Am I the only one who is playing this game on macbook (or Mac)?

Hi doc, you're not alone I play on a 2011 27 inch imac. Which should be enough to run smoothly but its a little choppy at all resolutions. How did all of you other Mac users configure yours. And to all you trolls Mac is not PC. Win 7 is NOT supported drivers are not supported its not a Cakewalk to configure. Our fans don't even work in win 7 and we need third party apps to stop our computer from having a melt down. So leave us the f*** alone. You are the elitest prick telling us to spend annother 1500 to play this one game. F*** you

It IS a PC, the 2011 iMacs use Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs and ATI (Check This) MOBILE GPUs. That Mobile GPU is what's really hindering you with your performance. If they had made it a little bigger with a desktop GPU it would likely be much better.

Regardless, I will say it as much as needed, the hardware is all PC hardware. They stopped using proprietary PowerPC hardware many years ago.

I'm not telling you to buy anything to play this game. What you're using is honestly like my current laptop, but not quite. My Gaming laptop uses a Desktop CPU and Mobile GPUs, where your iMac also uses a Desktop CPU with a single Mobile GPU.

Again, ALL PC HARDWARE. That's why Windows is capable of running on it in the first place. Windows runs on x86/AMD64 hardware, Windows 8 supposedly allows it to run on ARM as well. Your Mac is PC hardware whether you like it or not.

You're trying to win at an argument using technicalities. But in reality, if you marched up to Apple's headquarters and asked them if there was a difference between a Mac and a PC they would tell you a long list of differences (mainly because they purposely set themselves apart and have marketed themselves this way). So technically, you are correct. But the rest of the world knows the difference between the two so stop trying. This exists for a reason.

Yet when you toss Windows on the machine to play games that only run under Windows, there's not a whole lot different from the machine compared to similarly built non Mac.

Wow... seriously you just floored me with that statement right there. You know what? You're completely right. What was I thinking calling them by different names. From now on I will always refer to both as PC's no matter how much confusion I stir up in future conversations. You are so awesome. Let's get married.
