So I am about to pull the trigger on a base 17" macbook pro. In terms of gaming, I deciding between this and a laptop with a 1GB 335M (the laptop has a lower native res and much worse cpu, so please take that in consideration.
I have around 50 games, most are older which I know would be fine. However there a few games that I am skeptical about. I consider maxed... Native res, 2XAA 2AF, 75% effect turned on, all texture settings on high (not ultra). If they won't even come close to my expectations above, can you let me know how far up your running them .After looking at benchmarks on this laptop model for hours, I can't find proper tests, or videos which relate specifically to this. (Trust me I have seen everything)
Games In question:
Modern Warfare/ Modern Warfare 2
Batman Aslyum
Left 4 Dead 2
Street Fighter 4
Splinter Cell Conviction
Fallout 3
Far Cry 2
Mass Effect 2
Tropico 3
Star Wars Unleashed
I also would be interested in finding out how long you expect apple to stick with the 330m, and how you think the MBP will hold up for the fall releases (chiefly mafia 2, fallout vegas, etc)
Thanks
