@matrud -

I saw your other post - you have an iMac? make sure MSAA is disabled - there is a noticeable bottleneck in MSAA in 10.6.4 and earlier on ATI chipset.

We're working on some other optimizations (note the gl_bufmode thread at top of forum too) - but I would check that one first.

Same damn thing for my Macbook Pro.
I get over 150 FPS with Bootcamp but in Mac Os X, I can't get higher than 60 FPS. I reduced all video settings but it didn't help out. What should I try to get 100~ FPS? The game I'm talking about is CS:S. I'll be following this topic to get any help, and especially I'll be waiting for rbarris 's response to that issue.

Macbook Pro 2.8
NVIDIA GForce 9600M GT
4 GB RAM
