Finally!!! Thanks for the heads up!
Mac book pro 13" 2010
2,4 Ghz
4 GB ram
Nvidia 320M
- Most settings on medium
- Reflections off
Runs like a dream, except when pop limit reaches 500-600 in 2on2's/3on3's, then the lagging strikes!
When minimized OSX runs really slow - so I always close SC2 when in OSX.
I'm very impressed with my onboard gfx chip.
Unfortunately I have another problem (which luckily seems to be on the retreat) - my SC2 must have crashed around 20 / 150 games - thats 13.something% crashing, not awesome IMO.
oh btw, 1st post!
I dont know if this to be expected but i have a 2.66GHz iMac, 2 GBs of ram and the 9400m and i get around 20-15 fps on Starcraft 2.
My graphics settings are:
- 1280 x 800
- medium texture quality
- low shaders, lighting and shadows
- medium terrain
- reflections on
- medium effects
- low post-processing
- high physics
- high models
- 3D unit portraits
- high movies
Is there anything i can do to improve my preformance under OS X? Also i got the graphics update and it did nothing.
sorry dude, theres nothing you can do, were both stuck with the 9400m, and youre not getting any more fps anytime soon. whhyyyyyy did they put the 9400m into the imac?? such a stupid decision, seeing as it must drive a 1680x1050 display in your model...oh well, hey man, try turning everything to low, then slowly turning stuff up 1 at a time to see what gives you a fps hit. (use ctrl-option-f to display fps) keep the stuff that doesnt affect your fps and turn off everything that does. if you reallllly want the extra frames ( i would ) then tone the resolution down to 1024x768, that will give you fluid frames at your current settings.
What's the likely hood of playing this on a 2.2GHz 2007 MBP with 4GB RAM but an 8600M GT with only 128MB VRAM?

^Anyone else have this set up? What version graphics driver are you guys using, and which one has the highest fps? (I'm using most current one nVidia lets me download, 258.96, but I know sometimes laptop2go has a faster one or something). Any help greatly appreciated!

I have the same setup with 8GB of ram. Game is installing now, can't wait to see how it plays.

I booted into bootcamp win7 and installed it and this game SCREAMS at full res.
It's really sad that OSX is so crappy with this stuff. They really should adopt directx or do something.
I don't mind dual booting, but come on.
