StarCraft 2 on MacBook Pro 13" 2010 Edition [Part 2 of 2]

Rest in peace, Steve Jobs. Thank you for changing our technology, our culture, and the world for the better.

This video showcases StarCraft 2 gameplay on the new 2010 MacBook Pro 13". This is the second level of the game, also called "The Outlaws". Here are a few things to note: this is running on Windows 7 under BootCamp, Graphic settings are shown in the video, this is on Hard Difficulty setting. I am not that great at this game and you'll also notice I'm not anywhere on the screen's reflection. I'm actually using a USB keyboard, playing at a weird angle and this makes the gameplay even less impressive.

Look at the top right corner of the video for the actual FPS. The bottomline is this: with the settings shown on the video, the game was playable and still able to have that "eye-candy" look to it. Lowering the graphics settings to medium will give 10-20 more frames.

Please do, asap because the driver on OSX disc is really old, not sure if newer one will give better performace.

The thing is I know you have to have a modified INF file so driver from nvidia.com can find your gpu. but not sure how to do it? What is the version of your driver that you currently running?

[JaymarkTech]

@sup3r1or I'll answer this in my next video, uploading on tomorrow. Gotta sleep now =)

[sup3r1or]

Listen do you know how to update standard nividia driver that came with the OSX Instlal DVD? Because it is reallly old:(

[JaymarkTech]

@sup3r1or Yeah, I can show that in a new video

[sup3r1or]

Hey can you please say what settings are the best to set for MBP13 2010 on bootcamp. I use medium and physics on max but kind a slow:(

[JaymarkTech]

@sup3r1or Don't turn on PhysX. That's made for discrete graphics.

@darkdragontr

We're looking at how the system performs... hot key won't help our cause...

[vichetmeng]

@TokiThor It's quite laggy for these settings, if a big battle occurs. And yes, I use the same exact Macbook Pro.

[TokiThor]

Does it lag in big battles? When two 200/200 supply armies collide?

[RobertWLeung]

How good is this online though? I'm debating on getting this, but I'm worried it can't handle the online multiplayer without serious lag

[eduardomyugi]

@JaymarkTech Hwy, will my laptop with core i5 2nd generation 2.9 GHz run this, aww, and btw, my graphic card is as same as good. plz reply!!!!

[rnorred86]

I'm gonna buy one of these soon. This game runs so shitty on my 17" HP Pavilion dv7 laptop. My brother & my friend both have Macbooks & this game runs smooth on both of theirs & they are from 2007.

[GeTwAsHeD321]

does this thing get really hot???

[renevp2]

Runs really smooth! Any idea if the new 2011 13 inch baseline will run similar? (due the new integrated Intel HD 3000)

[darkdragontr]

please don't hate me for this but i have to admit that you are a N00B. Learning to use hotkeys and getting faster will improve your skills if you want to improve them

[NewGameReleases]

this game is pretty playable I've found even at 20 fps. It's not very good once it's below that but it's a little harder to notice lag in this game
