you guys have newer hardware, I'm using on the oldest model of the 13" Aluminum MacBook before it became a MacBook Pro so sadly I won't have very good performance. I'll probably be getting a 15" MBP next year or something right now a ne MAcBook is not on my list of priorities.
My mums iMac (C2D 2.4Ghz 1GB ram :saddowns: ATi 2600XT) Seems to have a bit of a problem running tf2, I hope that when I buy my Mac Mini once the new ones come out have a decent graphics chip inside them.
from what I can tell (read some other Mac orient forums) that is seems like TF2 and the the Half-Life games are having hit and miss with performance but people who have the 10.6.4 (developers) say that it's fixed with driver updates.
TF2 runs at like 15fps no matter what the graphics settings are on my Hackintosh (which is a Q6600 with a 4870).
:(
After looking into this a bit, it turns out TF2 is being limited by the CPU.
It appears that Steam is chewing CPU in the background, meaning you get stuttery action in TF2.

Yeah, I get less than like 5 fps on my MacBook Pro.. Valve's really gotta look into this stuff...

for me it only stutters when textures are set to very high, if I put them down to just high it's fine. I've run it fine in Windows with very high settings before. They should really sort that out though.
Got TF2 and every other source game released on it running on my MBP smoothly at 30fps. It seems capped at it and the lowest I've got so far is 17fps and that's only in a massive fire fight on dustbowl but it's still smooth. I have my settings all on mid.
