i just got hold of a mac.

i want to know what it can do, but im pretty hardware illiterate. Using crysis as a benchmark, how well can it perform? Or can it even run it?

Specs:

2.8GHz Intel Core i5

2560 by 1440 res

8 gb memory

1TB hard drive

8x double layer superdrive

ATI Radeon HD 5750 with 1 GB

Thanks in advance, appreciate it.

i want to know what it can doZerocrossings

i intend to install Windows at some point.

So i just need to lower the resolution then. Alright, thanks a lot man.

not reying to sound mean TC but you cant be that blind on what a MAC OC can or cant run

What you should do is get ethier get rid of the MAC OS and put on Windows 7 or do a dual boot with both. Because Boot Camp runs Windows slower then normal and their arent to many games that are Mac ready. But the system is pretty good it will play most games on high settings but at that resolution the card will struggle with some games.04dcarraher

Wow. This topic reads of blind fanboyism... Why would Windows run slower in Boot Camp than on an equivilent pc? You do realise that Mac OSX doesn't run in the background or something while running Windows through Boot Camp... Boot Camp is a clean windows install. Its windows. No difference in performance...

They are a bit more expensive than PC games, but thats only because there isn't the same market for them:

Im sorry? I never mentioned anything about OS, just asking about hardware. I can install Windows 7 anywayso itsnot a big issue.

With Windows it'll be a pretty solid gaming laptop/PC. Some steam games are OS X compatible so with certain games you won't even need Windows.

You must be loving that resolution haha. Unfortunately, you'll have to scale the resolution down for a lot of games as another poster mentioned, but it should run pretty solid.
