I need some help with WCIII under bootcamp

[KingYaba]

I don't know what's going on. Never used boot camp until recently. When I play DotA under OS X I normally get a frame rate of 120 at the beginning of the game and usually dips to about 70 or so frames per second during the height of game play. In Windows (XP Home 32bit) I get a max of 59-60 frames per second at the start of the game... This makes me feel like I'm getting half the performance I should be getting. Is something wrong? Which system is reporting the wrong frame rate?

The only other thing I noticed that's wrong is when I click on system information, the computer thinks I have 512mb of video memory when I should have 128. Anyone know how to correct this?

Please move this into the Windows on the Mac section if you, the mod(s), believe it belongs there instead.

Is something wrong?

No.

Which system is reporting the wrong frame rate?

Neither are.

The frame rate is capped in the Windows version of Warcraft (it's not related to VSync). I haven't reached a limit on the Mac version yet. Having unlimited frames in the Mac side is overkill and drains your battery quicker than it needs to. If you want to adjust the max fps in Mac Warcraft, you need to do it in singleplayer. Just type in "/maxfps xx". This setting carries over to multiplayer.

Thanks! But I never play this game on battery power. Any word on why Xp thinks I have 512 megabytes of video memory?
