Keffoo321 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Today I managed to finally install Snow Leopard on my PC and get all the drivers installed... I think. I have my highest resolution working (1920x1080x32@60Hz) but I am still confused. First of all the top bar doesn't look like other people have it. Mine is almost completely white and other people have a grey bar thats a little transparent. And my animations and videos are a little laggy. Videos at 1080p are impossible to watch on youtube. It lags allot. But my gpu is a Sapphire ATI 6870 HD and thats a very fast card. Even 720p videos can be a little laggy. Im sure I got good drivers installed because it says at my mac info that I have a 6800 series card. Why is it still lagging? Thanks to everyone in advance!

Read, video card is not used but software rendering is used instead. In other words enable graphics acceleration (search for how-to) and all should be good.

I did just update to 10.6.6 because. And it works! First I couldnt update because my mouse and keyboard didnt work but i found a fix. The bar at the top is normal like other people have and my animations go smooth. Only thing that bothers me is that I still cant watch 1080p without lag. I am going to tweak around a little and see what happens. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/259175-gpu-is-slow/#findComment-1696822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
