The Dark Knight Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'd really to like to get VRC Pro but at the moment I only have a Mac Book Pro so I would have to get something called "boot camp" if I want to run it? Will I be ok playing VRC Pro on my Mac Book Pro or will I be better off getting a gaming PC? If the latter, are there any computer guys on here? My knowledge is pretty limited when it comes to gaming PC's. All I want the gaming PC for it to play VRC Pro if my Mac Book Pro isn't suitable. I'm not sure how much or how little I need to spend. Any advice appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Im not sure what sort of specs mac books have in terms of use in games as mac books are seldom used for it. so if you are pretty adamant in playing VRC pro id look at picking up a laptop or PC, dont need amazing specs to play it but id budget around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) If I bought a laptop or PC it would be purely to play VRC Pro on as I already have a Xbox & Playstation. If only VRC Pro was available of those consoles! The only gaming laptops I've heard of, thanks to the Big Bang Theory is Alienware.

PurcyP Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I played it on my laptop which is a pavillion G series, not very good for gaming at all however was fine on the right settings, however the nitro buggies it struggled with and thats a cheap laptop just to give a couple of examples, VRC pro isnt the most intensive game out there but just choosing 2 random "gaming" builds both of these will not have an issue playing the game at all, the desktop would be more ideal if you wanted to play other games as well http://www.novatech.co.uk/laptop/range/novatechnspiren1592.html http://www.novatech.co.uk/pc/range/novatechblacknti112.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks for links Purcy, I'll do some more research too. I think a gaming desktop is the way I want to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 cool if you have any friends that can build pcs id go that route as you can get similar spec cheaper or higher cheap for similar money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex97 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Why not just build one your self? There are lots of videos on how to do to on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReggieC Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 A Mac running bootcamp runs any piece of software as well as a windows pc with similar spec, if not slightly better due to higher quality components Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayAVFC Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Cool, so my Mac Book Pro should be ok if I get boot camp. Yes it will be you may just need to tweak the settings to suit your mac, mine are lowered a little bit to insure a steady frame rate but still looks great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayAVFC Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Cool, what buggy did you go for? Only a second hand schumacher sv2 to get me started, if i enjoy it i might get one of the newer ones like the KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 The SV2 is a great buggy The KF is also very good but unless Schumacher release it with the low grip chassis, I'd look at the Team Associated B5M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
