And like i said before, the graphics card drivers in windows are simply better which is THE most important thing when it comes to gaming. No matter how inefficient windows may be, it should not affect the performance in games if you have a decent modern desktpo because it'll only use like 2 of your 8gb of RAM, and the game will most likely never use more than 4, if you have a dual core or better processor your OS will never be using 1 core all by itself, and most games usually don't even properly support multithreading so you only need 1 core for the game itself. (But i do agree that i wish all games were on opengl, because then it would be easy to port the games to any platform, linux, windows, mac or playstation)Ĥ. You can't use DirectX either, It's arguable whether DirectX(for windows) or OpenGL (for everything) is better, but the fact remains that today most of the best lookign games are made on DirectX and not OpenGL. You can not use Net Framework, nor XNA framework on OS X. Windows 8 is quite a lot more efficient than windows 7, and windows XP is more efficient than both windows 8 and OS X i can pretty much promise you (especially if you use the performance edition) in most cases windows xp will even be more efficient than linux since the window managers on linux today are consuming way more resources than they used to.ģ. they know the games are on windows, they know their drivers are needed on windows more than anywhere else.Ģ. Graphics card drivers for OS X or Linux tend to just simply not be as good as the ones on windows, reason being that Nvidia/Amd are focusing on windows moreso than OS X. This statement is false, for the same reason that it is false about linux even if it's the most efficient and proper OS out of the 3.ġ. When a game is done right you will always get better performance in OS X compared to windows on the same hardware, it's a much more effiefienct and proper OS. Performance is unfortunately not one of these things.ĭustbunny a écrit :hey I'm a dev. There are many great things to be said about Macs, including fashion, style, portability, slim, professional looking and more. HD 4000 graphics is probably better than a current generation gaming console.

Macs are mostly mobile or mobile/desktop hybrid parts in everything except the (overpriced and outdated) Mac Pro desktops and simply can not compete with desktop performance, even though they can perform "well enough" for many great things.
Macs are very expensive and not good value per performance for a gamer.ĥ. In fact you might say they are deliberately crippled for that.Ĥ.

it's impossible to get the best graphics cards on a Mac unless you install them yourselfģ. most games run on Windows not OSX, though some are nice enough to have "Steamplay"Ģ. I suggest you stick with OSX unless you need to play a PC only title.ġ. If you want to use Windows for gaming then you must do a proper "dual boot" installation without running Windows through OSX bootcamp.
