It looks much nicer.Resolutionator makes it simple to use any of your display's available resolutions. I do photography, and my Mac is ace for that, too.īottom line: The New 2019 MacBook Pro 15 inch with Radeon 560x is just fine for normal past time play…way better than my 2013 which also worked well enough for casual gaming. I hate windows PCs because there is still a real world to work in and do other things besides gaming.įor non-gaming snobs who enjoy a past time then the mac is the best option…or at least a fair option if you do more than gaming…and need more than gaming as a past time. I think those are fairly meant to be disposable anyway Better to trash a cheap dedicated PC gaming unit. If your book gets hot, then it is literally burning and cooking…and might as well set your wad of money on fire and watch it burn up.

If you just gotta play wow on a Mac to its fullest potential (push your MacBook beyond intended purpose), then install windows…but it seems like a dubious prospect as common sense (or at least basic deduction skill) would indicate. And windows is even more trippy and twitchy on a Mac. Windows on MacBook did allow third party over clocking and fan control, but Apple doesn’t like that because the MacBooks are finely tuned specifically. Not so great I think for a long term 3200 dollar investment.

On the 2013, I did once install windows, and wow played much better that way, but it made my laptop pretty hot playing on setting 5 which it would do while in Mac OS it simply refused to cooperate. My 2013 pro struggled above setting three, but I played wow for years on that thing. For casual players who just wanna play and enjoy, then it’s perfectly fine.

Above this my frame rate noticeably slows and struggles and the case heats up.įor a gaming snob, well…they are the Mac haters. If I keep my settings to 5 or 6, it works well.

My fan revs up pretty quickly, but the case stays only barely warm. I just got a new 2019 MacBook Pro with the Radeon pro 560x upgraded from the 2013 15 inch. So any advice I could give about specific Mac hardware other than my own would be no more than a guesstimate.Īll I can really do with the guide anymore is give an example of how it performs on my middle of the pack machine, and teach best practices in finding the best settings on your own.

My main computer is a “hackintosh”, MacOS running on high-end PC hardware, so I have to make a point to ignore my main computer and do all of my testing on that Macbook Pro whenever I update the guide. My working situation has changed several times since then so I no longer have access to any current Macs aside from my personal 2016 Macbook Pro. When I originally started this guide more than 9 years ago, I had relatively easy access to most Macs on the market at the time so I could list the “best” settings to play at for each Mac model. I’ve got a bunch of notes from all of the replies here slated to be included in the next major update to the guide when 8.2 drops.
