Best fps mac games for low end macs driver#

Considering the 750m is ~2 generations newer then the 6750m, has double the RAM, the terrible FPS has gotta be a driver issue. BF3 also was smooth, so long as everything was turned down at 1680x1050. I had to turn absolutely everything to lowest settings, and to get 60 FPS I'd had to drop resolution to the absolute worse, but hey it ran :).

I could run the BF4 beta on my old 2011 MacBook pro with a Radeon 6750m.

I'm pretty sure it is a driver issue, since: I'm having the same experience of terrible performance in BF4 (non-beta). I just picked up a MacBook Pro Retina with 750m as well.

The hardware manufacturer made it for you to play games on.Īpple cant set up product skews that include powerful graphics cards, assuming people will buy them to run stuff like bootcamp, and then install windows, and then try to run crysis. If you want to play games on a laptop, you should at least buy a gaming laptop, with windows on it from the start, that thing would be meant to game on, and will have hardware to allow that. In the same situation they are testing, you should be able to get about half the framerate that the 650 ti gets with the same settings, thats an ideal situation though, that requires the rest of your computer to be as powerful as their testrig.Ĭan't expect much with the equivalent of a graphics card that cost about 110 bucks in 2012 under the hood. Note that they are testing singleplayer, not the havoc that is 64 player multiplayer. I tried to find proper BF4 benchmarks with those cards, the closest i could get was one that included a desktop 650 ti.Īs you can see, the 650 ti is almost twice as powerful as the 750m.īattlefield 4 Benchmarked: Graphics & CPU Performance Okay, so, the 750m, is pretty much the same as a desktop 650, thought it has slightly lowered clocks, so it wont melt inside the space of a laptop. Does anyone know how often apple releases driver updates for their video cards? Or am I just shit out of luck on running this game and I wasted $60?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to download the latest nvidia drivers on a bootcamped macbook pro or if I have to wait for apple to release them. I tried to download the latest driver from nvidia's website but when it was running the installer, it says that my current hardware could not be found or something to that effect. I know that they just released 340 or whatever specifically for BF4. I looked and I am currently running on driver 321.17 or something like that.

I have come to the conclusion that it is the graphics drivers that are the problem, not the hardware itself. I looked online to see if others were experiencing the same issues as me and low and behold they are. I put the resolution to the smallest it would go and put all of the graphical settings on low or off and still, I get around 5-10 FPS. However, when I try to run the game, I get around 5 frames per second no matter what. The specs on this laptop are far above the recommended settings for the game.

I have windows 7 64bit bootcamped on my macbook pro and I downloaded Battlefield 4 from Origin thinking that I would be able to run the game no problem. It runs great, is super fast and sleek, and the games look great.all except 1, Battlefield 4. But there will be times where newer drivers result in performance degradation for certain games, so you'll have to be somewhat careful when installing them.I recently purchased the brand new MacBook Pro w/Retina display that was unveiled at the October press event.

Just be sure to set those options specific to War Thunder's profile and not global or else your computer will be using a lot of power in the long run.įinally, be sure to update your drivers regularly to obtain the best performance possible since they are meant to make your graphics card work harder/more efficiently. I'm a user of Nvidia cards, so I'm not sure about AMD but you can set Power Management Mode to 'Prefer Maximum Performance' to keep your clock speeds more consistent when gaming, along with what OP mentioned. If you have a graphics card with low VRAM (~<1GB), it would also be wise to disable animations or select the 'adjust for best performance' option in Windows under ' Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows' to reduce VRAM usage as well. In most modern games, the amount of available VRAM is usually one of the largest bottlenecks. Depending on where your computer's bottleneck is, it might help to improve performance slightly. If you want performance, you should just go to task manager and end the unused application's process instead of just minimizing it since your RAM will still be used to keep it active anyway (or just uninstall the resource hog).
