Tips for an iMac PowerPC G5?

Postby Barcode » Tue Feb 06, 2007 1:03 am

Performance specs:
Single 1.9 GHz processor (bus speed: 633 MHz)
512 MB memory
ATI Radeon X600 Pro (128mb vram)
Preferred resolution: 1440*900, 32-bit
What should I do to maximize performance? Is there a list of general tips I could use, saving everyone time?
Please and thanks,

try lowering your screen rez. Also if you use nexuiz or nexuiz-sdl you may get better results with one or the other. Lastly, I'd suggest experementing with effects one day to see what you can work with. Turn "show FPS" on, and then play with the effects untill the minimum framerate you would get is 30.

And well, wait for new updates, so far each of them got a bit faster.. though some of those speedups were eaten away be eye candy updates as well :P

And a little suggestion... get 1GB of ram or more for your mac. Mac OSX will benefit from it a lot, you will see the difference.
