Heavensward : Mac Osx Tips (Improve Performance/FPS)

[Sigg]

Also, it's a myth that you "need" a Mac for graphics or music - that used to be the case, but Apple no longer has the best hardware, nor do they have the total market lockdown they used to enjoy.

Sigh are you a bloody Windows lobbyist xD, how much they pay you x) ? . Na more seriously YES Windows IS BETTER for GAMING, Yes you have better performance. Yes it costs less $ cause apple is stupidly expensive.

BUT Windows is BAD for music/sound design because : OPENGL ≠ DirectX + The Softs are more stable on mac + Less crashes = Less files lost/crashing playlists. DirectX wasnt made for Music. I tried every softs on windows & on Mac. Mac is better.& i work in this since decades

Really the day you'll have a job consisting in creating sound or playlist you'll know that you can't afford to lose your files because it's days/months of work, you don't have time to fix issues, you don't have time to re-install softs & plugins/addons, you can't have stability issues, you can't lose records just because "windows crashed send report", you can't have stuttering soft when you record someone

Really go ahead & try any DAW on windows. CU base sucks ass, cost way too much money, & is old as fuck. Fruity loops is a joke, isn't stable, crashes with recent plugins & addons, & Ableton live is out on windows since only, few months on windows & isn't stable yet, & DAW on windows usually result in several crashes & sometimes even BSOD, losing your files or even the whole hard disk *pop* no more files, screw your 4 months projects.

/!\ PLEASE read this before writing any sentence : I'm not here to argue about Windows being better or not & i really don't care. Ain't a pro mac (AT ALL), just making this thread to help people who are stuck on mac & can't bootcamp it. My config isn't clearly the best config at all, & i'm not here to compare config or D sizes. Some people can't afford both pc & mac because like me they bought a mac for Work. BUT i managed to run the game around 30 Fps (Which is a real improvement considering that fps was around 5-8 at the beginning) . This thread purpose is only to help people with Macs. Please let's not make this thread another "Fudge you mac windows is better " "get windows " like the billions we can already read everywhere on internet.
