Nowhere near the demands of Crysis or even Doom 3. You do realize that game was released back in 2005, three years ago. In fact, in my original post, I said the baddest most demanding game I'd try on Fusion 2.0 is FEAR. I'm not saying Fusion 2.0 makes Boot Camp redundant, I'm just saying the level of gaming you can play on it has been greatly raised. The dual GeForce-wielding "it's more than a year old? GARBAGE!" people will, of course, use Boot Camp. Fusion 2.0 brought virtualization into a realistic gaming choice for those people. Some like gaming, but don't mind playing older games, and don't mind if the graphics had to be toned down. Not everybody takes gaming uber-seriously with dual GeForce's and running a $500 CPU. It's not like the old days of VirtualPC and the original releases of Parallels and Fusion anymore. For older less system-demanding games (and even the more demanding ones, at low settings) are playable. It has been VASTLY improved since they introduced DirectX9 support. Strider, you're just being an ass, and it's showing more and more as you post. But if you don't mind toning the graphics down, and want to game under virtualization, the time has come.Īnd if it can play FEAR at minimum settings perfectly fine, I bet it can play older games at medium or even high settings. If you want the maximum gaming experience your hardware has to offer, Boot Camp is the better option, obviously. Can you do that with Boot Camp? Yeah, didn't think so.
When I finish writing this, I will hit Expose, unpause the game and continue playing, with all of this in the background. I am posting this in Safari, and iChat, iCal, Gmail Notifier and Mail is running, along with VMWare Fusion, with the game paused. Second, because it's easier and cooler than booting into Boot Camp. Why in a virtual machine? First, because we can. Impressive for being in a virtual machine! Everything else plays at a steady ~30 fps. It stutters at loading points and when you enter new large rooms, but that's it. Granted you have to tone the settings down to minimum, for ~30 fps, or medium for ~20 fps. I found out VMWare Fusion has a evaluation, so I went ahead and downloaded it and installed XP + FEAR on it as an experiment.
