Depends a LOT on the res.
E.x. notebookcheck indicates that FEAR (released a yearish later) could get 20-30ish FPS at 640x480 but chokes at 1024x768 (at numbers matching the HL2 lost coast demo slideshow at 1024x768).
Gotta remember a lot of mac people were just happy to play something more modern than Marathon or Giants CK
- devixluvic 3mo agoThere were also MacBook Pro models with dedicated GPUs that were capable of running HL2 decently. The 2006 MacBook Pro 15-inch had a 32-bit only Yonah Core Duo and a Mobility Radeon X1600. I got my gaming start on one such machine - the Mobility Radeon was fine for HL2/Portal at 1024x768. Good memories.
- MrDOS 3mo agoOh, interesting – I'd missed that Apple had shipped any laptops with Core Solo/Core Duo processors, or any with dGPUs. Fascinating.
