with recent release of steam mac, , countdown release of starcraft 2, i've been thinking blizzard , valve should (or current are) actively pursuing apple make os x more compliant opengl, , @ same time increase effieciency of graphics card drivers. both of these companies having potential market mac gaming grow every day, , need clients run smooth on mac on pc. followed dev builds of 10.6.3 closely, , remember seeing builds add in compliance opengl 3(?), question i'm asking is: think blizzard , valve actively working apple increase performance games? , if so, apple pushing them away, or gladly accepting money/programmers/knowledge? see more results in 10.6.4, or big part of 10.7?
yes think so. blizzard must have close working relationship apple. take @ recent performance benefits rewrite opengl backend, including improving shadows in world of warcraft. remember when running bootcamp play wow resulted in better performance. today 2 identical.
starcraft 2, hope continue improve performance. beta overheats macbook pro unless keep fans running @ 6000 rpm. i'm more of blizzard fan downloaded steam recently. portal runs pretty again think have way go.
i'm impressed level of support coming bring quality gaming mac platform. know provide updated drivers 10.6.4. can hope apple has big plans 10.7 , more importantly gaming performance.
