hiya, i noticed this thread when i was searching about the low FPS i was getting on my macbook pro retina display as well … when you said you reset your SMC … sorry if this is a noob question, but what is the SMC? cause i have the macbook pro retina display as well, and i noticed with the beta client with the res at 2880×1800 with best performance mode im getting no more then 20 fps … and even if i shrink it to 2048×1200 i get no more then 22 fps … i figured as you said with the specs in our computers we could easily handle getting 40 fps on max settings or something close to it??
