profetes Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 has anyone try call of duty 2 on imac 17"?mine sucks.running acceptable only at 800x600 with settings at medium-high. I've played today Call of Duty 2 on my iMac 17" with 1.5 Gb ram. It worked perfectly at near max settings, only started to be sluggish with highest resolution. I've also worked multiplayer and it worked wonderfully. How much RAM do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non sequitur Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 im going to have the 2.0 ghz macbook pro(256mb x1600, 1gb ram) stock, so it should work great. the whole reason i care about CoD2 is because i do gaming with a clan, so thats what ill be spending the most time on.

racer Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Has anyone tried F.E.A.R. ? That's probably the most demanding game out there hardwarewise. racer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewen7 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 the hell nobody plays Ragnarok Online xD I do! XD I've tried it on a Mac Mini Core Solo, flawless. Haven't tried it on the 20" iMac, should be beyond flawless. /no1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L EphIno Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Has anyone tried F.E.A.R. ?That's probably the most demanding game out there hardwarewise. racer. If you go into the boot camp tech discussion you'll see my posts on this, you can play at 1280x900 with everything on max, no aa, and soft shadows off and get an avg of 28fps On another note for those interested, FFXI plays amazing on it, everything cranked, 1440x900res, textures turned to 1024 and you still get 29-30fps.

EricJD Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Anyone tried Oblivion on a Mini? I'm curious to see how well it runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitterSweet Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I just installed and ran the F.E.A.R demo. Had it playing at 1152x900, moving very smoothly with sound - all effects on Medium. Didn't play it for long though, too bloody scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torifile Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Anyone tried Oblivion on a Mini? I'm curious to see how well it runs. Umm. It WON'T? There's no way a computer with integrated graphics could run that game. I'm running it on my iMac just fine but even on my computer, I've got to compromise with the resolution.

grabberslasher Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 anyone try call of duty 2 yet? You have to change a few settings in the console (I've found) to get CoD 2 to work perfectly. Firstly, turn r_gpusync to 1. Then do r_picmip 2, r_applypicmips, r_picmip 0, r_applypicmips. That worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aar0n Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Sorry to be such a n00b, but we all have to start somewhere. I am so close to switching, but how are you running these games on your hackintoshes? Using an emulator or VM or what?! Help is much appriciated, Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using an emulator or VM or what?! Help is much appriciated, Aaron lol, its fine. apple recently released intel-based imacs and the macbook pro(powerbook esque). because of the hardware similarities, people tried to install windows for the ultimate machine. apple came out of nowhere a couple weeks ago and released bootcamp, a program that lets you run windows xp and osx with all of the drivers. so this thread is about using windows games on mac hardware, not osx on beigebox hardware. btw, my macbook pro SMOKES my desktop. very good portable gaming machine.

joewen7 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 you guys got ragnarok to work? how come my keyboard stops working completley on my macbook when i get onto the login screen? lame. I get that with the Mac Mini, but not on the iMac. Havent got the chance to try it on a MacBook Pro though. The keyboard dies easily on the Mini, seems like you have to use the USB ports furthest from each other to get it working fine. LOL. Happy ROing on your Macs. /no1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
