Prey Demo on Mac Mini Early 2009 9400M

[jj987987987]

is your graphic card geforce 9400m?

[The89Lunder]

@jj987987987 Yes, that is correct. And it has 256 MB Shared memory

[adambou1]

your voice annoys me

[oOTechnoLoverROo]

lol why dont u record with fraps or something else`?

[The89Lunder]

@oOTechnoLoverROo For many reasons. This is a demo of raw performance, therefore I can not use a recorder app on the mac. Secound, Fraps do NOT exist for Mac OS X.

[topgear33]

looks a good game

How much is it?

[The89Lunder]

Have no idea. This game was downloaded as a trial version.

[pllejohn1]

Awesome video! :D

Are you danish? You have danish english accent :D

[The89Lunder]

Yes, i am danish.

Strange so many people talk about my accent. (I think you are number 10 or something to do it !) :-P

[pllejohn1]

Normalt er jeg totalt ligeglad hvilken accent folk har, men synes bare lige i denne video den lød utrolig dansk :P

Men fedt nok du er dansker! xD

[The89Lunder]

Jamen tak da. :-)

[skaternet1]

does the mac mini come standard with a mini dvi to dvi adapter in the box

[The89Lunder]

Yes

[leontt9]

Kizz me ass! mac will kick pc ass in few years. People are start using mac everyday.

[MaxMcZan]

Microsoft is still the strongest on Earth :)

[The89Lunder]

Possibly, but i wouldn't give up mac for anything. Mac computers can do so much without 3rd party programs, thing microsoft Windows never even can do.

Automator for example. Makes my life easy!

[SoundOfAShark]

Every mac seems to have a personality what suites every person. I'm gunna get a mini.

Do they do hd video outputs? Because i'm not going to spend £500 on a hd apple monitor.

thanks ;)

[The89Lunder]

The graphic card can pull it off yes! And there should be plenty of power for HD videos!

[Danny7930]

computers that are pc's that are $500 can run faster then $5000 macs and if you like it so much u can run osx leopard on pc........

mac mini is a laptop with out a screen

[liamgreen94]

@Danny7930 Well don't forget you get the build quality and the ease of mac. now i am a mac user but i do use PC as well. so don't call me a Mac Fanboy as it is different peoples choice. and you are most likely saying what you said because you can afford a mac or cant see people use different to what you use.

IMHO

[edwardholmes91]

@liamgreen94 Yer I agree entirely... if I could afford both I would definitely have both lolo!

[Mahaney82]

Do you run these games nativley or do you use boot camp? Im new to games not on a console. lol

[The89Lunder]

All the games i test is running native.

I don't have any demoes where bootcamp is used.

[Mahaney82]

Oh nice. See ive been PC for so long and then switched to a G4 MDD that couldnt do shit. So I decided to get a mini just to get something that can get me outta that old G4.

[gardenlols]

the name of the song that starts at 5:07??

[The89Lunder]

@gardenlols No idea, it is a song in the game!

[gardenlols]

Wtf? it can't be, i've heard this song before on the radio!.

[benthemiester]

I have the early 2009 mini 2.0 ghz Intel core 2 duo just just added 3 gigs for a total of 4 and put in a 7200 rpm Hitachi travel star drive I'm interested in checking out its gaming capabilities. Is yours stock?

[The89Lunder]

Pretty much, it has 4 Gigs of ram!

[Mahaney82]

I just read that you can upgrade to 8GB of ram now!

[bpmdhm112]

could you do a demo of left 4 dead if possible?

[The89Lunder]

I would if i could, but i have to obstacles.

1. The game does not excist for Mac OS X

2. The game is having too hight System Requirements. Even on Windows my Mac mini will not be able to handle this game.

The CPU and graphics are too small.

[iover9000]

i have it on my mac, using crossover games i installed steam without bootcamp

[The89Lunder]

@iover9000 Yes, but what kind of Mac do you have?

My Mac's CPU is too small. And running it through Crossover would pretty much crash my Snow Leopard! ;-)

[iover9000]

i have a macbook pro 13 inch with a nvidia 9400m and it runs fine. it has a 2.26 ghz 4 gb ram. also i have a other macbook pro 17 inch 2.4 ghz 2 gb ram nvidia 8800 and it runs fine.e

[The89Lunder]

@The89Lunder Remember that i only has 1.8 GHz.

400 Mhz Dual core CPU makes a lot of difference.

[auxili160]

what is that song called again? the one that starts playing when the aliens attack

[The89Lunder]

No idea

[1tofallen]

@auxili160 don't fear the reaper by blue oyster cult

[kikeveli305]

Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

[gardenlols]

thx man!

[Karlskogasstolthet]

Hey, is the mac version special in a way? I mean the pc Version came for some years ago and now it cost like 94.50 Swedish cr and this version cost like 450 swedish cr.......

[The89Lunder]

Yes, they are written or converted for a language the mac can understand.

[ILUSHNIK]

Can you download CineBench from Maxon. net and step through all tests. I wanna take a look at perfomance of Videocard and processor. If you make a video with it that would be great :)

thanks

[The89Lunder]

I will look into it. I can't promise a video, but the test will be performed.

Can it wait till Mac OS X Snow Leopard is out?

(Should be out 28 august if rumors are true)

[60spaure]

will you make one with sims 2 on max settings? i'd like that (I'm saving for a mac in 1 year)

[The89Lunder]

Already have done so. The Mac Mini Demo Part 2 shows off The Sims 2

[60spaure]

Thanks. I haven't noticed!

[The89Lunder]

No problem!

[Taxxi88]

How about the cooling of this baby? If you run a game like this for a couple of hours, I think the gpu is getting really hot in that little cube...

[The89Lunder]

Normaly the tempature is around 70 to 80 Degress celcius. And hotter it dosn't go.

If you install SMC Fancontrol you an control the fan your self.

Don't worry about this app, the fan can run slower than it is 100% safe for the Mac.

[Blinkwing]

mn, you dont need that

I have baked a fuid for 24h nonstop and the temperature never got higher than 80 °C, and the CPU is certified for 105°C

[The89Lunder]

I know, but honest, i prefer my computers a bit more cold.

But that is just me!

[vibyjocke]

Frenetic zooming ftl...

[esykillll]

Why the fuck you guys talk about resolution? It's all about the graphic.

[The89Lunder]

If you play Crysis on high graphics and you play at 800x600 px. You can't see all the nice details. You have to put a higher resolution in. So it is important with a high resolution!

[esykillll]

Talking about resolution without any graphic detail is horrible.

[supercoolsephirothis]

Congratulations on playing a three year old game on a newly released computer. My three year old pc that cost me $600 can play that game at full settings including 8x and 16x anti-aliasing at 1280x1024. Of course, I had to upgrade the video card, but that was a $65 upgrade.

[bibbler227]

Oh My.. You sound like a real Big Boy computer guy. You play games on your computer!! How cool. Are Mommy and Daddy going to buy you a new PC soon so you can play more games. And get yourself a really cool case with lots of blue lights in it. That way everyone will know that you're a REAL Big Boy Gamer!!!!

[quallinator]

You agressive or something? o.O

[grandmateresa]

Question: im buying a mac mini (9400m graphics)

Can it support 1680 X 1050 resolution? (from an HP w2007 monitor)

[The89Lunder]

Sure.

In this demo i used a 22" inch screen from Asus running 1680x1050. (the game was not in that resolution though

[884546172]

Yes, MacBook's can support up to 2560 by 1600 when connected to an external monitor.

[johanssonmatte]

eurovision, go sweden this year ;) good video mate

[The89Lunder]

Glad you like it :-D

[Lobbedobbe]

Norway Won

d-_-b

[johanssonmatte]

really? ferrytaile... everything sucked this year anyway :P

[The89Lunder]

Hej wiefag. Jeg tror mit svar det må blive nej.

Jeg har en stationær pc med omtrent dobbelt CPU kraft, og omtrent 20-30 gange mere grafik power. Og den er ikke istand til at rive afsted med GTA IV. Den kan ikke engang følge med i medium graphics.

Så min vurdering må blive at det ikke kan lade sig gøre. Beklager

[wiefag]

hej der, vil lige høre om du tror at det er muligt at spille gta iv på en mac mini

[The89Lunder]

as i said in the video, the Mac Mini has room for more resolution. BUT the resolutions for my wide screen (1440x900 or 1680x1050) is too large.

But the setting Wide Screen in the bottom with the combination of 1024x768 worked very well.

I am glad you liked the video, but sorry i was so long time to create it, but i have simply been having a long lists of tasks

[xXtortionXx]

so you have the settings completely maxed out? thanks for making this video! it looks great! just like my macbook pro!
