Running on a 2013 Macbook Pro, was fairly choppy



Then I toned down the settings quite a bit. It seemed somewhat smooth:

On high desktop settings at 1920x1080 I got Fairly High, which I believe was mid-3000s. I'll do it again later and post a picture. But considering my graphics card (I had a GTX 570 but it died) I'm not too surprised. I plan on picking up a GTX 970 or maybe a 980 if the price drops later on.
