Gaming Benchmarks at 2880x1800 for rMBP

If anyone has purchased a new MBP, please let us know what kind of frame rate you are getting at 2880x1800, especially running Windows games on bootcamp, and the graphics settings you are using for the game.

There was a recent Anandtech article with some benchmarks, but he only mentioned running two games at 2880x1800, Half Life 2 (42 fps) and Diablo 3 (18 fps on High).

I'm considering picking one up primarily because of the display, but if I can't run any recent games at 2880x1800 with playable frame rate (at least with lower settings), then I'd rather go with something like a dv6t or Envy 15.

freaking amazing gpu wise! cpu running at 104C!!!!! hahahahahah fail, forget about the cpu i guess, opt for the 3612qm.

 

you won't be able to run recent AAA game titles in 2880x1800 and playable frame rates on the GT 650m. you'll have to get something else.

 

Or figure out how to get thunderbolt to work with external GPU on macbook i guess.

 

Thanks!

I've noticed Anandtech reported 18fps on high for D3, and asdad123 reports 23fps on "Gamer" settings for Crysis 2 at this res. Perhaps with AA disabled or shadow quality reduced, etc, it might be playable?

I'm just looking for at least 25-30 fps @1800p for games like Skyrim, ME3, Arma2, DXHR, Dishonored, perhaps with lower draw distance, shadow quality, etc., MSAA disabled and using FXAA instead.

 

Well then you'll need a high-end desktop GPU for that.

Do you understand how incredibly high 2880x1800 is? Desktop gamers are just getting comfortable at 2560x1600, with GPUs 4 or 5 times as powerful as the GT 650M.

The 650M is simply a sad joke at 1800p. It's a card built for medium/high settings at 1920x1080.

2880x1800 = 5,184,000
1920x1080 = 2,073,600

Do the math.

 

Its just too many pixels. The cool thing about the rmbp is that lower 3D resolutions should still look good on the screen

 

Find a mobile GPU that ISN'T a freaking joke on 1800p.. seriously too early for Retina, but hell with it, someone's gotta do it

 

That's what I'd like to see, how non native resolutions look. You should be able to play 1440x900 since it's half resolution, and the pixel density is so high.

 

had to be Apple. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.

 

I can actually play 5 games at full res stock GPU clocks and I am trying more they look absolutely beautiful

Batman Arkham Asylum 51 fps overall

TRU 47fps overall

TRA 80fps overall

Street Fighter Vs tekken is locked at 60 all the time

Blades of time 35fps overall

 

TRU? TRA?

I'm more interested in affordable IPS, at least right now.

 

What is TRU and TRA? Which settings were you using for Arkham City? Did you disable AA?
