spore and world of goo looks great. never expected the graphics card to be that pristine. must get a copy of spore or world of goo soon.

FEAR 2 PROJECT ORIGIN
OS: windows 7 64bit build 7100
Spec: 2.4ghz, 2gb ram, 9600m gt 256mb (macbook pro)
Video driver: 185.85

Setting all high, no AA (1280 x 800)
max: about 70 fps
average 45-50 fps
min: 30 fps

smooth gameplay, enjoyable. The game is not bad, rate 8/10. u will encounter some keyboard key arranging prob, as mac keyboard is not the same as windows keyboard (example, control is not on the left down corner but is the fn key)

i encounter 3 times system freeze without any warning since i installed windows 7, not sure what is the prob. overheat? OS prob?? cant figure it out... it jz freeze and u hv manually restart it. Should be no related with the game FEAR2, anyone encounter this b4?? using windows 7 64bit, will it bcoz of ram? coz i only hv 2gb ram.

Hey anybody heard of the bounce function in snow leopard where u press control den u can adjust the window size and rotate it around?

what about the GT card in the macbook pro 15' ?
can that handle the graphics?

ANyone successfully launch Bioshock in their unibody MB/MBP under XP?

any good free mmo besides Savage2.?

As tittle i often use my late2008 unibody to play world of warcraft as observed after 1 hour or 45 mins of play
it usually hangs, symptoms are while in game the graphic seem to flicker flicker flick and finally hang and i need to reboot to play again
any pointers?

maybe wow is not fully compatible with mac lorr...or try to play other high graphic games,if it's still the same,maybe there's something wrong with ur graphic card.usually flicker n hang caused by overheating.

in XP bootcamp, during overheat.. Games will crashed instantly and back to desktop or computer black out completely..

SO far only two games i tested encountered issue like this more often.

dead space & burnout.


If using a USB fan to blow on the machine. the part near the LCD hinge on our left hand.

It seems to working nicely for at least 1 hour plus. I don't play game too long hours. So couldn't hundred percent sure it is allow for hours of game activities.

SOmetimes i really not sure issit the game installed issue. or some visual C++ stuff.. or any related to graphic card drivers..

I still cannot launch Itunes under XP in bootcamp.

p/s: i want to play bioshock... Now getting a demo version to test issit really my machine not supported.. Sounds ironically..haha..
I can play prototype at high res...Compare to desktop 8600M. the Machine still feels lagging a few fps.

Playing GuildWars.. left it so long time ago.. getting back to it now..
I just love it. Its on Win7 thou.

Anyone had play Footbal manager on IMAC ? Im looking to buy the new IMAC but not very
sure wether it can run fm 2009 smothly.

WoW for OS X is has no problem at all in my Macbook Pro. Play straight for 6 hours and never encounter a freeze.

latest game from me..

[PROTOTYPE]
OS: windows 7 64bit build 7100
Spec: 2.4ghz, 2gb ram, 9600m gt 256mb (macbook pro late 08)
Video driver: 185.85

Setting: all high, no AA
Resolution: 1280 x 720
Max: 64fps
Min: 16fps
Avg: 32fps

Game rate: 7/10 (quite same like GTA)

at last i solved the freezing problem i encounter as i mentioned a few post back. Nvidia jz release new nForce chipset driver for windows 7 64 bit, simply update the driver and my problem solve...

issit Vista much more better for intensive graphics gaming experience?!

I am using XP had quite alot of issues with a few games still.
Latest Realtek audio is probably the key issue to launch the game or crashed the game in mid way.

I cannot play Prototype now. It crashed right after finished loading the saved game. I had tried to switch to year 2007, year 2008 driver also failed attempt.

And Bioshock, i still couldn't have the Sound.. which spent me 2 weeks in google n trials... Haha... gosh....

I wonder Issit Apple laptop hardware got issue for graphical game?! Is PC laptop having issues to run any intensive Gfx games?!

Wow, your Bootcamp really has problems. Bootcamp is essentially running native Windows, there shouldn't be any difference between XP on Dell and XP on Bootcamp in Mac.
But even the new Macbook Pros do that (crashing to desktop when its too hot), even gaming laptop does that. My Macbook crashes on certain games around the 3-5 hour mark (I usually play at night). When it crashes, I know i've had too much gaming, I wouldn't fret about the data lost cause fretting over it would just make me start the game back up . I actually like it when it overheats after 4 hours of gaming, it snaps me back out to reality. When it doesn't crash and goes on past my 6-7 hour gaming time (I play at night >_>), I usually don't go to sleep and suffer afterwards.
And games which focus on alot of CPU power crash more often, as Sims 3 crashes on me more than Overlord II, and Empire: Total War more than Street Fighter.

haha..i was tried to reinstall XP but i don;t know how to make it detect XP disc. then i stopped.

I had a few games which not allow to touch the trackpad at all cause it will
-Mute game sound completely. eg : Dead Space, Crysis, Ghostbuster..

Anyone had any similar occasions like me with the above games yet?(I seems to ask the same questions again n again. Wonder why no ppl playing Dead Space yet. this is one awesome games..haha)

p/s:
Ghostbuster can play at High Res when walking around. But it is recommend to lower down the resolution when catching the ghosts.

bro, more info about the mute sound? jz simply touch the trackpad while playing game?

how is the game ghostbuster? nice? might think to get it...

Yeah, once loading into the game.. Just simply travelling your finger on the trackpad. Just a few seconds, the sound "pop" and went mute..

My solution is using mouse to play games. haha.

So far, got two games i can play without "sound muted", Prototype & COD 4.

Ghostbuster is quite difficult to catch the ghost. I played like 1 hour yesterday. I stopped already. Perhaps i haven't got the real trick to aim the ghost properly.

I am not a game pro anyway. I couldn't play Tribe with comfortable mood. So, you can know my patience in handling game controls.

I am more towards as a prototype's Alex ...haha.

i think if using Wii controller is much more fun with this Ghostbuster game.. hehe


Graphics is really good. I like the Ghost electronic bagpack they are carrying. Alot of details & mechanism animation in it.

But crazy installation space, it need 10 GB~~~!!! . take note. The loading duration also need a longer time compare to rest of the games i had tested so far.

I've played 12 seasons' worth of FM on my unibody MBP 15"

Never encountered a single problem before. Which means iMac should have no problems either.
