Red Alert 3 on a Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz 15"

A video to show how Red Alert 3 runs on the Apple Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz (version 3,1). The Macbook Pro is running Windows XP Pro in Bootcamp and the specs of the machine are:
2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo (santa rosa - merom)
15.4 inch
4GB ram DDR2 667Mhz
160 GB 7200 RPM HD
GeForce 8600M 256 DDR3 VRAM
Average FPS 30
The Settings are 1440x900 resolution, you need this to get a nice tactical overview of the battleground. And settings put to Medium with the VFX on High. It runs like a charm this way even in big battles and mass destruction weapons. As soon as u start cranking up the settings to High on this resolution you notice a drop in FPS during heavy fighting and weapons of mass destruction.

@javkkh07 As far as I know there is no mac version of RA3. Install Windows via Bootcamp Assistant on your mac and get the Windows game running on your mac. Goodluck

[javkkh07]

@strigani thanks a lot. i have aleady bootcampwith xp. but, there seems some function not smoothly working on xp on mac, i think, any way, i will try, but do u think to play such a big game on my mac machine causes bad effect on it? if dont know, it s fine,

[strigani]

@javkkh07 I don't know which mac you have but if things aren't running smooth try to lower the graphics or resolution. It's ok to run games or heavy duty stuff on your mac, they're build for that

@strigani i am using this Model

Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,5 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz Number Of Processors: 1

 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 3 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz Boot ROM Version: MBP55.00AC.B03 SMC Version (system): 1.47f2

@javkkh07 The thing is that the 9400M onboard GPU is about 35-50% less powerfull as my 8600M in this MacBook Pro. So that will give you less game performance. Try setting back the resolution and graphics for smooth gameplay.

@strigani thank you . it was ok as u said. i got smooth play. and resolution. yeei. thank u buddy

@yslides Lol...The thing is, it wouldn't... :/ You should never use those words "Will own any windows computer"...You should look around youtube, you will be eating your words. A quad core imac, is fucking NOTHING! On the stuff out there...Maybe if you had a Mac pro, 12 core...But then again, they're just server processors...so meh!
