This post isn’t funny, but it is informative! So I bought Civilization V for the mac, and it suffers from a lot of performance issues: choking on even the lowest graphic settings. But with Steam, when you buy a game for one platform, you get it for all platforms, so I tried an experiment. I downloaded Civilization for Windows using Boot Camp.
The same computer. Different operating systems. Was there a difference?
THE WINDOWS VERSION WORKED INSANELY BETTER. No graphics stuttering, no waiting for renders… I’d say it ran 30 frames per second versus 10 frames per second on the mac (sometimes 5 frames per second). The difference is undeniable. From now on, I’m buying PC games and running them in Boot Camp.
Since it’s the same hardware, does anyone out there know why it runs so much better in Windows?
