lumbie Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 i have it in my macbook pro was think of getting some games running on it any good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiJKa Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Well, barring the 8700 and 8800gt options floating around out there in laptop-land for INSANE sums of money, the 8600gt is the best your money can buy you, as far as all-around mobile performance goes. I suppose just HOW insane gaming you can get out of it depends on whether you're using the 256 or 512MB model. However, either or both will get you some decent gaming.

Rufus T. Firefly Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 sixtyforce runs smoothly on my macbook pro. I have a few games like bejeweled and 3D Freecell. No hiccups. I'm going to be testing NFS, GH3 soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Bejewled and FreeCell? LOLOLOL you could run those on an Intel 286, not a very good way to test out a gfx card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiJKa Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Check the link. It doesn't stack up too badly. More specifically about the card in question, this link clears it up a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishduck Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 If you have the 17" MBP you can run Crysis on high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solidus636 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 thought crysis was a pc game this out for mac as well No, it's only for Windows. You can install Windows on a Macbook and then install Crysis and it will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
