13 macbook pro nvidia 320m WoW optimal graphic settings
Note: This video was made before the Cataclysm patch. The game have better water, textures and shadow now, and the results in this video may no longer be correct! Thank you! This is World of Warcraft with optimal graphic settings for the new Macbook pro 13 mid 2010 (nvidia 320m edition). I use the following settings: Native res. multisampling – 1x ( the difference between 1x and 2x is ~20fps) Everything at max except for: shadows – medium (looks the same as high, and u gain ~15 fps.) draw distance – medium (looks the same as high, and u gain ~3 fps.) Enviromental detail – medium (looks the same as high, and u gain ~2 fps.) Texture filtering – medium (looks the same as high, and u gain ~5 fps.) I get around 10fps more when I’m not using the recording program! In the last part of the video you will learn how to cap the fps. you need to write the following in the chat menu ingame: /console maxfps X, X being the fps number you wish to cap it at. I use 40. This will allow the computer to save power thus reducing heat, fan speed, and get you a battery boost! It is thanks to KadMac25 that I bought this laptop. In his video he wanted to show how the max settings in WoW would run on this laptop. And I want to show what the optimal graphic settings are. Thanks KadMac!! I get around 4h of playing WoW nonstop when I cap my fps to 30 with the settings above. The computer case is cool all the time(cpu around 68C) and the fan noice is very quite (running around 2500 – 3000rpm). Hope …

No I believe that snow leopard will actually help your laptop to get better performance so thats not the reason why your laptop runs WoW so poorly.
I really would like to help you, but it’s quite hard when I don’t have access to you laptop. Good luck m8
If you have the latest snow leopard and all the drivers updated you should be fine.
If you still have problem with running WoW I can guarantee you that somethings wrong with your macbook.
The only purpose of this video is to educate people in how their settings should be for maximum performance and graphic quality.
Send me a note if you want me to help you more!
Cheers

But since the shattering took place in late november, that patch made changes to the graphic in the game aswell.
Everything from water to shadows and textures have better quality now.
What you need to do is to set water and shadow to low and that should do the trick. I don’t own the macbook pro anymore cause I bought myself an Imac 27 so I can’t be sure that those changes in the setting will suffice, but give it a try atleast, and good luck
@dannybighair
hehe funny that people say that.
Well I thought that every macbook pro 13 with nvidia 320m would have the exact performance.
Every single shot in this video is taken while playing WoW on my macbook pro13 in june 2010.
the 320m is actually not that bad, it has a good balance between low power consumtion and performance.
Mind you, WoW is a 6year old game so it should’t be a problem to get great fps ingame.
@dannybighair yeah >.> hmmm hopefully the guy who made this vid will respond. My imac downstairs runs at 60 fps but it does not have snow lep. , could snow lep. be the reason my laptop runs so slowly on low settings with a wiped HD?
@soryn305
Yeah I don’t really know how his fps is so high. Tbh the 320m is a pretty shoddy graphics card. There’s something fishy going on here…
@AngelinoCalavera dude i have the same laptop and i did a full Hard drive wipe and i have like 7 fps. I have about 30 latency as well. Can you help me out oh and btw all my settings are as low as possible.
@dannybighair how in the hell does he have such high fps with the SAME laptop o.o i just did a full wipe of my hard drive (the people at the apple store did it so i would not fuck up) and i STILL have shit fps. Will updating the drivers really do that much?
@soryn305
Lower the settings and get the current drivers for your graphics card. That’s all you can do.
I run on a ACER Laptop, 2.00G memory, i Got it about 2 years ago. Well, I can only run Low/fair grpahics, Anyone know how to make it where i can go higher?? Instead of buying a new PC?
holy crap… this little laptop is a beast
I have this laptop and im getting 7 fps. Can anybody help me?
you can increase the settings further like the farclip and groundeffectdensity etc by using console commands.
@futbolgamer I’ts the same FPS as before.
Yes I would really recommend this laptop. However, if you have the extra cash or must have a bigger screen, the cheapest 15inch macbook pro is a great choice aswell, but it will not be as portable as the 13inch.
@mickey915 You should NOT be running Rosetta in order to run WoW.
do you still get this fps currently or has it lowered and would you suggest getting this macbok for WOW?
WoW is great on my 13 MBP…getting up to 120FPS in Org and 30-50 fps in dalaran! hehe
@mickey915 yes I’ve installed it directly to OSX. World of warcraft supports both OSX and Windows computers
hmmm so you used bootcamp or something? you dint install this on OSX?
@roflbiscuit Np =)
@mickey915 I have never used rosetta
Very impressive! One of my woes for getting one of the cheaper Macbook Pros was performance, but now I see that that apparently isn’t the case. Thank you!!
did you have to download rosetta when you installed it on your macbook pro 13? i installed it on mine to install WoW…will rosetta slow down or make your fps lower ?
Lol your a dranei.
@AngelinoCalavera for sure.
