The sexy beast
Hey guys, so i bought a mac a couple months ago (see specs in spoiler below) and was very annoyed that I could NOT run any vidya on it, not even small source games such as gmod or CSS.
I decided to dual boot to windows 7 and do a little bit of overclocking on the card which I believe is passively cooled (due to no fan appearing in all OC and benchmarks program), My objective was to get the highest OC i could achieve whilst keeping the card under 70C under heavy load.
I managed to achieve an OC of 650mhz / 957mhz with it just hitting 70C after 15minutes of 97% load.
I can now run CS:GO at medium-high settings @720p || low-medium@native res
Got a performance increase of 66%
