Can you play a game on MAC ?

hey guys this is MACPCGAMERZ usually the words MAC gaming don't go in the same sentence, but is it possible if you want a gaming computer a max shouldn't be your first choice but what I want to know with can you gain but all on a MacBook take a look at the specs of this 2015 13 inch MacBook proit's got a decent core i7 CPU but the integrated iris 6100 graphics aren't exactly made for hard for gaming last year I tried a few games on a mac pro with much better specs and it did reasonably well but how will the MacBook stack up the first problem is just finding games that work on OS 10 there are a few titles and origin and in the mac app store but your choices are pretty limited luckily steam is also available and here there's a pretty decent selection with quite a few games from my library that will work on Mac first we have

Borderlands the pre-sequel here is totally playable on low at 720p on the MacBook and just like on steam os the pre-sequel as a solid port that's basically identical to the windows version.

move over to tomb raider and it's not quite so nice it's almost playable at 720p but we're getting pretty significant framerate drops jump over to metro last light redux and things are a bit smoother but we're still dealing with the occasional choppiness during the more intense scenes things aren't off to a great start but has the MacBook handle less hard for games.

Minecraft is a staple of basically every gaming platform on the planet and the mac is no exception performance is just fine even at 1080pis only not the render distance back up in League of Legends is the same story this is a rock-solid version of the game for mac the runs no problem on max in ATP so MacBook and handle mainstream games fairly well but next I want to see what we could do running windows using BootCamp I loaded a preview copy of Windows 10 which opens a much bigger library of pc games trying to radar again it's clear that windows makes a big difference we're seeing much more playable frame rates even with the graphics pumped up to medium which got me curious how much of a difference is there.

I ran the built-in bench mark on medium at 720p and the windows performance was over double what it was on OS 10 averaging 43 frames per second compared to just shy of 20 running Yosemite for a laptop with integrated graphics this isn't half bad let's try a couple newer more demanding titles load of grand theft auto 5 and is totally playable on low at 720p well as long as you have a mouse anyway the only problem was a weird texture issue that made something semi-transparent this seems more like a GTA a problem than the macbooks fault .

shadow of Mordor is another great looking game and here we are able to get decent frame rates on low nothing to blow you away but it's entirely usable if you want to play more casual games a macbook is fine but for demanding titles it might not be a bad idea to install windows via bootcamp it will give you way more options and things should run a fair bit better the addition of metal to OS 10 out Capitan should improve game performance similar to directx 12 so it'll be interesting to revisit this next year so it's a macbook a good gaming pc no not even close but if you want to play the occasional game on a macbook it's totally possible.
