My System Specs

Default OSX is slower for gaming than Windows
Gizmodo just posted an interesting article today. Steam for Mac Benchmarks: Windows Is Much Faster - Steam - Gizmodo

Basically OSX is much slower at games like Portal or WOW than running Windows in Boot Camp. They also tested it with a Hackintosh and the same happened there.

Why is OSX so bad at gaming? Maybe its because DX is so much better than OpenGL.
