Overwatch For Mac Release
Blizzard has a long history of bringing its games to Mac platforms in addition to Windows PC, but it appears that's not the case for the company's new shooter, Overwatch. Cara enable flash player chrome. At BlizzCon today.
07:14 PMPosted by With deep regrets, Macs are currently a bit behind in regards to their graphics capability. The Macbook's and Macbook Air's, sure.
13' Macbook Pro should do fine in theory, and 15' is guaranteed to work. Anything above that (ie. Mac Pro and newer iMac models) should easily manage the game. Overwatch is a pretty game, but it's hardly graphically intensive. Well, not quite. I'm dual booting Windows on my super high end 2013 Macbook Pro with the GeForce GT 650M card.
At 1080p to achieve 60fps I need to set 50% rendering and almost all settings to low. Macs are definitely gonna run OW better than most cheaper laptops, but for the same price you can get gaming laptops and pretty much all desktops will run OW better than iMacs.
Anyway - dual boot! 04:37 AMPosted by The hilarity of the down-votes on the comments that simply mention any sort of gaming on a Mac; it's juvenile. Here's a use case for ya, and it could blow your minds, because it's pretty common for us grown ups. My main PC is a custom water-cooled Z87 Sabertooth build with a 4770K, 32GB of Dominator, and a 980TI; I own a Razer Blade, Shield, and Steam Link. I've been building PC's for 16 years, and was a member of XS and several 3D Mark Teams in my heyday. Let's just get that out of the way, for the naysayers who'll try and discredit a valid opinion because #notpartofthePCMASTERACE. Or whatever the hell else the kids are calling it now.
The reason I was able to afford a badass PC (and order a pair of 1080's on launch), is because I get paid to write code all day on a Mac -- a UNIX-based Mac that runs a suite of applications I could never get on Windows 10, in a workflow that I would never dare replicate on my PC. And before one of you Windows coding junkies gets your panties in a wad, just remember all the ways in which you travel around your elbow to emulate a LAMP environment on your PC and give it a rest. The reality is, I work on Macs, and I game on a PC, and I run admin tasks, deployments/repository management, and server maintenance on Linux. Word for mac 2016 crashes when saving. I do it all, and I'm old enough, and experienced enough not to whine like a stuck pig (and downvote posts like a sobbing toddler) when someone isn't arbitrarily loyal to my platform of choice. Every once in a while I'm up late, monitoring a particularly long build and release as we deploy and test for bugs, and I don't have the luxury of firing up my gaming PC to get in a few matches of Overwatch.
