Sure I'd like to see a video. If you can also do a close up of some objects and textures that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
I've got a 2012 2.6GHz 15" rMBP, 16GBs RAM, not overclocked. My settings are:
Resolution: 1680x1050
Antialiasing: On
Texture Detail: High
Texture Filtering: Normal
Dynamic Shadows: Low
Post Processing: Normal
Light Shafts: On
Ambient Occlusion: Normal
Object Level of Detail: Normal
Lock Framerate: Off (but with Vertical Sync turned on in the Nvidia controls)
I get an average of 30fps (min 27 max 61) when playing, which feels fine to me since this is the first game I've played in a long time that wasn't on a console.

That's really good (being limited by the HD4000 graphics), and I feel that the 2.9 GHz i5 and GeForce GT 650M 512 MB in my 2012 iMac should be nothing but smooth at 1920 x 1080! Waiting til Feral drops the Mac version in July.
that isn't HD4000, that's a GT 650M with 1GB memory (or 2, it's configurable). All rMBP 15-inch have 650m
I stand corrected. I read the thread, but didn't look at his sig that specified the 15". Good catch.
Actually I don't think you could configure the rMBP with 2 GB of video RAM. I wish though!
I played the entire game maxed out. It was amazing. I was using a 1680 resolution for the first half, and 2880 for the last part.
No stutter at all! -Watch some douche tell me i'm lying though -_-
But **** it, it was an amazing game and the storyline was INCREDIBLE. I posted some screenshots in the other BioShock thread.

...On a rMBP? Could you post video?

Oops, sorry. I've edited my original post to specify 15". The 13" rMBPs weren't out yet when I got mine, so I forget that's an option.
I had no idea Bioshock Infinite to be this demanding.
I have a 7970 crossfire custom built PC, and maxed out it was running at 120 FPS in big areas and in intense combat. Granted, it went up to 200-250 indoors and with no action, but still, 120 in combat is pretty low for my setup.
Pretty sure that's about the performance I would get from Battlefield 3.
Running a 660m at 1085/2500
Resolution: 1080p
Antialiasing: On
Texture Detail: Ultra
Texture Filtering: Ultra
Dynamic Shadows: High
Post Processing: Normal
Light Shafts: On
Ambient Occlusion: Normal
Object Level of Detail: Ultra
Lock Framerate: Off (but with Vertical Sync turned on in the Nvidia controls)
Averages arounf 40-55 fps.
This game is seriously Vram hungry, running 314.22 uses consistently around 1800 MB vram in outdoor areas, which is weird because I have yet to see the game use more than 1 GB system ram. Apple really screwed people over the 512 MB cmbp. Seems to be a memory leak? because firing up the game initially uses only 700 MB and gradually increases to 1.8 GB after about 10 minutes.

Sadly, the last Mac game I remember to have significantly better FPS over the PC version was quake 3 and that was because one of the developers was like a Bavarian artisan when it came to optimizing
The fact is they usually don't put the time in on the Mac port so it usually performs worse or around on par at best
