Counter-Strike Source C2D MacBook Pro WinXP

[Digadogup]

by the way.. having windows on your mac and running a pc game on it will give your extra fps and effects then if you were to use crossover games on mac osx.

[maxohpne]

these computer are so nice, I want one of them

[rmbrown09]

haha just dont ask what res this is on

[maxohpne]

the thing is not to play games, the ting is to be able to play games. If I wanted to play only games, I wouldn't buy one of these, it's just a plus

[rmbrown09]

i know, i just feel bad for people that spend the extra on a mac when you can run leopard just the same on a pc

[5thVictim]

What mac do u got? the 13 inch macbook?

[ZildjianUK666]

HALOOOOO MUSIC ;)

[n302012]

Congratz, Apple can now play 4 year old games.

[snip3r82]

look at the video date... lmao

[KingofComputing]

Get a mac Pro with 4 GT120's and put WIndows 7 64-Bit on it and you can play Crysis i guarantee.

[SorrZulan]

lol.. wtf 3 hands?

[ArcticSheep]

what settings?

[hoketero]

good portatil. boring video

[silvasoccer]

thanks for these videos. I'm getting a mbp after i come back from vacation and am really happy at what I am going to have in store for me with these games in Boot Camp. THe new mbps are even better then the ones with the radeon x1600 graphics card so I can't wait!

[cmurderyea]

just to give u heads up on vista, if ur planning on playing css on it lags incredibly to where the point u cant play, theres a program called VAL its vista anti lag its a google search, simple process thats stops the lag

[DylanDesign]

a 2003 benchmark running as low as 60fps...

[omgwut]

I'd say thats pretty good considering, you know, a refresh rate above 60hz isnt really necessary.

[joel4477]

hahahahahahaha.. macs

[bassy369]

if u got so many Halo soundtrack do u actually play the game? I hoope u make a vid of Halo 2 Vista when the demo comes out or if u buy it and if u have Vista which I think you have if this is the same vid or the half life 2 vid.:D

[EEVOL]

Ofcourse! I used to play Halo 2 on XBL all the time, now I only pick it up from time to time.

[bassy369]

you gonna get a copy of Halo 2 Vista? Its out in some Circuit City stores in the U.S. I so wanna see how the Macbook Pro runs it. Aussies got it 1st like 2 weeks ago, but Microsoft is off track and taking its time on a release date. It should be out early June. Some websites say 2morrow but I dunno. I live in UK so I just hope it gets her soon :P

[EEVOL]

I'll need to get Vista first before I get Halo 2. Right now, I'm holding off on buying vista. I'll get it eventually.

[InquisitorKiss]

meeerrrrr what u use to get css on a mc

[EEVOL]

BootCamp from Apple.

[InquisitorKiss]

[tombuckley91]

[germs95]

MacBook Pro 15.4" Core2 Duo 2.2GHz Santa Rosa, 2gb RAM, GeForce 8600m GT 128mb

this is my apple i play CSS and Crysis

[DanyBaron]

Whats the name of the song? Say plz!

[EEVOL]

The song is from the Halo 2 Vol. 1 Soundtrack, and it's called 'Heretic, Hero.'

[son1caaron]

Hey one more question for you, how do you find your mag safe power thing? Does it seem durable, because a lot of people complain about that? Thx again for these awesome videos!

[EEVOL]

I haven't had a problem with it yet. It's been a life saver and the mag safe does what it's suppose to do. I can't tell you how many times I've almost tripped over the power cord with my MBP on top the coffee table. Luckily enough, the mag safe comes off loose before my MBP drops on the floor.

[BeSublime]

After playing CS on the book did you notice any extra fan noise or heat when not gaming? My old laptop never stayed quiet after the first few hours of gaming on it, and I've regretted it since... trying to avoid the same problem on my MBP... =P

[EEVOL]

CS: Source/HL2 is a pretty GPU/CPU intensive game and my MBP would start to get warm about 30 mins into gaming and subsequently the fans would turn on to keep the system cool. Not a major distraction in my opinion.

[thugricanz]

Nice , imma get this mac book if ever need a notebook. :)

[flecky101]

how much was your notebook if you dont mind me asking?

[EEVOL]

Well in terms of US Dollars, it was originally for $2,450USD. It came with a student discount and other discounts which lowered the price to about $2100.

[syncopated84]

Nice one eevol!

Yeah i'm tryin to do the same, what other discounts made it get down to 2100? i get 200 off w/ student discount.

Have a good one buddy! :)

[EEVOL]

I had a friend that worked for an Apple Store.

[thugricanz]

oh nice 117 fps .^^

1280x1024 , all high .. AA x4 , AF x16

Good job eevol! :)

[sersoft2]

[jackattackx27]

[Phyk101]

Lol he admitted he wasent very good so why do you go on about it. get a life seriously!

[fallinSkater]

woo go fraps

[capo0709]

were all the setting maxed out?

[EEVOL]

Yes, but the resolution was at 1024x768.

[xzxandrewxzx]

WHY WOULD YOU WALK BACK TO SPAWN!!! lol i do the same thing im also a "no0b"

[Hurshai]

Would it be possible to show footage of DoD:S? Also, what were the average FPS after the stress test, I couldn't read the text.

[EEVOL]

I've been meaning to get a copy of DoD:S, when I do I'll make sure I make a vid. Oh, and at the end of the stress test it pretty much said that FPS averaged about 117FPS, this was with all effects on high with res at 1024x768.

[midnightor]

umm you suck lmao

[jackbresnahan]

EEVOL what settings have you got counter strike at?

[EEVOL]

1024x768 res with everything else turned up, I think -- I haven't really checked the settings out. I'd check but I'd have to reboot to XP which I'm too lazy to do right now.

[yNeville]

I'm waiting on my new MacBook Pro Core 2 2.33GHz. Does the current bootcamp include the Windows Drivers for the Graphics card in this model?

Also, is there apparently some power management tweak that helps it run cooler while booted into Win XP?

[EEVOL]

1.) Yes.

2.) Sort of, you can tweak power management to run it cooler, but if you're doing something task intensive, your MBP will run hotter, but if all you're doing is listening to music and surfing the web then the MBP will run cooler.

[iSjoerd]

And what are those when you play on the highest res? Thanks alot!

[iSjoerd]

EEVOL what are the specifications of that Macbook Pro you are using, and what are the fps when you play online? Thanks alot!

[EEVOL]

My MBP is 2.33GHz, 120GB 5400rpm, 2GB ram, Ati X1600 w/ 256MB vram. Without lag, I can get up to 60fps online.

[pgallagher61592]

i have bootcamp...but not windows on my mbp.... do i need windows to play...thankyou...and i wait for your answer...i was wonderin...have you tried virtuedesktops...

[EEVOL]

Yes you will need windows to play the game. Yes I have tried virtuedesktops, infact I have it featured on one of my fastswitching vids.

[chadillak]

What res are you running the game at? 1024x768?

[EEVOL]

Yep. :)

[kevnca]

I play CS Source all the time. I love the fluid motions.

[Victor5688]

one word. god

[leejae]

you're running this through bootcamp right?

[EEVOL]

Yep. :)

[WeBDaEMoN33]

Great stuff! Insane FPS there! My MBP has been shipped. The wait is killing me but your videos are keeping me entertained in the meanwhile! I can't thank you enough :)
