woweezowee Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 My Mac is also my work invornment, so I usually don't upgrade within hours of a new release. But I heard there might be improvements to graphics drivers in this one.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4561Who wants to test and report?

woweezowee Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 interesting find here:The good news is that OpenGL graphics performance has finally and substantially improved.http://www.macsonly.com/062411.htmlI go for it now. In any case there don't seem to be any serious issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clavel9 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Interesting, though I've noticed no measurable improvement in X-Plane performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoutvanZon Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Nothing changed as far as X-Plane is concerned. I would install it, or you won't ever get Lion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Updated to 10.6.8. Did some testing to see if there was any graphics improvement in X-plane. Got exactly the same frmae rate for my system. This doesn't mean that there wasn't improvement, it may mean that for me, the limiting factor was CPU performance. I suspect that most people won't see a change. ( I already get very high FPS with good settings on objects and visibility at 25nm)System specs: Mac Pro, 4 processors, INtel, 3Ghz speed, 4 Gbyte memory. Nvidia GEForce 8800 GT.
