Madden 2008... BEFORE the season ends?!

[twoodcc]

I have a dual 3ghz Xeon Mac Pro with 5gb of RAM and a Radeon X1900 with 512mb of vRAM. It displayed correctly in Tiger, but not in Leopard,

yeah, it's not working in leopard yet. hopefully they'll fix it soon

did you guys read this thread? it appears my overheating theory may have been correct- at least for ati cards. especially in the new iMacs. i guess it always made perfect sense- metal encasement + graphics intense game= overtaxing of chip = overheating of vid card = freeze.

anyone else who is has a pro tower try taking off one side of the case and see if that helps. that's IF you can run the game at all after installing leopard. even if you don't have an ati card i still hold by the fact that the card is being overworked by the game.

i would try it without the case, but it doesn't work with leopard

I haven't noticed any performance problems, just all the text is in the wrong spot and unreadable.

If anything, metal case helps dissipate heat, so it should alleviate the problem, not the other way around.
