neosublime Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Just spent an hour playing GTA San Andeas.

kperez82 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Yeah I was just playing half life 2, and counterstrike source on my 20inch imac. The games were running at a steady 50-60fps with the occasional slow down to 30-40 fps when the action is all crazy. This is with all settings turned up to the highest quality, except for AA which i had turned off. The game was running at the screen's native widescreen resolution too. This is really exciting.

Velvet Nightmare Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Oblivion is running at about 30fps at max settings. HDR, everything. It's quite nice. I'll do F E A R soon as well.

Colonel Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Halo runs a bit choppy over all. Seems to crash when there are too many things going on at once, though. Edit: Halo now seems very stable in 10.4.6. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14135-games-anyone/#findComment-90455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 HL2 is BLINDINGLY fast. native res, max detail. VERY nice. Lost Coast Stress test resulted in 50fps. BF2 demo was very fast, didnt have native res by default, im sure it can be hacked in. I just installed FEAR but didn't get a chance to run it yet. More tomorrow. I love this thing.

I also have an iMac 20" and was wondering what the specs on your machine are? I want to play games and am wondering what kind of performance I can expect? Thanks Oh almost forgot I have an 20" iMac 2GHz, 500Gb Hard Drive, 256MB Video Card and 2GB RAM Reason for the large specs is I am a Graphic Designer. As a side note I am using my iMac for Design work and Photoshop isn't really that bad running through Rosetta.

non sequitur Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 im deciding between the low and high configuration of the MBP. can someone tell me how things run on the 1.83ghz compared to the 2ghz setup?

Velvet Nightmare Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 It's what I'm using, and I'm still getting 50 to 60FPS in HL2 with settings completely maxed. The 1.83 is perfect, and even at a stock 512MB of RAM, a better preformer than the desktop listed in my sig. I rarely get below 50FPS in any game on the MBP with this configuration; it's nearly perfect.

styer1 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I tried installing unreal tournament 2003 on both the imac and the mini and it is unplayable. It either crashes at launch or is so fast you cant play. I will try on the macbook pro and see what happens.

BitterSweet Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I couldn't get Unreal Tournament to run on my 17" iMac 1.83/512Mb, it refuses to load with a OpenGL error. I need to find more games to try. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14135-games-anyone/#findComment-91897 Share on other sites More sharing options...

profetes Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Yes, I've just tried. It works GREAT, only a little bit sluggish if you choose max resolution with max options, otherwise i.e. with a resolution of 1024x768 with 16:10, it goes very, very fast. I've been also playing multiplayer on internet and it works flawlessly. iMac 17" 1,5 Gb Ram Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14135-games-anyone/#findComment-92049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
