Yes, you are right bro... The macbook pro can play crisis, but it is not 1/4 as fun as with a tower. And it actually didn't overheat or crash, I usually turn up the fans to 6000+ rpm, before playing games.
macs dont overheat easily, the fans work along with these blocks that protect the logic board from heat, along with the fans, but the desktop models dont even have fans, their silent,
although the vans do work harder when running windows, cause windows is just not built properly and takes alot more to help it run
Now that's impressive for a 9400M GT video card. I found a PC laptop with the same video card from bestbuy and its cheaper then all the laptops I been looking at. :)
The only reason it plays well is because of 9600GT, READ the description!! 9400m is garbage. I have studio xps 13 with 9400mg since it my main ram is ddr3 its 33% faster than white macbook 13 inch... But this macbook pro uses 9600gt plus 9400m... 9400m is used to save power and both are used to play games and everything else. Im still glad I sold my mac( just my opinion) now i dont have to buy vista to install it on mac just so i can do basic things..
dude there r only a few hp gaming comps that work good, my friend bought one, it waz awsome, but one of the main reasons mac's can play crysis is because of its ddr3 RAM, ures maybe ddr2, so check, macbook 13 inch cant play on ultra high settings but medium high, so its ok
oh,mine is 9300m gs.well its been a while and i already done with it and unistall this game.lol,currently playing Hawx is not realistic as the ace combat but graphic and gameplay is awesome.
I'm assuming you ran this at 1440x900, no? Have you tried notching it down to 1280x800 to see if you get a little better frame-rate (maybe 20-35 fluctuation)? Just curiosity on my part.
You are talking about the new MBP 15 inch, the base model... mmm well crysis can run in the Macbook (previews gen (Late 2008)) which only has the 9400 card. Search youtube for videos of that. It runs much much slower and with less settings.
hey i have a couple question for you cuz i just purchased an mbp and i've been trying to bootcamp windows xp pro, vista, &7 beta but i cant connect to the internet on any of those, just which os did you use, oh and ive torrented all the ones i used.. did you actually purchase yours?
this laptop might not be pretty like a mac but it has a spectacular GPU. and read reviews from newegg. People play games with max quality at 1920x1080 resolution.
Anandtech shows that ATI 4870 x2 gets 35fps at 1920x1080 on VERY HIGH.
Octa core does exist -- if you know what the Core i7 is, it runs a virtual 8-core even though it has 4 cores, it uses multithreading, and is wicked fast =D.
The neat thing is that when they come out with the mobile Core i7 chips, they will be dual core, but will have multithreading for 4 cores... 4 Cores on HALF the energy!!! o.O *drools* - that's what i hope will be in the Macbook Pro
also, their actual 8 core Core i7 (for desktops) will have up to 16 core multithreading *droooools*
obviously octa cores exist, you can get over a hundred cores. but core i7 is not an 8 core. hyperthreading does not double the amount of cores, it simply splits each of them in two.
never mind, i saw that the macbook pro comes with two, thats awesome... do you think it would run okay with just the 9400m with the normal macbook, im planning on getting one. Let me know. THanks
Hmmm there is a Hudge difference between the 9600 and the 9400. This is my first laptop and my first Mac. I wouldn't change it for the world. I am completely happy with this laptop. I really recommend. (But it is not for hardcore gamers)
