Will this run US2 at an acceptable rate? (50fps+)

[JupiterDude]

The question is in the title. I'm really not sure if my mac is up to the task...

Specs:

2.4Ghz, Intel Core 2 Duo

memory: 2 GB MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Graphics card (because why not note it here): ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB

Mac: 20-inch, Mid 2007, OSX 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)



I do know that some of these specs don't matter (for instance the 20-inch) but I'm not the most experienced dude with computer hardware etc. I just like coding 

Thanks guys

I dunno, it's kind of old though.

Yea true...


I'm really eager to get this game as I've tested it using a crossover windows to mac program so I could run a .. "pirated" copy and test if it was a game for me. I got like 5 no matter what...

I decided that if my mac could run it fairly well, I'd definitely buy it.

Maybe some more specific numbers about the fps?

(Sorry if I'm a bit demanding <3)

We can't really give exact rates. Since the performance really varies depending on what the bottleneck is in a given simulation.

The closest report I have to your machine gives this as the performance. It's the same hardware as yours, but it's running OSX 10.9.5

Long story short, you'll only get 50+ fps in a simple simulation. Most sims will run at a much lower framerate. We're constantly working to improve the speed, however it's not likely we'll be able to get it to run too much faster on that hardware.
