My system is running OSX 10.6.6.(dual boot.2nd HDD is for Windows 7)
To install OSX I used Iboot+Multibeast and own DSDT.Nothing else.

System is running great.Feels fast (except mouse, still can't get it run smoothly) and everything works as it should.

Last weekend I manage to get me a original copy of Call of Duty 2 MAC version (this is a game I still play on my Windows system with a couple of friends)

After stating the game, I notice that the game runs on a lower frame rate then on my Windows. OSX 90 FPS, Windows 170 FPS.

Graphics I use is: Gigabyte HD5870.

My question is: Is there a way to improve the framerates on my OSX or is this something I need to live with??
Game is configurated on his max , same as when I use Windows 7.
Monitor resolution: 1920x1080

Other system specs are:

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4
Intel E8400
4GB DDR2
250gb SATA HDD (OSX)
250gb SATA HDD (win7)
DVD-RW SATA
 
What sort of frame rate are you looking at on Mac OS X? Much lower say 10-20fps or just a little lower such as 60+?
 
You know that 90FPS is well over a non-3D monitors maximum refresh rate. Your monitor just can't display more than 60FPS with 60HZ. Unless you have a 120HZ monitor, the difference shouldn't be felt. I understand your complaint, but seriously, you don't install OSX to play games, you do that in Windows.
