Your MBP isnt that great for gaming, fps drops in heavy areas are to be expected. Lower your settings is all you really can do. I have a 2014 mbp and the fps i get is barely aceptable...

...and then he said I'll buy a mac for gaming! HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Get a usb with 3gb make it bootable.

"buy" a copy of windows 7 put it on the usb
pop it in restart bam.0

never use mac or apple products : marketing lamerz...
if u wanna other thing instead windows use Linux like kubuntu... but ins don't work on it... so take windows (7 64 bits)

Yeah what bs... this has nothing to do with mac or pc. On the same machine i have both osx and win 7, both run equally crap.
Low fps is because its just a dual core 2.5ghz and a weak mobile gfx card, not really suited for gaming, nothing more or less...

i have already made everything low in the settings but really guys dont tell me that the i7 or the graphic card isnt good cuz it is really good but i really dont know why these drops are happening but i guess mb i should format it because i know there is alot of viruses on it

A 2.4 GHz CPU and 4 GB of 1333 RAM is far from "high specs".

[76561198074444474]

but i know too much people that have a less specs than me and there fps is just fine and my graphic card wich is the most important thing for the fps is more than good. for god sake i bought it for 2700 dollars and i cant play a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ csgo on it ?

[76561198151675867]

Your GPU was a mid range card 4 years ago when it came out. Now it's nothing to write home about. As for paying $2700 all I can say is rofl.

Apple products (especially laptops) are REALLY overpriced for the actual hardware that's inside them. They are not gaming machines and never will be. Just because it cost 3K does NOT mean it has a high spec.

I built my PC for around £1500 and I get 100-200fps in Insurgency with all graphics settings maxxed out at 1080p (FYI I game at 1080p because I use a 42" Sony Bravia as a monitor as I prefer a big screen over upping the resolution to say 1440p). This is because I chose the components to build it with, I would never pay Apple for one of their "high spec" machines because put simply, they are not high spec.

The reason other Mac applications are quick and smooth on Macs is because the software was designed specifically for them, it has been optimized to work with Apples hardware.

BTW, am not just slating Apple for the sake of it, I actually have an iPhone 6 myself. Just can't get my head around how they justify their prices when it comes to laptops??!!

The GPU in your "high spec" laptop is a HD6770M, the desktop version of that GPU can be bought on eBay for £20 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ASUS-AMD-Radeon-HD-6770-1024-MB-EAH6770-DC-G-2DI-1GD5-Graphics-Card-/291353735679?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item43d60931ff), that says it all really, a game like Insurgency will never run well on a £20 GPU.

TBH if you want to game then the only real option is to sell it, or see if anyone would swap it for a half decent desktop gaming PC.

Now this was a very quick search (and in the UK) but even something like this should be OK, and only £300 new!

If you were to spend a little time searching about I bet you could get an even better one for £300, especially if you don't mind a second hand one.

I bought my first gaming PC used and just ended up adding and swapping out parts as and when I needed to.

All you can do is update all your drivers, and making sure you're using the actual GPU card.
Changing to windows isn't going to do much FPS wise I think.

y ♥♥♥♥ me i could have bought a razer pc for 2700 dollars but i was mad at that time from viruses on my computer and shutting down alone while playing dota so i said lets go mac free viruses and the result is up on my ass now

[76561198074444474]
