I have an i5 with 4850/512mb backed by 8gb ram.

I am using it only for RIFT currently, used to use it for CIV5 but since that has gone native I only need it for RIFT and occasionally LOTRO

I can play both at max resolution but need to dial back effects.

did you try dead space 2 ??

or the original one ?


and what does RIFT stand for ?

Dual-booting OS X and Windows 7 is the best thing you can do if you want to game on your Mac. Everything will run natively (no emulation) in Windows, meaning as fast as the hardware will allow. It's like running Windows on a regular PC.

Rift is just the name of the game. No idea if it's actually supposed to be in all-caps like that, though. And from what I know, I believe it's an MMORPG.
