bjoggi33 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 It should probably run pretty fine, i suggest for the best performance upgrading it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindapop Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Is in built-in graphics??? I have a macbook, only a year old and I have 4gbs RAM with a Geforce 9400m built-in graphics with 256MB of memory and it only gets 2 and a half stars. I have the settings on medium and its runs fine, but crank it up to high and it seems to struggle abit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davhislop Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 that seems abit wrong? do ye have the latest drivers installed for it, av done some more reading and i think the card in mine should get to 5 stars with the latest drivers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindapop Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Macs automatically update drivers, although i do check regularly. There is a massive difference between built-in graphics (which to my knowledge are the only option for all macbook pro's) and actual graphics cards. I had another check and i actually only get 2 stars, which to me does sound right. What makes you think it should get the full 5 stars?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davhislop Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 av just been told by a member who seems to know alot about system specs that it will get 5 stars?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
