Using bootcamp ofc
2.9Ghz
1GB Vram
4GB Ram

Care to elaborate a bit closer about the specifics of those components? Clock frequencies tell about as much about CPU's as the RPM tells about engines (a bike engine for instance is not going to deliver the same kind of torque as a big turbo diesel engine at the same RPM).

i7-3250M
Intel HD Graphics 4000

Forget it, your GPU won't be anywhere near enough and the thing doesn't even have any VRAM on it, it just borrows a chunk from the system RAM.

okay thank you

If you buy a mac for gaming, you're gonna have a bad time.

I've played plenty of games on my macs over the years.

I will admit that I mostly used them for more productive things (writing papers, programming, surfing the web, email, etc.) but if you have mostly indie focused tastes a mac is just fine.

Atleast your smart about it. Most posts I see (Not necessarily this game) People complain they buy the game and there is no mac/linux support. *facepalm* If AAA devs supported Linux natively, I'd switch over in a heartbeat.

Been running an 3.2GHz/ 8GB i7 Mac Pro for the last 5 years or so (after years of constantly rebuilding my PCs to latest gen h/w) and not had any issues at all gaming on it tbh (have it set up for dual boot mind, so windows native for gaming).

If you're not fussed about being on the absolute bleeding edge of PC h/w and graphics there's nothing wrong with a decent Mac in dual boot configuration tbh (and the ability to boot to MacOS is handy for other apple kit integration)

Upgraded the graphics card on it a year ago to a GTX680 as well - should be OK on pCars ;)

Personally I haven't run Windows on any of my own machines outside of a VM since 2007 and even that has been for small things like running Atmel's AVR Studio so that I could test my code in a simulator before running it on the hardware. My desktop runs Linux and the laptop runs OSX.

Things are thankfully picking up with not only indie titles, but also AAA titles like Project CARS, Batman: Arkham Knight, Civilization: Beyond Earth, Dying Light and Borderlands: The Pre Sequel getting ports if not on launch, at least not too far from it.
