[QUOTE="Method214"][QUOTE="mitu123"] I want you to try BF3 on that.

Shouldn't this be on the PC hardware forum?

Anyways, that seems surprisingly higher than expected. What gives?

High recommends a GTX 560 ti or Radeon 6950 or better though.

But those are windows requirements.

Dont be silly, macbook pros like most laptops get ridiculously hot, it would probably overheat. Also remember that macbook pro screens are lower resolution than gaming monitors i think the starting 15" is 1440x900mitu123

Yep its 1440x900p, so i'll be able to run the game fine, the lower res helps, plus it still looks great.

I spent $2.5k for my MBP this year, when i sell it next year, i'll get around $2.2k for it. I spend $300 on an upgrade. When intel ivy bridge macbooks hit next year, their in built gpus will be able to run games, so i can buy the cheaper 15" MBP.Method214

Good luck on selling your Macbook for 2.2k, honestly, good luck. I think the summation of this thread is pretty simply though, you can kick and scream all you want, but for the price you paid you could have gotten a PC that played games much better. Hell, you could have gotten an amazing top of the line gaming PC for $1000-$1200, built for you, no hassle and a decent high quality $1000 HP laptop. You could have bought an amazing gaming PC, all the current gen Consoles and if prudent even a netbook for Class.

..

Your mac will run games sure, but for the money you spent, if gaming was at all important to, (you as being on this forum proves it is) you could have better distributed it. This is coming from someone who bought a Macbook pro back when I was in Uni.

PC specs for one of this years it games, MW3.

http://www.bluesnews.com/s/126784/modern-warfare-3-pc-details-minimum-specs

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
OS: Windows® XP / Windows Vista® / Windows® 7
Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom™ X38750 processor or better

This is what i dont get about PC gamers, you overkill on hardware, wasting tons of money, when you could spend less, or even buy an iMac or Macbook Pro, and install windows so you can play games, and whenever your not playing games, run OSX.
All these past PC games haven't been nothing to wow at either.

Well for crappy pure console ports thats weak. But try and get that computer to play real games like The Witcher 2, Battlefield 3, and proper versions of other quality games. Bioware even pumped up Dragon Age II to take advantage of hardware even though it was based on consoles and would murder those PC specs on Very High @ 1080p with 4x aa that you listed. Rocksteady is doing the same with Batman AC as well. The Witcher 2 is the most beutiful game I have ever seen and having it run at 1080p is mind blowing which proves you probobly don't even know what it is since no game has inpressed you. And like I mentioned Dragon Age II looks heads and tails better on PC than on console. Oh yeah, and did I mention those run at a silky smooth 60 fps, DA II on 360 can hardly keep up 30 fps at 720p choking half the time lol.

Just because Activision is the laziest money grubbing company doesn't mean they all are.

Maybe TC is looking for one of these

Are we even discussing that Macs that can game on the same level as PCs? ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Macs are overpriced pieces of trash that were only used by hipsters a few years back and show-offs now. Seriously. You can get a decent PC that will max all modern games for more or less 800 euro. That's not even half for what you will be dishing out for a pos Mac, that will also have much inferior components too. Seriously?

On topic: Did anyone expect high requirements for a game using an 11 year old engine? Funny conincidence, the majority of the people that will be buying this game are around the same age as the engine the game is running on!

Whats with these Apple trolls popping up? First Kid-Atari in the iPhone, Android and Mobile Gaming section, and now this guy here. TBH I wouldn't be surprised if its the same person.

I also like how the TC say we are wasting our money on custom built PCs even though they are cheaper and more powerful than a Mac built for games unlike a Mac.

Calvin079, i have an AMD 6750 1GB + a 2.2Ghz quad core i7, its more than enough, i run blops and bc2 fine.Method214

heh...looks like i spent less on f****** alienware and got better stuff >.> and yes a mobility 5850 is more powerful than a mobility 6750(just a rebranded 5750 like most of the 6--- series cards are) and there are only a couple of games that i cant max...ooo and idc about macosx...hence why i got win7...btw...it still cost less including the os...

and yeah while you dont need a super computer to run the game on min settings or heck even max settings...we are talking about a game that looked bad by fps standards in 08...
