Hey guys i need help, i just got a Macbook pro, its 15" 2.8Ghz C2D with Nvidia 9400m and Nvidia 9600m GT video cards, also it has 6GB ram, now i updated the thing and i installed Starcraft 2 on it, im not bootcamping or anything but the game should be working fine and it doesnt i can barrely move the mouse curson around its so slow. I have tried to look for drivers on Nvidia website but there is nothing there, i tried looking for anwers on google but only finding people talking about bootcamp problems. Im stuck here as the game should be working fine and its not. I bought the macbook mainly for garageband and logic pro but i want to play a game or two sometimes on this thing. Please help me out.

I had a laptop with somewhat similar specs (MSI GX620: C2D @ 2.4GHz, 9600M GT 512MB) and it ran SC2 reasonably well at the lower detail settings; it certainly wasn't a slideshow like you described above. Mind you this was on Windows; I have no idea how well it'll run on a Mac OS.

I think your confused it can not possibly have a 9400m and a 9600 GT, but I think your graphics cards are underpowered. a 9400m is about on par with the Intel integrated HD3000 in the CPU's it may not be able to run SC II much at allZaral_1

I'm pretty sure it's correct. I remember reading about this back when the 9600M GT equipped macbook pro launched; that it could switch between a 9400M GT and 9600M GT presumably to save power when the extra graphics horsepower wasn't needed.

Actually my brother can play SC2 on his macbook air quite nicely on super low settings

I've seen macs become abit unstable while playing games so i reccomend connecting a mouse and as soon as the game starts try to get into the settings and put eveything on low

Also u bought this from a friend/ebay right?

Probably overheating, macs have next to no cooling.

Also laptops and macs can't play games well.
