I will try it once I get mine in about a week, but don't you (Mthos) thinks it makes more sense to up the textures while leaving most other stuff at medium (talking about Starcraft 2 on OSX). With 2GB VRAM, I am guessing increasing textures comes for free (or something like a 5% performance hit) and if you play at 1920x1200 medium textures seems a bit low.

I can test it on whatever settings you want, just let me know. lol. I just did these are basic benchmarks for people who were curious.

Also I'm the type of person who prefers higher frames at a drop in quality if necessary. 1920x1200 medium looked fine to me on all of the games I tried, but everyone has different preferences.

If anyone wants specific settings in any game I've tested so far let me know.

Diablo III (OSX)
League of Legends (OSX)
Starcraft II (OSX)
DOTA2 (OSX)
Battlefield 3 (Win7)
Skyrim (Win7)
SimCity (Win7)
 
I am going to have my own in less than a week so I get to test it myself. It is order already anyway.
I am just saying that upping textures on a 2GB GDDR5 GPU seems like a no brainer regardless of other settings and it should help detail on higher resolutions.
 
Hi, resuming old thread just to post that i have the same machine, 512 SSD 16 GB 750m 15 inches macbook pro, and gaming performance is very disappointing.

I can't play heroes of the storm on anything that low shaders, or even on medium it will go down to 35 fps in fights.

i have tried diablo 3 and it will stutter during fights, even at low res.

LoL is fine, it's the only one i can play decently.

Same thing happens on windows, it runs a little better than OS X but nothing major, ill test diablo 3 today but as for now the 750m is disappointing me very much :(

also, temp while gaming is around 95 for the GPU (summer here and very warm).

Is this on native resolution?
