The test results may not be completely definitive, but I think they they bring up an interesting point: now that Apple is getting what it wants (large-scale adoption), how is it going to handle relations with third-parties in a rapidly moving industry such as gaming? As the article points out, the fastest Apple-sanctioned GPU you can buy is a GTX 285. At nearly a year and a half old, that card is ancient from that industry's perspective. OpenGL 3.0? NVIDIA released their 4.0 drivers for Windows / Linux a month ago. As much as we all may recognize that Microsoft has issues, their third party device / driver support is something that Apple could learn from.
- zweben 16y agoAs far as I can tell, Apple still doesn't care much about gaming on the Mac. I'm sure they could offer better graphics cards if they wanted to, it's just low on their list of priorities. Hopefully Steam will get enough people to start using Macs for gaming that Apple feels pressure to start offering decent video card choices.
