I heard rumors that pc/laptops should see a spike in specs soon to minimize the gap between it and "next-gen" graphics (ps4/XboxOne?), so I do not know if I should wait on that. Its disappointing, isn't it? Even worse if it keeps happening in 2014. If the rule I said is true (games usually support at least 2 year old hardware), that means my '08 macbook has lower spec than a '03 computer. I am just expecting that if I see a game released in 2012-2013 and I like it should run on my laptop in acceptable form.Ĭiv 4 that was released in '05 has the status of "MIGHT RUN" on my 08 laptop, that means it does not meet minimum requirement. I just want to say I am not looking for a dedicated GAMING laptop. '03 -> '08 ? Most desktop computers were probably slower than 2014 laptops for the articles. If not, then what use was the Dolphin emulator in around I see that Dolphin emulator was released in 2003, for sure any computer today can run laps around any computer from back then. The keyword here is OK, but that does not seem to be the case.

Buy a Mac for all the other stuff the Mac does well, and then find workarounds for games that don't work well or don't exist on the Mac, like using Boot Camp to boot to am very well aware that Macs are not built to game, and I am not expecting it to run the super resolutionsI hear about (4k) but don't you expect a $1k laptop will be able to run games like Bioshock? Not only that, but games are usually made so that they would run fine on at least 2 year old hardware, so if I buy a mac in 2015 I should be ok with games released in 2017. So yeah, the Mac is OK for games, but don't buy one for games.

This does not address, however, the fact that Mac ports of games are slow in coming and Apple's drivers are usually designed for pros instead of gamers.

Apple's soon to be released Mac Pro is considered a bargain for the power delivered, for example, particularly because the custom video cards are comparatively cheap next to their standard form-factor PC counterparts. Once you move to the upper-middle and high-end tiers, Apple will often match or beat the competition on power or price. This means you can get PCs with the same level of power for less, but if you try and buy the more fully-featured models with all the bells and whistles the Apples have, the PC models often end up being just as expensive if not more. At the lower end, yes, but largely because Apple doesn't do low-end machines, which means Apple's robustly configured entry-level hardware (in truth, mid-grade hardware) has to compete with low end PCs which are stripped down to be about power and not quality or features. Set out your wants/needs from your computer(s), and then find a solution that fits.ĬRTGAMER wrote:For the same price point the PC will have more power then the Mac. IMO, it's a lot more practical to build a gaming desktop, and then see whatever gaming your laptop can manage as a bonus.
INTEL IRIS PRO MAC DOLPHIN EMULATOR 720P
I'd think that it should do alright for 720p on those games, but I wouldn't say it's especially suited for gaming. Crammed into a thin/light laptop, it'll likely be clocked slower and/or throttled, resulting in worse performance. Anandtech tested it in a desktop setup (mobile CPU, just saying, power and heat were not as limited).and it still fell short of an nvidia 650M, which is a mid range discrete part from 2012. Intel Iris Pro is a nice improvement of their previous integrated graphics, but it's still just integrated graphics. This Ars article explains how an SNES emulator can tax a (mostly) modern machine. You're talking about simulating the original hardware, which can be extremely demanding, and then running the original program on top of it. When you're talking about emulation though, you're not talking about running that old code.
