bad thread name.
what about, "windows twice as fast as os x on this one fps test i did on WoW and since WoW makes me cream myself i am seeing red and starting this thread"
Windows twice as fast as OS X — #22
So basically, nothing's changed. Macs aren't for games. I knew that when I switched, and I was a huge gamer.
But I still have no regrets.

*sigh*
Since the graphics subsystem is a pretty deep one, and relies on many portions of the OS being well-designed, I'd say that saying "X is faster than Y" is justified when ref…

I thought Windows was three times as fast as OS X

Look at the latest Cinebench tests. They show (at least potentially -- Cinema 4D hasn't been updated just yet) that when apps have been well-optimized for Apple's OpenGL APIs, OS …

rhashem: Ahh, that's interesting about the drivers. I figured that OS X would be taking the best advantage that it can of the 3D hardware.
Anyway, you say that the only point that…

I've been reading that the clock speed of the graphic card in the MacBookPro has been reduced by Apple in order to reduce heat and save battery life. Perhaps when you boot into win…

Gee, that's quite insightful. You've convinced me.

It's not really defensiveness. You claimed that Windows is twice as fast as OS X. You have done nothing to prove it. I don't know what else to say.
Windows twice as fast as OS X — #36
I showed that Windows is twice as fast as OS X in this particular game. Other game benchmarks show a similar story.
To clarify the statement, Windows is twice as fast as OS X for …

I think "twice as fast" is an exaggeration in most cases (including this, which seems to be showing the bad full-screen glow behavior more than anything else). Most 3-D games proba…

Well, I guess we'll just have to see once more OpenGL benchmarks start popping up. :-)
I think some Doom 3/Quake 4 action would be a good indicator.

I call people "zealots" for blindly apologizing for/denying certain truths that they would otherwise harp on if it were on the competitor's side.
