LMAO, look how small the icons look.
That is prime real estate right there!

Does the lightning around your computer changes as well, or is that just weird reflection caused by something else in the room? It seemed to change during the recording.
SHIT GRAPHICS.
@mannyy1294 yeah, but i would prefer native because when i eventually get the iMac 27 inch core i7. I’ll be using windows for gamming and mac for everything else. Emulation of the OS would not be good for gamming at all.
@mng1994 u can have windows and mac, u can even work on both at the same time
Bootcamp is Native, Parallels and VMWare Fusion Emulate
It boots into the operating system, it’s not a vm.
Cheers mate I just ordered one of those babys and wait!! excellent VId
crossover on mas os x runs steam great
Nice, he’s not shure what graphicscard is in this 2.5k dollar 27″ iShit.
is that the i5 version?
@mng1994 it runs natively in a dual boot setup, when mac boots you hold option and you can choose whether to boot into osx or windows.
Does Bootcamp run windows NATIVELY? Or does it EMULATE the whole OS?
wow, you suck at trackmania
xD
Press option when you click on the icon and make sure you enable the advanced graphics options. That will enable the higher settings in your games.
@biprotic
actually 64 bit would run better on his mac because he has over 4GB of RAM
Wow, triple post… but for everyone asking him to re-do the testing in Windows 7, there won’t be any difference.
If anything the performance in Windows 7 will be slightly worse just because it uses more resources than an 8 year old OS (Windows XP).
Windows 7 might eventually lead to better performance with games that use newer technologies (like tessellation in DX11), but overall there’s no real gain. (7 is still a great OS, it matches XP’s performance more closely than Vista does).
The 32 bit operating system won’t affect game performance much. The games you’re playing are all 32 bit to begin with (HL2 does have a 64 bit mode, and Crysis does as well, but the performance difference is negligible).
Source games are VERY CPU dependent. Core i7 is an amazing architecture, so it explains why all your source games run flawlessly (and Sandbox mod runs fine seeing as how its from BF2).
Try an Unreal Engine 3 game to stress test your GPU.
It won’t run Crysis on ‘very high’ settings because that technically requires DX10. There are, however, hacked settings files that allow you to select the ‘very high’ settings in DX9 mode.
You cannot install DX10 on Windows XP, no matter how many people claim to have done it, it simply does not work properly (and you’re not missing out on anything, the ‘very high’ restriction is artificial, they could have easily allowed DX9 users to access those settings, which is why the crack exists).
Is that the model with the ATI 4670 you’re referring to?
Its possible that since you are running a 32Bit OS, that the game wont allow you to run in Very high settings.
I have had a 27 inch imac for a few weeks now, its the basic quad core model. I have ran crysis warhead, cod mw2 with no problems. I am running this on xp 32 bit. I had problems installing win7 64 bit but managed it in the end. Games kept erroring with win7. As its not supported by apple yet. I also ran xp64 and again had some issues as its not supported. I could run every game at full res with about 2 x anti aliasing. Any higher and then smoke rendering in mw2 made the game a bit laggy.
Any chance of seeing TF2 gameplay? I am probably gonna buy an i7 iMac but i play TF2 alot and it would be great to not need to buy a new gaming PC
Cool.
mine was make in week 49, and ive had no problems what so ever
