Espionage724 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 CS:S runs a lot better (for me) under Mac OS X 10.5.4 Leopard with Crossovers then it does on Windows XP/Vista. Is this strange or is it just me? Same thing goes with GTA: San Andreas...

FrankOS_Scripting Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Seriously lol! I played that for a long time and I leave it on my other PC... And it's private or legit CS cause' it would be great to have a team InsanelyMac haha Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116156-counter-strike-source-discovery/#findComment-822252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espionage724 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Lol..it;s legit from steam. Runs really good when put in DX60 when compared to XP/Vista with my hardware. I'll have to try out Garry's Mod next whenever I can buy it. I assume it would work better as well though lol Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116156-counter-strike-source-discovery/#findComment-822311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankOS_Scripting Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 That's pretty cool the Steam one! Cause the private is very painful with the thousand of patch you should install. If you don't, it won't work anymore lol Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116156-counter-strike-source-discovery/#findComment-822857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espionage724 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 I had a un-legit copy from DigitalZone. There were no patches for it (that I knew of). Anyway when I started it up for the first time, I was only capped at 3FPS (on windows) which seemed really strange seeing that Steam's CS:S was capped at 10FPS lol. Only nice thing about that copy was that it had music playing on the main menu (and of course was non-steam).

Espionage724 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 Na I never got the chance to try out HL2 E2 yet. I heard it wouldn't run too fast on my graphics card but I guess i'll give it a try someday seeing as CS:S runs good now lol Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116156-counter-strike-source-discovery/#findComment-823505 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espionage724 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 I didn't think I could do that, are u saying I could just buy a mini pci graphics card, plug it in to the bottom of my laptop where my wifi card is, and (with some drivers) get it to actually work?

FrankOS_Scripting Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Very possible ! You can buy one on eBay and plug it on you PCIe slot. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116156-counter-strike-source-discovery/#findComment-823586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espionage724 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 I don't understand how that would work exactly though. Like how would I hook a monitor in to work with it? Wouldn't my laptop keep using my intergrated card (intel 950) still? Also on ebay I could only find min PCIe cards that were for Wireless Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116156-counter-strike-source-discovery/#findComment-823593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankOS_Scripting Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Oups, I forgot that Acer laptop is not the same as IBM or Lenovo if you prefered (I had this in mind cause I work for a while for them). However, it doesn't work because integrated graphics (mean on the chipset). IBM used PCIe Video card like Intel GMA 950. Also, screen should be plug onto but IBM was directly plugged on it..

FrankOS_Scripting Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Seriously, I'm wiling to sold now my Acer of {censored} for buying a Toshiba Satelite or something with a Core 2 Duo cause my CPU sucks nuts. Or worst, buy a T60, what laptop I hated when I was working on..

Espionage724 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 New discovery! CS:S runs faster on Vmware Fusion Beta 2 then it does on my normal XP/Vista install....very strange.....

coolied Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 CS:S runs a lot better (for me) under Mac OS X 10.5.4 Leopard with Crossovers then it does on Windows XP/Vista. Is this strange or is it just me? Same thing goes with GTA: San Andreas... It's your video chipset. The GMA950 is an EXTREMELY weak GPU. It just happens to apparently have better OSX drivers than Windows drivers. Of course, it probably doesn't support all the fancy graphical effects on Leopard. It's the DirectX support in Windows that slows it down. EDIT: and nope, your GPU will not be upgradeable. Even among identical model laptops (my Aspire 5920 being an example) the integrated GPU versions use a different motherboard than the discrete GPU versions. There are silkscreenings on the board for a MXM slot (the proper name for what's being referred to as mini-pcie; graphics cards don't come in that formfactor; MXM stands for Mobile eXpress Module and was designed by nVidia, even these tend to differ in type between MXM-I, MXM-II, etc.) but the slot physically isn't present.
