ok i see... coz its a little frustrating as my current desktop
is sort of a gaming machine but not a really good one like gigabyte
motherboard, c2 duo 2.66ghz and 8500 gt 512mb card and 4gb ram and
gta 4 runs like SLOW MO!
i was wondering if i should just chuck it and get a new one...
or should i just change some parts?
was enquiring abt the macbook coz my dad is getting one at
sitex
Well you got quite a decent computer, probably you need to
update the graphics card & if you want the processor. I have no
idea why you gta iv runs that slow, probably the settings are
wrong, my specs is almost like you except that I have 2gb of RAM
& a 8600 GT 256MB, but I able to get decent framerate of around
30fps. You can try to adjust the graphics settings like adjusting
your aspect ratio and resolution correctly & set all the
details to medium while the texture quality at high (adjust it
according to your computer peformance) and for the slider, I drag
all the 4 slider to the lowest except the detail distance (highest)
and view distance to an appropriate value. Lastly apply UGT, it
should save you a few framerates.
Macbook /(Pro) can be good if you are not into serious gaming
but if you are into serious gaming than it is the wrong choice,
they are more useful for documents, casual gaming or photos/video
editing.
