Nvidia Geforce 320M and gaming...

Gaite62 -  
 Rom0307 -
Hello,
I would like to buy a 13" MacBook Pro and I wanted to know if the graphics card is powerful enough to play The Sims 3, which has an NVIDIA GeForce 320M. And more generally, if the Mac itself is powerful enough to run this game.
This is really the only game that would be used on it, but I still want some feedback.
Thanks in advance.

Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 8.0

It's not with a MACbook Pro that you'll have fun with a game, and even less with an Nvidia Geforce 320M...

The performance of MACbook Pros isn't even high enough to run the game itself, even with a powerful GPU...

Yes, but I'm not buying it just to game; I just want to know if this particular game runs fairly well on a MacBook Pro.

Ah well, you'll see the number of lags you'll have on your MacBook Pro, you'll be sick, even I tested The Sims 3 on a Mac OS X Snow Leopard with one of the latest ATI graphics cards made for Mac, and I didn't even have time to count 13 to see an astonishing number of lags. In short, Mac and PC games don't just not go together; it's four times worse ^^

The Sims 3 runs very well on a 13" MacBook from 2010 with an NVIDIA GeForce 320M!
I have BootCamped my Mac with Windows 7 64bits and I can run Anno 1701, CS:S, HL, Gmod, CoD...
In short, we've come across another "anti-Apple" rebel trying to infect us with his viruses because he's with Microsoft! :)

Nothing to do with it, I'm just making an observation; if I cared as much about Apple as I do about Microsoft, by now I would already be anorexic.

Personally, I can play Starcraft 2 with the 320m on low graphics, of course, but it works really well :)

If you plan to play, forget about Mac.
Even though The Sims 3 is not a very demanding game, is there really any pleasure in playing on a 13" screen with the graphics set to minimum? For me, no.

Especially yes, plus there is only a quarter of games on PC that have the license agreement for MAC in other words, you will find few for MAC, there are some but very few! :-)
