Rumors of War: The Official MacRumors WoW Guild

sorry I haven't been on as much either! I only have my character to level 5 which is pathetic! I'm going to get rolling on it this morning and hopefully work into a more consisten schedule of leveling in my free times in the morning before my classes. Hope others can start getting on and joining in...

What do you all think about being horde? Are there that many of you that want to do alliance? Cause I keep hearing comments here and there about being ally...let me know what ya think!;)
 
New Machine

Hey everyone, sorry I've not been on of late. I bought a 17" MacBook Pro but it hasn't arrived. I sold my 15" in the mean time. However I've not yet got the new one. I'm seriously considering canceling the order and getting a MacPro from the Apple Store. 5 business days has passed and still not even out of Shanghai.
 
16 Logical OpenGL Threads in Multithreaded OpenGL

So... Yea, I got a MacPro. 8 cores. 2.26GHz. OpenGL guns in all sixteen logical cores... Everything turned on, maxed out and at 4X anti-aliasing. 60 FPS in Shattara... I am speechless. To make it all the more amazing... 1900X1200 on the new 24" LED Cinema display. And this is only the 120 not the 4870 which is still coming. Wow... Literally. I have much of the weekend off and getting out of work at 2 today. I'll be on.

pssst... the MT GL driver really only uses one extra thread beyond what the game normally uses. So WoW can use something between 1.5 and 2.2 cores worth of CPU depending on what is going on..

Really? Awe... Now I'm disappointed. Multi implies more than dual... Does it make a difference that I've two quad core processors? Regardess though 60 FPS with everything on and 130 odd against walls and inside is insane for Shattera (sp). On my MacBook Pro... I was geting low 20s in Shattera (sp). Cannot wait for the 4870 to arrive.

**** is ghost town now. Daralan is where those numbers would be impressive! Better yet, a Wintergrasp game at 30+ would be amazing!

2009 2.93 quad 4870 ATI with everything maxed and 2x oversampling had a low of 27fps and a high of 65fps in Dalaran with it averaging in the low 40s / high 30s most of the time.

Note - The fps isn't consistent and is constantly changing by quite a bit.

Either turning on V-Sync or turning it off will help steady your numbers. I can't remember which. What resolution are you running at and LCD or CRT?

Yea, same here, haven't been able to get on at all yet, still trying to download the beast. On a 1.5 Mbit connection. Getting Optical 16 Mbit Friday. Can't... Wait... Any... ::eek:ptimums prime dies::
 
31.5 Mb...

Slowest download ever... (comic book guy voice)

I really wish Blizzard would allow you to pay for a non PTP connection for full download speed from an internal sever.
 
I dont get it im new to the game so what exactly was added in that beast of a patch that took 6 hours to download do you get to fight those things they have in the commercial for it?

It's a major patch - they 'balanced' and changed and reworked a ton of talents for every class. They redid everyone's talent trees, added a lot of new content, opened a new major raid dungeon, allowed ability to dual spec (having 2 talent trees you can switch between for 1000 gold) and more. Quite the overhaul.

I haven't been on in about a week and a half due to being hit by life like a truck, lol. Not in a bad way, just been moving, preparing for a trip to Switzerland for a week (this sunday coming up) and finals. That and work.
