Ok its time to begin collecting data (my copy crashed but i do have some results)

we will have two areas called tested and untested 

Basically tested will be when you hit the larger more populated maps, untested will be the results of crashes or just early game play. 

-tested-
MacBook Pro 6,2 antiglare
1680 x 1050
No Vertical Sync
High Textures
Antialiasing x 0

MacBook Pro 8,2
1440x900
No Vertical Sync
High Textures
0x Antialiasing

lets get some data to put here i will read and update this as the thread ages-

-untested-
<now empty>

PLEASE tell me DA2 is going to look better to me than DA:O. I've an under-utilized 5870 in my box, and DA:O still looks beautiful... 3 1/2 hours to go!

Well if the steam demo is anything to go on (considering i played it on boot camp) I'd say thats up to personal opinion.

comparing the two is almost like comparing wow and two worlds in my mind Where one went for detail the other clearly aims for simplicity

Neither are ugly and both are beautiful in their own rights.

While the difference isn't quite as jaring it is enough for me to comfortably say that the directx 9 version (aka the mac version) is much more cartoony than the comercial let on.

I still like the game (though why the bad guys dress as the village people is beyond me) and i'm the kind of guy who can appreciate core game play over visuals. That being said this game will not look like DAO its bringing its own style and while it may take some getting used to its not BAD its just different. and brighter.

 Infact I really need to clarify its not a HUGE leap. 

its Just different and in my eyes brighter and a bit more cartoony.

Think Cartoon network to Actual comic books not live action to disney channel

BioWare claims that DA2 will run better than DA:O on Mac. I'll probably stick to medium settings though on my Nvidia 9600M,

They just used Cider. It is not a native Mac app.

Like you, I ran the demo in DX9 mode (demo lacked DX11) with no problems on my boot camp partition.

I am hopeful of medium at 1080p or 900p using my Mac Pro's 5770 or MBP's 6750M.

Given my past experience with unplayable and unstable Cider ports, I'll set my hopes low.

Don't be such a pesimist cider now does windowed games and even handles the new eve incursion pretty well

Lets see some settings posted (daily bump)

I've got mine finished and I know you guys have to get some playing in soon. lets see em.

MacBook Pro 8,2
1440 x 900
No Vertical Sync
High Textures
No AA

Runs perfectly, no crashes in my 4+ hours playing it.

I didn't know any MacBook Pros had video cards that could handle DirectX 11... the 330M maxes@ DirectX 10.1- which I'm sure is still a bit better than 9 anyway.

The newly released MBP 15" and 17" have AMD Radeon HD 6490 or 6750 video cards, which are DirectX 11 cards.

I still haven't had a chance to play (stinkin job) but could people post whether or not they're boot camping it? or running through Cider? I don't want to compare my Cider based performance to someone who's bootcamping, and essentially running through Windows and thus getting the dx11 difference.

[Rimfrost]

I haven't had time to play either. I did install it on the Mac and I'm considering installing it on the Win7 partition but it just feel so painful so I might stick with the Mac. I also want Bioware's statistic show that there are enough Mac players :-)

KEEP POSTING LETS MAKE THIS INFORMATION BIBLICAL

[FRIEDCHIKKIN]

Recommended settings for my setup; ENABLE AND MAX EVERYTHING.

Yeah, smooth as buttah!

I haven't yet played further than the arrival to Kirkwall, but at 1080p, 4x AA and high textures it runs quite nicely on my iMac 11,1 (Late 2009, i5, 4GB RAM, Radeon HD 4850 512 MB). The experience is actually not that different from bootcamped with medium and dx9, maybe a bit slower.

[sebbr00]

Im running at
1440X900 on a MBP 2.53 i5 and a GT330M 256
High Textures
No AA
No vertical sync

Runs like the demo did on my win7 partition, with little slowdown in crowded places

[Llachlan]

Macbook Pro 8,2
i7 quad core, 2.2GHz
8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR 3
AMD Radeon HD 6750M, 1GB VRAM
Max res, full-screen.


Runs excellently on maxed settings - no choppiness or hangs.
Subject to the caveat that I often can't get it to launch - CIDER hangs, and I can't get DA:O or DA to run at all - it times out and stops responding.
