Uni macbook 2.0ghz for gaming?

[RiCEADDiCTBOY]

The limiting factor is the video card/GPU. You could upgrade the CPU and RAM significantly, but would notice near no improvements in visual output. That said, if you want high quality video gaming capabilities on the go, the minimal model you should even consider is the 15" Macbook Pro.

Dwalls, no disrespect. We are fully aware of what the MacBook Pro would be more capable of providing. However, this thread is about the MacBook and its own gaming abilities. Many users at have shown what it can and can't do. We are aware. However, there are games that the MacBook is more than sufficient in providing a capable gaming experience.

With that said, even the MBP is far from being a complete gaming package. The Mac lineup still has a ways to go before being able able to claim itself a serious gaming machine. However, it has made a considerable leap with the new hardware improvements.

This thread is focusing on what the MacBook can provide and can't in terms of gaming. So lets try and stay on topic please. We welcome any members that wish to provide footage of themselves gaming and a short review of the game performance they had.

Be sure to install the latest Nvidia drivers on the windows side and tweak them out. It can make a pretty big difference in game play. I tweaked them out and have been geeking out on Assassins Creed all day with pretty satisfying detail levels as compared to what it was doing on the apple provided drivers.

I don't have a video camera, I would love to though. I'll post all the settings if so desired.

since i figure video capture wouldn't be capable for most how about multiple screenshots with fps and settings of various games? still i believe this would be a much appreciated feature in the forums...even if only for a niche crowd at best.

I'm gonna be honest, I'm way to lazy to do that. Besides, I'm at work for the next 3 days (as in a 72 hours shift) and I don't bring games to work. Seriously dude, it's a cheap game right now. I got my copy for $20. Just grab a copy and go for it. You'll see.
