Crysis on a Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz 15"

This is Crysis on my Macbook Pro 15 inch + Windows XP Pro using Bootcamp.

specs:
2.4Ghz Merom Core 2 Duo (Santa Rosa Platform)
2x2GB dual channel ram
7200 RPM HD 160 GB
GeForce 8600M GT 256MB GDDR3
15 inch mate display 1440x900 (native resolution)

Crysis graphics are set on: High (only Shaders and Shadows are on Medium) and the resolution is 960x600. Maybe a better setup is possible, didn't spend too much time tweaking the graphics. The average fps I have is 25+, with drops to 17 fps and peaks on 38 fps.

ps I increased the speed of the loading parts, ingame footage is realtime.

You get 5 stars just for putting a song that isn't hip hop or another freaking drowning pool song.

Nice, but it's only getting 15 to 25 fps average. The trick here is setting shaders to medium. On myd pc with win 7 and 8800 I can get more like 45-50 fps and the i7 pc only cost $680. With my new GTX 470 card, it runs around $930 and I'm getting like 88 to 100 fps. Or I can do a Q6600 PC and GTX for like $750 and get 88+ fps. It's cool you can do this, but the frame rate is why I won't use a mac. It happens due to bottlenecks in the slower hardware and their graphics card.

@abscshrill, dude this is a laptop. Granted PC's are cheaper, but not that much cheaper.

@Ekman196 If you have Mac OS X Lion the performance of games will be pretty close to the DirectX experience in Windows 7. But that does not go for all the games. How do you plan of getting the GPU out of your MacBook Pro, as far as I can remember it's attached to the logic board.. Better graphics cards practically always give you higher FPS. The CPU's in the MBPs are already high-end and are rarely the bottleneck when it comes to gaming. PS Sorry for the late response..

@abcshrill I know you posted this comment a while back, but I have a question. But I'm gonna take out the graphics card in my 2010 MacBook Pro, and swap it with a better one. Will it affect the laptop at all? I'm woundering cause I'm hoping to get better graphics and fps out of it. And I was gonna switch it to run on windows. Do you think this will improve gameplay experience, graphics, and fps?
