![]() ![]() I'll try to post some screenshots tonight. If it isn't drawing an entire portion of the screen, it seems logical that it might also be failing to render an effects pass or two. ![]() After all, it is responsible for the right quarter of the map/screen being gray. Perhaps the 10.6.5 update is responsible for some effects not being rendered at all. I'm seriously hoping that the next patch will improve the graphics. Perhaps this is a result of a missing effect as well. On the Mac the circle seems flat and blends into the background. It probably does, but being nearly invisible, I never noticed. Wow, I just noticed when watching a youtube video that this circle should have a dot revolving around it. On Windows PCs, it seems that this selection circle is more obvious, almost glowing with light. But rather a factor of the lower graphics quality. My theory is that this isn't a bug per se. Sometimes I have to click the "unit needs orders" button a few times before finally figuring out where that unit is on this 27 inch screen. However, this circle is almost invisible! Or at least it is almost invisible with the graphics being produced on my iMac. The selected unit is supposed to be highlighted with a yellow circle. Explaining the exact difference in quality is difficult, but it is an immediately obvious phenomenon.ĭoes this sound correct? Is the 4850 the limiting factor?Īlso, is it possible to hack MSAA (anti-aliasing) to work on this card? Is anyone getting anti-aliasing with the Mac version of Civ5? After a bit more reading on these forums, I discovered that this graphics card is not capable of directx 11. My iMac is running the latest OS (10.6.5), has 8gigs of ram, a 2.8Ghz i7 and a 512MB radeon hd 4850. All of the video options are set to high but anti-aliasing is off because it is grayed out and not enable-able. While the graphics are nice, they aren't as "wow" as I remembered. Last night I fired up the Mac version on my 27" iMac for the first time. While awaiting the Mac release I had the opportunity to watch some 1080p youtube videos and also see Civ5 running at a friend's house on a full-blown gaming PC. I'm interested in hearing more about the graphics quality people are seeing in Civilization 5 for the Macintosh.
