Heavensward : Mac Osx Tips (Improve Performance/FPS)

[Sigg]

Having owned a Mac before ... in general you don't install drivers.

Apple updates the drivers as they update the OS. You have no control over the drivers used.

i.e. Apple takes care of everything for you.

Yes normally you don't have to install drivers, though for my Radeon i had to install driver manually because the auto "apps" mac updates was messing with it, didnt want to aknowledge it & was only recognizing the intel basic card, even had to go re-edit a text file & add a line : MBP 8.3,

I really don't know for Nvidia though, i just checked on their website & ended on a cudadriver .dmg file. I don't know if it has the same issue that i had with Radeon, & also had to use Gfxcardstatus to enable the radeon & still have to at the moment. Maybe try Gfxcardstatus it might solve your issue. You might be able to check if it's active or not by going in Apple icon > about this mac > overview tab > system report > Graphics/Displays

Sorry for the late response !

3. Get Onyx applications from the App Store, it is free & will help you clean & delete unuseful files. Yes, i know, app store, ugh... Don't be a sloth & get it.

Open Onyx. Let it check Smart status & volume structure. When it is done, you can either go in Cleaning Tab & clean step by step :


Don't restart yet !

Thanks for this advice. Much of it is good advice even if one is not running a game on a Mac.

Though I did notice that Onyx is no longer available on the app store.
