    Can my Macbook Pro run games on 27'' Cinema display without lag?

    Okay thanks. I might roll the dice on a 512MB nVidia card being able to run a game (Swat 4, released 2005) that predates it by at least 4 years - even at a far higher resolution than I'm currently on.

    Can my Macbook Pro run games on 27'' Cinema display without lag?

    Rpmucha23, Thanks for the reply. I'm playing Swat 4, it uses Directx9. The game was made in 2005. Do you know if I'd lag on it?

    Can my Macbook Pro run games on 27'' Cinema display without lag?

    Machine: late 2009 model Macbook Pro Video card: *This system has dual graphics processors -- a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT with 512 MB of dedicated GDDR3 SDRAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory. Two questions: The first game I'd want to run on...

    Macbook Pro user considering switch to Alienware m18x

    I'm a pretty loyal Apple customer. I don't have many doubts as to overall build quality. The interior of a Mac Pro for instance is pretty awesome. What I'm hoping to eventually see is a video where a user disassembles each laptop, shows you whats under the hood, explains in detail how well each...

    Macbook Pro user considering switch to Alienware m18x

    Thanks ToastyBread. I've actually had my eye on a 27'' Cinema Display for a while. I even bought a Twelve South Book Arc to use as a dock for my MBP in case I bought one, but I haven't pulled the trigger since I've been eying the Alienware system and absent a special costly converter, the cinema...

    Macbook Pro user considering switch to Alienware m18x

    I stay booted in Windows (on my current 15'' MBP) 70% of the time. I go through cycles though -- for a while I stayed in OSX because I'd use Windows at work. Obviously for FPS gaming I use Windows. I don't use the MBP for design purposes. I bought it for portability, build quality and the...

    Swat 4, no widescreen support for Windows 7?

    I agree! I read an article recently though saying that whilst Sierra wanted to publish Swat 5, the game developers are not interested (citing the Bio Shock game & other projects). FWIW, I found the fix to my issue that didn't resolve playing with the problematic .ini file. If you google Gez...

    Macbook Pro user considering switch to Alienware m18x

    Thanks for the reply. Regarding the fan application you use, may I ask why? I thought that the fans naturally kick on to the required level of intensity based on the stress of the GPU? So, wouldn't it naturally arrive on max if you are gaming? I assume you just hit "max" or similar when you...

    Macbook Pro user considering switch to Alienware m18x

    Any users out there own Mac and Alienware machines? I'm running a 15'' Macbook Pro, late 2008 model. I suspect by holiday season I'll upgrade. Here are the two machines I'm considering, then I'll ask a few questions below. Each configuration is intentionally ~$2,600 for comparison purposes...

    Swat 4, no widescreen support for Windows 7?

    Nvidia's scaling feature is buggy, at least my version. When you click anything aside from the default 'use my display's built in scaling', after you click apply/ok it reverts back to that. The workaround is to lower your resolution, which I tried, but the bottom of the Swat 4 game still has the...

    Swat 4, no widescreen support for Windows 7?

    Hi YeuEmMaiMai, Thank you for addressing my post. Unfortunately, I use nVidia (my current system is a Macbook Pro). I've attached a screenshot of the section I believe pertains to your GPU scaling suggestion. Would I click 'Use Nvidia scaling' instead of use my display's built in scaling...

    Swat 4, no widescreen support for Windows 7?

    Any Swat 4 players here? I'm trying to force a resolution of 1440x900. The "Widescreen Gaming Wiki" suggests editing the Swat4.ini file. Swat 4.ini lines (On Windows 7, .ini is hidden in ~/appdata/virtualstore/sierra) This doesn't work on Windows 7. I've even saved the .ini as a...

    Best mouse for bigger hands?

    The G700 is great and I have big hands. The downsides are the crappy Setpoint software that doesn't always play well with Windows 7, and the sensitivity hiccups with the mouse that seem to be commonly reported. I would easily love this mouse if those two factors weren't there, and I've used two...
