Skyrim on MacBook Pro i7 with Retina

Product-Reviews writes: Apple just launched the Retina MacBook Pro to deliver the best display on a notebook in 2012, and one gamer decided to install Windows 7 on this machine over Boot Camp and started playing Skyrim.

Mass Effect 3 on the new Retina MacBook Pro would be cool.

This retina display isn't any wow. I don't see why everyone love this Retina thing

You won't really notice it via the video * face palm *... it's not like your computer/or that camera supports that resolution.... Watching and comparing it here is like watching an HD video on a SD monitor..

it's a pretty screen, nothing more really. It just doesn't have an effect on gaming, as the resolution used is way lower than the retina's resolution (here 1920x1220).

If retina is specified in the title it's just to differentiate the retina macbook with the "normal" macbook.

Not only that, but somehow it seems the engine isnt quite up to it, why all this pop ups, texture loading and general not so sharp textures ? That doesnt look that different from XBox.

[MediaStinger]

looks good

This video was pointless. Like no one has retina display. If you tape the screen of a macbook pro with retina and display it on regular screens then it truly does not show anything special. LOL

[grailly]

that's always the problem when you want to market screens. the 3ds struggled because you couldn't see 3d and the vita's colors couldn't be shown though your screen either.

The game wasnt even running at retina level resolutions, so i second the pointlessness of this video.

[ninjahunter]

Eh, your putting pixels on hardware that cant handle it. The game wasnt even running at half the screen resolution. If it had a bit more oomph behind it it would be cool, but At the moment Oled seems like a much cooler 'gimmick'.

You really have to see it in person to appreciate it.

I can't wait to get mine! I know that Diablo 3 is optimized to run with retina, I wonder how well it performs on max settings.

[danswayuk]

There is nothing like seeing the Retina display first hand, especially on the MacBook Pro.

[CaptCalvin]

Retina means nothing if the game doesn't run at native resolution.

[ATi_Elite]

Retina smetina! What a friggin gimmick!

The screen is high quality but so are other high end Gaming laptops with the same resolution and settings BUT are able to run Skyrim with the High Texture pak over 60 fps!

so this is just a bunch of Apple hooplah and a waste of money!
