I have my Hexacore mac pro with 5870 win7 bootcamp on a separate SSD, running COD at around 40-60 fps at 1680x1050 at most at medium but a few things at high, thanks to that small mod that reduces texture sizes of things you can't really see.

Had no idea the 5870 was such a strong card, I run crysis 2 on max settings at 2560x1440 flawlessly, although the 1gb VRAm makes COD stutter, but with the tiny mod that's been released it's even less stutters! at www.netkas.org they say the 5870 eyefinity is working, it's got 2gb VRAm and should definetly get things smooth, I'm waiting for one to see if it really works, maybe if you're interested I'll let you know, cheers!

I'm running CoD on an i7 iMac with w7 64 bit bootcamp & 12GB Ram/ Ati 5750 and it is performing pretty good.
Most settings at low to medium 1680x1050 and I'm averaging about 30fps with no stutters.
I haven't tried any of the mods bar turning off the aero desktop which made a huge difference.
Just waiting for the official patch tomorrow so hopefully I can crank up the eye candy a bit more.

lol. here we go... pc users just cant help it! I wonder why they read threads about macs? They just wish they could afford our machines.. lol.

i7 win7 64 in bootcamp just the hd4850 (off top of head - not on it now). Runs ok but I need to work on the resolution for the 27inch screen.

Well unfortunately we have to delve into the dark side every now and then, just be thankful that we haven't got DX on the Mac OS and have to suffer with OpenGL as it would show up most PC's to be the mongrels they are....

Why would I want to over pay for my hardware??? I like my money and I think Steve Jobs has enough already. Only difference now with mac and pc is the os and price for components. PC cost less for the same mac equivalent. If you own a mac and want to run mainstream software you have to run a windows shell so what is the point. Mac has the nice WALLED in garden so you cant do the same as with PC. And typically, pc builders are smarter than mac users.
Case closed!

Because:

- it's so cool "being part of it"
- they are made of aluminum and glas
- Macs are idiot proof, whenever they fail, they sell it as a feature
- they dont have edges[just like the users]
- they are made of aluminum and glas - have I already mentioned they are incredibly cool?

Take a look at the mac homepage - what do reckon? They don't mention the tech specs of product, but the cool looks and the fact the use Al and glas.

The product itself is just overpriced, but it's the users I feel really sorry for.

Over 'n out.

I'm guessing that while you were still in nappies I was building PC's when it was still very much a dark science, so don't give it all the 'smarter than thou' crap.
Mac users use the platform generally because they'd more rather be using their equipment than delving into the insides trying to suss out wtf the burning smell is coming from....

NOW the case is closed.

I have both Macs and PC's.

The PC's are better for games, but only because the games were written for them.

Macs are better for everything else, their operating system and software is head and shoulders above a PC. Take Video editing for example, Final Cut Pro will run well on Macs with slower Intel CPU's, and give much better performance than a Windows editing program on a PC with a faster CPU.

Mac: No crashes, no operating system bugs, no online viruses, no problems.

They are too expensive though.
