Hey guys

who's going to play Diablo 3 on a Mac? Which Model are you using and what are your experiences so far?

I will play it on my Macbook Air, 13" 1,5 Ghz, 4GB Ram...should work, though!

Enjoy and see you soon!

single core?

Sorry, I totally failed up there!

I have a 1,7 GHz Intel Core i5, which is a Dual Processor.
Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

I saw some guys playing it and recording...but the FPS wasn't that good..
Still I am sure Blizzard has in mind to attract also the Mac players!

I played the beta on middle graphics on my 4gb dual core macbook pro. Only real problem may be the graphics card, but as I understand it, it's a virtual graphics card that will take the rams off of your normal ram. But i'm not 100% sure I completely get that... Either way, the beta works just fine on my pro.

OS: Mac® OS X 10.6.8, 10.7.X (Last update)
Processor: Intel® Core 2 Duo
Video: NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M GT or ATI Radeon™ HD 2600 or better

Think you could run it, but with low graphic details.
I'm not a mac user but i highly recommand you to use something to use as "ventilo" ...
One of my friend playing some game with us with his mac (2,4 c2d + integrated GC and 4 go ram i guess)
get sounds problems and shutdown problems while playing.
Seems like the heat produced by components is too hot for it.

quad 2.4-2.6 i guess ?
Should be enough
But card graphic should be a bit low :/
Wasn't 9400 the renamed version of 8500 gt ?

Think you'll play with low graphics details.
That's too bad cause with a quad core it would have been at least at medium quality settings with a 240+ nvidia i think.

But it'll run (unless graphic card is not supported by the game).

What is your affixe (or suffixe ? -.-") on card name ? 9400 gt, 9400 gs...

In fact 7800 gt were powerfull cards, They got above same perf than 8600 gt.

9600 - 9800 series were purely remix of 8800's series (note that 9800 GTX was better)

So i was just trying to enlight you about the fact your card is not that powerfull.
I'll work, but don't expect nice graphics from it (In fact i did tryed low details and it's not ugly, that's still confortable to play).

Edit is the "M" after the 8600 - GT a fail write or noes ?
Cause then my post is pointless if the M is real.
"M" are used by laptop, so performances are nerfed, and then your card should have a bit better render than i use to think smile
