Sure



RE: Mac OS X hardware - thevolta89 - 04-19-2012

how well though ... would i be able to raise the resolution and keep full fps?


RE: Mac OS X hardware - admin89 - 04-19-2012

Xenoblade should run fine , not full FPS all the time though
Max FPS PAL : 25 FPS
Max FPS NTSC : 30FPS
If you have PAL version , it should be around 23-25FPS
Max Setting for Nvidia GT 540M : 2.5x IR (1600x1320) , No AA , 16x AF
Also 8gb of Ram is wasteful , 4Gb of Ram is more than enough . Save the money for better CPU(i7-2760QM) if you want full speed all the time

As long as turbo boost stays stable at 3.1 it should do well


RE: Mac OS X hardware - admin89 - 04-19-2012

It won't happen . i7 2670qm @ 3.1Ghz is single core mode
He will get 2.8-2.9Ghz (2 cores) if he's lucky


RE: Mac OS X hardware - thevolta89 - 04-20-2012

soooooo... the specs i put up ... is that good or no? lol ... what is turbo boost and will 8 gb ram ruin it or are you just saying it's too much for what i need it for ...
by the way i'm using xenoblade ntsc if that makes any difference whatsoever


RE: Mac OS X hardware - Zee530 - 04-20-2012

Well according to admin you wont get fullspeed all the time on xenoblade but it should still be playable along with a majority of other titles


RE: Mac OS X hardware - thevolta89 - 04-20-2012

isn't 25 to 30 fps basically how it is on the wii anyway?

Yup , you will have 26-30 FPS (NTSC)
That should be playable/enjoyable without lag
