syrian_gamer Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hey im planing on getting a macbook. And i was just wondering if anybody has tried Team Fortress 2 on a macbook with the x3100 lame intel video card. Does anybody know how it handels on VM? How about dual boot?

xandiztxu Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Almost sure, no. Since this games are projected under Nvidia and ATI. If it runs, will be slow and almost unplayable. But using Crossover, maybe via Bootcamp you get better results.

syrian_gamer Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 yeah i assumed the best results would require me to use boot camp which i would have no issues with. i was just curious if anyone had it working and what their experience with it was Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112778-team-fortress-2-on-a-macbook/#findComment-798266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Counter-Strike source will run smoothly, but TF-2 will require you to run in minimum graphics, and Direct X 8 mode and then it will still be quite slow, like 20fps. (source) Just google "team fortress 2" and "x3100" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112778-team-fortress-2-on-a-macbook/#findComment-798395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
syrian_gamer Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 aww that sucks. I really wish Nvidia would put some of their new low power cards on these macbooks. honestly intel sucks at making video cards. intel w/ video cards = epic fail Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112778-team-fortress-2-on-a-macbook/#findComment-798636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espionage724 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I agree with the intel video cards = epic fail Anyway I found performance with my Intel 950 GMA card with Source Games like Portal and Counter Strike: Source to be a lot better on OS X with emulation (crossover or Windows XP inside VMware Fusion Beta 2) then it is just under Windows XP or Windows Vista.
