dextern1]

how'd you connect your xbox controller to your computer?

[1990sandip]

How did you get the fps in the top left corner?

[MichaelDaeche]

G'day mate. Great video. Really demonstrates what that computer is capable of. I'm selling my old MacBook Pro for a new 17" and saw this video after searching for test shots with the machine.

How did you get that type of RAM inside a MacBook? I thought it only accepted Apple-made RAM and only clocked at 1,233Mhz?

Also, how do you think this machine would run GTA IV?

Cheers,

Michael D.

Do not put Windows 7 on a mac, you retard.

[Bananas138]

How come the 17" pro has a silver Bessel?

[cwbh10]

@Bananas138 The 15" (What I have) and the 17" can have Anti-Glare which provides aluminum slides. Colors wash out when not having the screen at the right angle but I think it is worth it if you work in a sunny environment a lot.

[Bananas138]

@cwbh10 ohhhh, its pretty nice !

[GICTechTV]

lower the shadow and u will get better fps

[utkarshshah92]

dude, could you go to run and type dxdiag and under display tell me your approx.total memory as i have the exact same specs with all bootcamp drivers installed but it still says 707mb

[Tomk916]

Mobile Cards do better with Shadows and Shader intensive things off,

[Tomk916]

LOL Skidmarks.

[ripp3roo]

thanks for the great video and settings ! But i have a problem, with your settings and with my macbook pro 2.2 15'' 1440x900 i get only average 29 fps in the benchmark test and lowest is 22fps. Are the lower results caused of that that you have faster, and more RAM memory?

[lfshannu]

thanks for the video, i just got even more exited for my mbp in the mail

[thepaintballer898]

does anti glare get annoying

[TechAndMore101]

@thepaintballer898 no,why would it?

[thepaintballer898]

@TechAndMore101

does the colors on the AG look funny or do you regret it? I love the look of the silver bezel and stuff so idk what to do

[TechAndMore101]

@thepaintballer898 i def dont regret it and the colors look perfect and I'm a photographer

[AnUnlikelySource]

@TechAndMore101 Did it get hot or over heat thats the only thing stoping me from buying one...

[TechAndMore101]

@AnUnlikelySource it gets extremely hot but never to the point where it turns off.

[Tomk916]

@TechAndMore101 Its going to get hotter to the touch because its aluminum, and ive also noticed it runs warmer in windows than OSX

[Akantorz12]

@TechAndMore101 How do you enable sound for Bootcamp? The only way I can hear the sounds is by using headphones. :(

[AnUnlikelySource]

@AnUnlikelySource tomorrow im picking up and 17" macbook pro 17" antiglare... hahah 

[DriftEJ20]

@thepaintballer898

I actually saw an AG Macbook Pro today at my work for the first time. The colors look much better than you'd imagine. Basically, there is a little bit less "perceived" darkness of the black levels, but I've heard that shadow detail is actually better on the anti-glare (i.e. when you're looking at someone with dark brown hair in a video you can actually see the highlights and shadows).

[xxBIoodBIadexx]

@thepaintballer898 colors on antiglare are the real colors that professionals need

[Killery96]

You gonna be doing more videos soon?

[lolfredlolfredlol]

I have the 15" with basically the same specs without the upgraded RAM, is upgrading the RAM worth it?

[TechAndMore101]

@lolfredlolfredlol yea for me it really is. but dont get the one from apple. but from new egg or some retailer similar.

[lolfredlolfredlol]

1866mhz RAM? is that compatible in this machine?

[TechAndMore101]

@lolfredlolfredlol yes it is

[dinnerandashow]

Just skip to 3:56

[S33DARTH]

@dinnerandashow Thanks for the heads up. :)

[dinnerandashow]

@S33DARTH

No problem...

I also have the MBP 17". The 6750m seems a bit too weak for intensive 3d games.

Especially considering my desktop PC gets average 147 fps under the same max setting as his first trial.

Even with multisampling at max I get about 97 fps.

[Killery96]

Next vid is C2 or Black Ops?

[TechAndMore101]

@Killery96 call of duty black ops is up right now, crysis 2 is uploading now

[TechAndMore101]

@soapzh thank man im going to upload another video tonight, that one should be up by 12am eastern time.
