Guild Wars 2

New Mac Pro
• 3.7GHz quad-core with 10MB of L3 cache
• 16GB (4×4GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC
• 256GB PCIe-based flash storage
• Dual AMD FirePro D300 GPUs with 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM each

mid-2010 Mac Pro
-3.33GHz hexa-core, 8GB L3 cache
-16GB RAM (2 × 8GB) 1333 MHz
-ATI Radeon HD 5870
-27" mac LED cinema display 2560 × 1440
-240GB PCIe SSD: OWC Mercury Accelsior ~750MB/s read and write, 100k IOPS (used for OS and applications)
-3 × 256GB OCZ Agility 4 with software RAID 0: should be 1260MB/s and 255k IOPS, but mac pro only has SATA 2 which maxes at 300 MB/s total (used for photos, videos, older OS, storage)
-1 × 256GB OCZ Agility 4 with bootcamp Windows XP (I did this to play GW2 before this beta came out)
-external 2 × 2TB HDD for backups

It could be said I made several impulse buys :P

Mmm the bootcamp. Are they same as fps ?

Performance on Windows is about 20% better. You also get a higher texture option when running on 64bit Win.

What is the point of that thread?

well, I rarely use that anymore. I left it cause I didn’t need the extra space. I do remember that there was no noticeable difference when I switched from bootcamp to mac beta (when mac beta originally came out). I have a feeling that would no longer be the case. I’ll give it a try – FOR SCIENCE!

Who says threads need a point? sometimes people are just curious.
