macfags are stuck with their shitty OpenGL

[cedar234]

@TheFaker619 barely, as they run games at half speed. just check out system requirements on steam games for mac. usually i see pc requires pentium 4 and mac requires a dualcore or the same ratio of pc needing half the power to do the same.

@cedar234 Macs can handle much more without needing to be upgraded

[cedar234]

@DrawingDrewfly i beg to differ. i have a friend that's on a core 2 duo mobile mac and when she plays minecraft, she has to close down every program. even skype which sucks. my little brother has a core 2 duo mobile (and i've checked, she has a T7500 and my little brother has a T5450) obviously the T5450 is much slower. pentium 4 slow. and i've had firefox running, skype, msn, and so much other things running in the background. it's able to play minecraft no problem.

So every time you get a new card you might get a few more points,, and they'll lifted be a little. higher

[cedar234]

@karlwashere123 what?

I just read some information about how microsoft's and other research programmers came up with the math and the functions behind many of the directx11 features and it is just mind blowing. these people definitely deserve respect for progressing technology and are nothing like the garbage that comments badly about them. sad to think some people believe tablets and simple multi-touch screens are a leap in technology...

[TheArcadeBit]

You guys do know you can boot windows on a mac that has an intel processor (2006 and up) and get directX on it right? The mac is just the machine just like the PC just with a different operating system like OS X and you can boot windows without virtual machine, i just popped my windows 7 dvd in and boom windows on a mac that can handle game "crysis while having chrome open on a youtube hd video while writing an email and skyping my mac is from 2007 and it's a laptop "its just the machine guys"

@TheFaker619 dude you'r really really wrong, opengl still better than dx, but needs a better pc to run games on opengl

[Markus2999]

@TheFaker619 i HATE people like U who talk about a subject and they dont even know about it.OpenGL is faar better than direct x,but also games are much harder to do with it,thats why u see more games in direct x.its just a 3D graphics fact.OpenGL is better,and people still think direct x is the way..

P.S. I dont have a mac,i hate macs,but i know some are quite powerful.

[MiKHEILL]

@TheFaker619 Why the hate dude

@Lasergun45

Tablets are quite nice for their size. From what I've seen, their graphics are easily beating the other purely portable gaming solutions, like the PSvita, but they still don't have anywhere near the power of a gaming laptop running a gtx 555m or similar, middle-end piece of tech.

A leap in technology? Maybe, for business types who need portability and battery life above all else.

But for gaming? Really not worth it considering the desktop or laptop alternatives.

[0011Darkone]

Totally false, actually.

[JFrameMan]

@Lasergun45 in what way are they even technologically advanced? the shit ARM architecture or the multi-touch screen that was made by a couple of students many many years ago? they're not complicated or advanced at all. companies didnt make them before because no company had enough brand loyalty that they would sell fast enough. they're made to limit users and developers to a market of software controlled by 1 company. technology isnt about finding ways for tech-retards to spend money

[JFrameMan]

@DrawingDrewfly nope. the same cpu and graphics card on a mac will cost you more than double the price and run much slower than the standard PC one. it's mostly due to os x putting smoothness of animations before other tasks. almost every statement that apple tries to spread is false about macs. they're made by pretty bad programmers mixed with a few good testers. windows and linux systems are still the fastest and the ones that need the least upgrading.

[Lasergun45]

@JFrameMan Tablets truly are a leap in technology, but I agree. PhysX, DirectX, and a lot of the other software "leaps" are totally underrated.

[Lasergun45]

@cedar234 I've dropped my mac, corrupted the hard drive several times, caused short circuits starting it up too early after cleaning it, and used it for hours blocking the air vents. Long story short, I didn't treat my first computer too well.

It can barely run Minecraft anymore, but it's STILL chugging along.
