fallout 3 macbook better than using an xbox 360??

[lewisp]

i used to have fallout for xbox 360 and i miss it, but tomorrow im going to be buying a macbook pro 13" 2.66ghz i was just wondering will it run smoother and/or with better graphics? obviously in boot camp

I'm pretty sure that the console is going to be better than an Apple laptop for gaming...but let us know what you think when you get it going...🙂

Probably not since the xbox has to be able to run Fallout at 1080p

The 13" definitely won't run it better than a console, but you'll be able to run it. And on the plus side be able to run it wherever you want : )

Good point! 😀

well i was running it on 1080i settings on a 32" samsung, was a bit blurry caus of how close i was sat to the tv in ratio to how big it was.

i would be happy if it ran it as smooth, and with the same kind of graphics, or will the mac run it more rough and not as good graphics?

cheers,
lewis.

can anybody answer my question above?

it will run fine
just make sure resolution is at 1280 800 and AA is off.
might have to set textures to medium to get a very fluid frame rate tho

No..

The Xbox360 runs it at 720p, then you can choose to upscale it to 1080p if you want to..

But the game is rendered in 720p, always.
