Gaming on a Mac

Downloaded a couple demos. People say Macs can't game. Well, this is true and not true depending on the game. But these games are good examples of what a Mac can do.

Sadly YouTube can't truly show the framerate I was getting. I wish Youtube allowed longer videos.

Mac Pro 8x Xeon 2.8GHz, 2GB RAM, ATI Radeon 4870

8gb dd3 1333 GeForce GTS 450 Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz Processor Windows 7 home premium and it will some your mac by a mile and wont cost as much so stfu.btw look up alien ware pcs and laptops they have twice the power.

[hakemon]

@CrAzY3AGL3 So you think that pc would be better than my mac which has 32gb of ram and 8 xeon cores? what are you on?

[LucMathlin]

@hakemon his pc is proberbly better than your mac, the i7 sandy bridge is a far better gameing processor than the xeons

[hakemon]

@LucMathlin That's debatable. Keep in mind that this Xeon has more level 2 cache than the sandy bridge. The L2 cache really does matter. Think about it, one of the biggest difference that made the Pentium III difference from a Celeron, was mostly just it's level 2 cache size, and the performance difference was big.

@hakemon you are missing the point lol

i have a mac and i say both comp are unique and i think its pathetic that people fight over them sure mac isint good with games thats because its new and its REALLY good with homework PCs are now pretty much what everyone used before macs so its good with gaming but it has some glitches with homework stuff like not easy to find files or not really organized.

[jchang911]

people say macs can't game because of their lack of support from popular games. but it is also because the higher end models with the new processors require almost 2 times the amount of money than what you would get with a PC

[CrAzY3AGL3]

@hakemon nice :) dreams kid you know what boushit you just said ? lol

was this suppose to be impressive? for such a common game the graphics are not even high let alone maxed out, and it's already struggling with what seems to be 20fps and under.
