Hi guys,
I haven't been on the forums for a little while, but I'm back with a question that's been nagging at me since I ordered the Mass Effect 3 Limited Edition, and sent it away to a place that I won't be at for a little while more.
My question is this: How are people finding Mass Effect 3 to run on their Macs? I saw a video on youtube of someone with a late 2011 Macbook Pro running the game maxed at high res at 55-60fps (they reported). I have an early 2011 model (2.2 i7, 6750m 1gb), and understand there is at most a 15% performance increase between our two graphics cards (mine and the person who made the video). Therefore, 0.85 or seventeen twentieths of sixty is around fifty frames per second on a good day.
This may seem to make this entire thread redundant, however I downloaded the ME3 demo and ran it without overclock (I never do), and found that it ran at high res with max settings (not much customization potential in the visual settings) in the first part of the demo at anywhere from 20-50 FPS, but mostly in the 30 range. It seemed to stay at 30 as though it were locked there, and only raised to 60 and stayed there at 1280x800.
I'm basically wondering if there's anyone out there with a similar or same configuration as mine who is playing Mass Effect 3 and has results that they could share with me conveniently in this thread. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thankyou all,
Ellery
