Hey everyone, just a quick question about the gaming performance with the new nVidia 330m on OSX vs Windows 7/XP. I know after lurking in the Forums for months that Windows 7 performs better when gaming but is it a considerable difference? can anyone share experiences of multi-platform games such as COD4/Left 4 Dead? regards, skate71290
 
On my i7 MBP

Starcraft II.
Native resolution
OSX - Medium-low
Windows 7 - High-medium

*Pretty much bumped all settings up one notch.

Team Fortress II
Native resolution
OSX - Recommended settings
Windows 7 - All maxed out

*Settings were mostly high on OSX, still great graphics. If i tried to bump all settings up on OSX, it wasn't unplayable, but it would get slow in intense actions.
