Video Card Preformance Issues
Hey there, this is my first post here... just bought my first Mac a few days ago (duo 2.0, 2gb ram, 256 vid-ram) and I love it! My only problem is when I'm trying to play games (specifically WoW) with the settings more or less maxed out. The game looks beautiful, but I'm getting some lag and screen tearing as soon as I start moving or looking around. Should this be happening? Also, for some reason, my frame rate is only about 13-20fps. My friend (PC user, of course) says I need to tweek my video card settings, but I can't find out how to do that! The only display options I'm given are number of colors, and refresh rate, which shows up as "N/A".
So I guess I have two questions:
Is there anything I can do to tweek my video card settings on my iMac for better preformance?
Or am I just expecting too much out of my system?
I know Mac's aren't built for gaming, but... I'd be nice if my brand new expensive top of the line iMac could at least make WoW run better than my old antiquated PC.
Thanks a lot!
