Hi guys - I'm new here, and I was thinking to buy PA from steam for mac (it's on sale right now so.. yeah) However, I was wondering if my computer can run PA at low-medium settings (because it's definitely not going to run high.) iMac 21.5 inch 2011 Mac OS X 10.9.2 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 (i5-2400S) 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 AMD Radeon HD 6750M (with 512mb of memory) Any help would be appreciated If this is the wrong sub forum - oops.
4GB Ram will very likely not be any fun. You'll probably be able to play small systems online only. Offline play needs 8gb ram.
As cola_colin noticed it's really unlikely game will work properly with 4GB especially on Mac. If you can increase your RAM to 8-12GB it's will work just fine.
Alright that's good to know - getting an upgrade to 12GB RAM in a few days so that should be fine. Only concern now is the graphics card having 512mb VRAM ; from what I have read, that isn't much...
Updated specs 12GB DDR3 RAM Everything else is the same. So I am running fine (so far) at Virtual Texture: High Headlights: Medium Shadows: Medium Ambient Occlusion: On Anti Aliasing: FXAA HDR: On Resolution: Native (100%) Display Mode: Windowed I usually only play 2-5 planet matches (that extra RAM helps a lot with the 5 planet ones) It has it's moments where it drops to a still-playable 20FPS during intense battles but other than that it's 30FPS+. Erm... weird Anyway I really need to stop paying attention to this thread and start posting somewhere else to gain my forum presence Edit: Shadows were not High, they were Medium
