new official drivers out http://gizmodo.com/5115011/official-nvidia...ailable-onlinea

Thanks for wasting 5 mins of my time, checking out your link and actually following it to the nVidia download page. Do you find doing this kinda thing amusing?

For those who have yet to do so - don't bother. It just links to the Windows/Linux drivers.

Mac drivers, as its always been in the past, are issued as software updates from Apple.

MacDaNife -- This is a gaming thread you idiot. Most gamers play in windows, hence, the link is applicable. And yes, I do these things to see which incompetent fool replies; I congratulate you, you've just joined my growing list of morons on Low Yat Network and have been placed on my ignore list. I also present you with a Darwin award i.e. if you were wiped off the planet of this earth, noone would even notice.

Have a nice day!

Ok, you can untwist your panties now. Jeez,

If you're going to get this worked up over a clarification to your post (this IS a Mac thread after all) then you've got a lot more grief waiting for you as you grow up.

lol. Guess what MacBoy-DaLife messaged me, he is trying to lecture me now



Is he threatening me???

Don't flatter yourself. I wouldn't threaten you because you're not of consequence to me. Hence not worth taking the effort.

Like I said, I'd like to treat you with respect.

That however is getting difficult but I'll try.

It's getting OOT.

what the....I posted this topic not to quarrel brothers....

fight between Macdanife and Omniatlas

huh....is it this thread for fight arguement or share experience...thanks friends about that elaborate about NFS Undercover...Just want try it. Hahaha..

lol more like Macdanife trying to strife up the boards because he has nothing better to do. If you check out his posts he is really emo, I'm actually quite concerned

Back to the topic at hand -- thanks for sharing the info -- I'll be getting my macbook soon; will stick XP on it -- I don't think 4 gbs makes much of a difference from 2? The shops are charging something like 300 RM from an extra 2 GB -- real rip off IMHO and I would rather go by a third party ram company if I were to upgrade.

Actually, as a point of clarification, I don't get too worked up over posts on this board. The converse is perhaps true, it's difficult to remain interested in the discussion as it so rarely has useful information and is consequently usually a waste of time and bandwidth. My apologies if I have added to the spam already rife on this thread. My apologies too if I've needlessly provoked Omni, that was not my intention, the reaction was indeed suprising (although I admit, rather amusing).

Since Omni is fond of taking PM messages to the board too, let me share this too:


Now how is it that Malaysians when they get behind a keyboard (or the wheel of a car) feel that it transforms them into someone so strong and powerful that they get the urge to "beat the shit" out of someone who holds a contrary point of view? My point was simple: that if the drivers are for windows, on a Mac thread, please take the time to point that out. In this case would it would actually work on a Mac running XP in BootCamp? That has remained unanswered.

Apple drivers have always come as software updates from Apple. This includes drivers in BootCamp, which are released using the Apple Software Update utility in BootCamp. I'd be interested if the drivers released directly from nVidia do actually work in BootCamp and provide any performance benefit. Has anybody actually installed it?

ok guys....discuss about games now!

Sorry to interrupt you guys

I think you "over-trust" apple. lulz.. Srsly, on windows side, apple software update is kinda ussless, especially on graphic drivers. Why i say so? Cos' they are darn slow releasing and I bet they less focus on windows side. Maybe they need "time" to test it or so what. Talk about drivers, as long as you know what model and brand of the hardware on your mac, you can actually install it. Most of the drivers you can find on net, but still have some drivers don't such as keyboard, trackpad and isight. THose are apple components. Trust me, i have tried and test on my old macbook. It works like a charm.

Currently testing Macbook 2.4Ghz - Aluminium (9400M),

Crysis - Low Detail, may lag even at DX9 (anyway... at low detail, u must as well play FarCry 1) 15FPS max
Crysis Warhead v1.1 (Couldn't install[keep getting error, Crysis doesn't support integrated] - Original one of coz)
COD4 - Mixture of high & medium (No AA) 35FPS max
Need for Speed Pro Street - Have to turn off the smoke and AA 30FPS max
Need for Speed Undercover - The only thing nice about the graphics is Maggie Q in the video clips, EA's fault. Not the MB.
Prince of Persia 2008 - Medium settings 28FPS max
Tomb Raider Legend - Full Detail 42FPS max
Tomb Raider Anniversary - Medium & High (No AA) 23FPS max
Tomb Raider Underworld - Couldn't make it even with medium graphics 18FPS max @ Medium
Far Cry 2 - Holy Shit, africa doesn't have trees and grass (low & medium detail) 17FPS max

If you are thinking of gaming with those Games i listed above. Please consider getting a desktop PC with a C2D 2.33ghz above & a decent 9600GT GPU or higher or get a Macbook Pro.

No point playing a game with low setting. You can't even enjoy what the game has to offer.

All the Framerates, i got it from using Fraps on Vista x86 Home Premium w/SP1. Vista is tweaked for performance and minimum RAM usage.


I have a MBA, Macbook 2.4ghz (Alu), Macbook Pro(8600M GT) all very close to me. And i work in an Apple Reseller Outlet. I'm proud to say, i'm still on windows! haha!

So how about the heat?it will get extreme hot when under bootcamp XP with gaming?

I'm frying eggs on it man!. A very good coffee warmer also. Hits 80c anytime~ from istat.

play game must inside air-cond room.

So, the Macbook 2.4Ghz still under performance compare to Macbook Pro(8600M GT)?

Damn. i think i having dilemma again..haha..

Do you mind to update the result details by using Macbook Pro(9600M GT) with those above Games..
With 8600M GT also can. Since they are quite closer to performance.
