I posted this in the apple products forum but thought maybe someone might know something here so I am reposting. Apologies for the double post, but I am guessing not everyone checks the apple forums. I know there are some pretty smart guys that read these threads and I'm hoping someone has a solution for me.
I have a Macbook Pro 15inch 2011. I have the hard drive partitioned for Mac OS and Windows 7 pro 32bit. I honestly only use the Mac partition for work and windows for all my gaming. At first this was fine but lately games aren't running very well. I have a dual monitor set up with the Macbook monitor and a 22 inch external monitor connected with an hdmi cord. I display the desktop on the external monitor and use it as the main display with the macbook monitor displaying the extended desktop. I would post the specs from a dxdiag but I'm posting this from work and don't have the computer with meso I'll list them manually.
Processor: 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 8MB shared L3 cache
4GB (two 2GB SO-DIMMs) of 1333MHz DDR3 memory
750GB 5400-rpm hard drive
Radeon HD 6750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory on 2.2GHz configuration
Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory
I'm getting low fps and slow load times. When I played WoW and Skyrim, I didn't have these problems. I got 40 to 60 fps and never had issues with loading or reading web pages while the game was running. When I run games like Diablo 3, Everquest 2, Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012, I'm lucky to get 6 to 10 fps. Basically these games are almost unplayable.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what will make these games run better. I meet all of the recommended specs for the games but they don't play like I think they should given the quality of the hardware.
