Guild Wars 2

GW2 is running well on my mid 2010 iMac under OSX 10.8.2. I’m getting mid 38+/- FPS on medium settings. Low 24+/- on high settings. I have upgraded my HD to SSD and my ram to 12gb so I’m wondering how much of a difference that is making.

I’m posting this because I was reluctant to buy the game due to reports of bad performance. I even went ahead and made a windows 7 partition because I thought I wouldn’t be able to run the game. Glad to see its running well for me under OS X!

I’m on the same machine and you won’t think it runs well anymore once you get into WvW and into a zerg or participate in one of the bigger dynamic events. Just running around by yourself or with a friend you will get acceptable frame rates but go into Lions Arch and they will drop considerably.

Get into a zerg in WvW or a large dynamic event and it becomes a slideshow.

True, I’m having trouble finding huge battles in WvW right now to determine my FPS. My server is dominating too hard.

I am running a 2011 iMac 2.93GHz Intel core i7 12gb DDR3 memory. ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024mb OS X 10.8.2

I am downloading the game now. About half way done.
I am hoping the game will run fine on my mac side. If not I will run it in bootcamp.

It should run fine. Your specs are better than mine, besides the SSD. Still not sure how much of an impact that makes..

Ya I am really hoping so. I run most games on Ultra so will be weird to not do that lol. I also have a 50mb internet connection but not sure how that will affect anything in an MMO.

Right on. Let us know how it runs. I’m sure prospective players would like to know peoples experience with macs of various specs.

In wvw mac client tends to crash a lot :/, im running mid 2011 iMac 3.1ghz i5 1gb 6970m and 8 gb RAM
