MacBook Pro Retina Performance?

CodeCowboy

Is anyone running NS2 under bootcamp on a MBPr? How is the performance?

This.

Also, the game requires a hefty processor from clock speed and a good GPU for the resolution that display is at.

You could play it at a middling resolution with lower framerates at mid to late game with a lot of action IMO. You will not be able to run ambient occlusion also

MACS spelled backwards is SCAM.

The GPU will have to work double-time to pump out that resolution and I don't think the MBP's Nvidia chip is quite up to that.

the 650m fits roughly between the 2 recommended gpus in benchmarks - but at 2880-by-1800 resolution - no way. 1440x900 might be ok. On the CPU front - not sure about a 2.6G i7 since clock rate is king with this game. hey i7 owners, does turbo boost make a diff in ns2?

its actually running at 3.7 ghz turbo boost

dont expect good performance on a MBP
