Mac Mini Crysis!

OrangeSVTguy · Apr 15, 2010

Well just for ***** and giggles, I decided to boot up Windows 7 64bit and download the Crysis SP demo... Well that was a waste lol. I managed a whopping 1.9fps @ 1280x720 and everything on low. I got a more manageable 10-12fps with low settings and 800x600 resolution.

8x AA, 1920x1080 and all settings on high crashed the Crytek engine lol. Can't wait for the new Mac Mini update. Bring on the dedicated GPU's! Yeah I know, the Mini was never meant for gaming.... I'll just leave it to play my old Command and Conquer games.

On the last gen 13" (very similar specs to the mini) MBP Crysis will run well at 1024 x 768 on medium settings, could be because this was on XP (DX9) which will stress the GPU less then DX10.

turn off AA and see what you get

did you use the hacked version of DX10 on XP?

^^nope as it doesn't really work. DX10 is Vista/7 only. The OP is running on 7 (and presumably DX10).

Yes DX10 was running. And no AA was on either

. 8x AA would cause the game to crash, had to Control/Alt/Delete out of it.

I used to get Steam games running on my old GMA950 mini. Slide show.

You'd be surprised to find that you could run Crysis on a saltine cracker with low settings. It's High and Very High that take higher end machines.
