How fast game works on new Retina's book ?

I have the latest Retina macbook ME294.

Video config:

• Intel Iris Pro Graphics
• NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M
  with 2GB GDDR5 memory

Has anybody tried on such macbook's ?

it'll run pretty bad. PA is mainly a GPU hog. you'll have to turn graphics down alot to get decent framerate.

Not to mention, turn down that exceptional resolution of yours.

If that is true, I must buy a new computer specially for PA...( Sorrowfully.

But most games works fine on new macbooks. For example Starcraft 2 show 50-60 fps if I change middle HDR in options. Only this.

Graphic in the PA a bit worse, so I can't imagine how it possible.

nonono.
just play it on your retina.

do you have a liking for high graphics or something?
they don't make the game.

I just said it'll be laggy for high graphics, it should run decent for lowest graphic settings.

I'm jealous of your retina, those screens really kick serious a ss.

I think the game will look well even if I open in non-Retina resolution or windowed. Thanks.

Waiting for answers from macbook owners about real FPS on different resolutions.

PA is almost entirely CPU limited at the moment, not GPU. Your laptop will be fine. I play on a 2011 mac book pro, non-retina, and while it's not screaming fast, it's still quite playable. And as we optimize more and more, it will simply get better.

Adjust your settings, and especially resolution scaling, and you'll find a setting balance you like that looks good and gives good frame rate.

I've got a Gateway NV59C which has:
Intel Core i5-480M (2 core that simulates 4 cores for some reason)
Intel HD Graphics
4GB DDR3 Memory

I set resolution scaling down to 50%, set all graphics options to lowest, made a tiny desert planet with water level set to zero to try to play the game. I get in the game and get 1.2fps... then down to .4, completely unplayable. I managed to build a few things in another game (3 things) and it was very painful to do so. Is my laptop not expected to be able to play the game on a tiny map even or is something perhaps wrong? I was 'playing' against a single AI. Most recent other game I've played on this thing is Path of Exile and it handled that decently. I just updated my drivers and didn't seem to make any difference (atleast for the better).

Tatsu was being sarcastic.

I have an NVIDIA 650M. And the game runs beautifully.

I... don't think you have a graphics card.
Integrated Graphics probably won't cut it. I'm sorry.

Your system is pretty poor; but I have seen people with worse specs playing with better frame rates than yours. Your problem is (although could be a huge range of other things- such as out of date drivers) the fact you put the planet on zero water. This boosts up the features and chokes your ram to death. A zero water planet takes something like twice the ram a watery planet does; and with 4gb you don't have much to spare.

Ah, that explains why that test run ran a lot slower, thought maybe the water was slower, guess I'll put it back up. But I guess with integrated graphics on a laptop I should just not bother to ever expect to play it even on a small map with this thing?

Give it another go. You may get lucky?

I did it. I bought demo version and tried on my Retina ME294 and I have some interesting information.

If I start game with UBER Quality Preset (ALL options max) it brings very poor FPS (about 15-20).

But I found If turn off HDR option begin work much faster - 25-50 FPS.

I think HDR isn't important option, so we can play without it
