Requirements for black ops 3

Hello I own a macbook pro late 2013 4GB ram, 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5 with a 90GB SSD and I would like to play black ops 3 through bootcamp but the game is very laggy, I also tried to play Tom clancy's rainbow six siege but it's not playable at all, too much lags


If I add like 4gb ram more do you think that the recent games will be running fine with no lags ? Does the processor matter on game performances/speed ? thank you guys and merry christmas

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

You've not given all the info on your computer, like what graphic system it is running. To help us help you, please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and tell what the resulting screen shows for your model. See this:

What is shown on your computer in the section I outlined in red?


If you look at this page:

you will find this:

  • Operating System: Windows 7 64-Bit / Windows 8 64-Bit / Windows 8.1 64-Bit
  • Processor: Intel® Core™ i3-530 @ 2.93 GHz / AMD Phenom™ II X4 810 @ 2.60 GHz
  • Memory: 6 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 470 @ 1GB / ATI® Radeon™ HD 6970 @ 1GB
  • DirectX: Version 11
  • Network: Broadband Internet connection
  • Sound Card: DirectX Compatible


If you have a 13-inch MBP then you have integrated graphics hardware; that sounds unsupported from the above.

Thanks. As it appears yours is non-retina, you can add RAM. Best to keep the modules matched for performance, so add two 4GB sticks for 8GB.


However, I believe that the game requires discrete graphics, not the integrated gfx you have. Although it is a different format, the App Store listing listing for Black Ops has this to say:

Note the specific mention of your model (and mine) being unsupported. If the Win BO-3 is newer than the Mac version on the App Store, I believe you will need a more powerful computer.
