Would my mac run it just as good at 25 fps without SSD but just the standard one? And is it normal for the mac to get up to 90 degrees and is it damaging in the long run?

[aznguyen316]

@JonasLaerke normal to get up to 90. Get a laptop cooler. In the long run, not really unless you're gaming 24/7 at 90degrees. It's 100degrees + when you worry. And yes your mac will run it fine at 25fps w/o SSD.

how do you get addons for mac?

[aznguyen316]

@brianmartell1991 same as windows, stick them in your addons folder (just like windows)

@wonglikkk never play on your lap.. you will grill your balls, seriously.

@andrewjhsu You can cap your fps by going into the video settings I think advanced or some other tab. It shows background fps which is when you have wow open but are browsing the web or something and the other one during gameplay. Drag the slider bar to less than half way and measure your FPS by hovering over the computer icon on menu bar. cap it around 25-30FPS.

And what does vsync do? I've never turned it on. Sorry for all the noob questions, just trying to get as much info before I drop 1500 bucks hehe, thanks in advance.

I'm getting this model soon but with standard hdd. Does ssd speed up wow performance or just starting up computer?
