Gaming on a 2011 15" Macbook Pro | World of Warcraft | 1680x1050

Quick test run of the graphics on the 2011 15" Macbook Pro with the 2.2ghz quad-core processor and 1gb discrete graphics card. Tested the "fair" and "high" graphical presets in both Orgrimmar and the Eye of the Storm battleground.

[mkngrm]

@GxETAKSx ScreenFlow

[chupetanegra]

men i make rigth buy i waS LOOKING FOR A GOOD COMPUTER LAST WEEK AND I WAS NOT SURE MAC OR ASUS G74 AND I CHOISE ASUS AND I PLAY IN HIGT EVERY THING AND IS WORK SO I AM HAPPY TO SEE YOUR VIDEO

[mkngrm]

@chupetanegra The MBP plays WoW at high everything as well. The numbers were low because I had a screen recorder going.

@mkngrm If it wouldn't be too much trouble could you test what frames you get with these settings:

Everything medium, but particle density on high and shadows on fair (or even low)

8x anistrophic filtering (or however it's spelled)

and 1440x900 res

Then again with the res set to 1280x800 ...obviously without a screen recorder running =P if you do that I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance [:

@KeKeKeilan I don't have WoW installed on that machine anymore, sorry.

[mkngrm]

@sternspartan21 That's great, now turn on a screen recorder and try that again.

@intunericitu666 The title isn't "How to Improve FPS in WoW". It is just a display of gameplay at stock settings. I'll be sure to send you a message the next time I need protips, though.

@nutbagticles Thanks.

[nutbagticles]

@FlameSkull94 it's compatible on both systems.

[greedisgoodz]

@chupetanegra can you still carry it around fine? like the macbook?

[Bluetibald]

can you do ultra and record and still get good fps cuz if not im not gonna get the MBP

[ShiroKado]

but world of worcraft graphic sucks so much. you need to test it on something like starcraft 2.

[FlameSkull94]

when you did get World of warcraft for mac? or u are using Bootcamp?

[gorockdennis]

Did u game on a external monitor?

[Thedarklord148]

does your youtube name stand for make kool not good rap music

[USMC4life1991]

low frame rate also has to do with u screen recording

[Sharpshooter226]
