Would anyone have a Guest Pass from a boxed D3 that they could send my way? I just picked up my base rMBP a few days ago, and really want to try how it runs before I make the purchase.
 
Average FPS with Diablo 3

Hi, I have the rMBP 2.6 ghz i7 with 16 gb of ram. I have my computer off of the battery saving preferences when I play games, so it is instantly using 650M. I've been playing and the game is a steady 30 FPS but I thought it'd be higher. What is the issue here? My default settings are put on high and I have V-Sync on because the screen tearing was terrible. Other than that, shouldn't my computer be killing this thing at atleast 50 FPS? Help, thanks.

What resolution?
 
I was getting a constant 60 FPS maxed out at 1200P, so that is odd.

Honestly it is odd, I'm thinking maybe the FRAPs counter is messed up...locked at 30 or something. Because I'm a gamer and the game looks to be running at 60 FPS. Unless my eyes deceive me. Oh, well. I'm just neurotic about this stuff.

Why run it under Windows? Works perfect under OS X.
 
Inte's HD 4000 has a large increase in performance relative to older integrated graphics. If I were you I would youtube videos of people showing off the HD 4000. You should be able to play most games with the exception of really demanding games such as BF3 (unless you want to play at graphics that are worse than consoles).
