Apple Updates Graphics Drivers Specifically for Games
August 25th, 2010 | Published in Apple, Games
I am a lazy bastard and I have been meaning to test this for days. Last week, Apple released a software update as shown below.
I found this strange since Apple is typically pretty vague about what it has fixed in many software updates. Good job on the part of Valve and Blizzard though in putting pressure on Apple to fix it’s graphics drivers. Anyways, I was curious if this would allow my Starcraft II install to run better on OSX. Previously, I could not run Starcraft II on “Ultra” graphics settings without having a framerate issue on my quad-core i7 iMac. With this new update though, I am not able to run with “Ultra” settings! I am happy. Granted that when I ran this test, Blizzard also installed an update, so that could have also affected the results. Anyways, I am looking forward now to better and better graphics performance in games on OSX!!!
