Awesome thing of the whenever: The home for gaming on Mac machines! Here you'll find resources, information, and a great community of gamers. Please make use of the search button before asking questions, many have been answered already and it'll save you time! Is a good way to check if your machine will run a certain game. Some Standard Rules: • If you are asking for advice on games or your system, POST THE SPECS OF YOUR SYSTEM It is very rude and a waste of time to expect us to look up your equipment just to give you advice.

We're happy to help, but you gotta do some work too. How to backup with my passport. • Posting links to pirated games is not okay. • Talking about piracy is okay. • Read the FAQ, and refer people to the FAQ if applicable. • Self-promotion is limited to once-daily.

Civilization V is a Turn Based Strategy game, not Real-Time Strategy. RTS would be more like Starcraft. As for your question, what model of 2011 MBP do you have?

Firewatch claims to have really high GPU requirements (they say it doesn't work on a Mac Mini, for example), but that's just to get the super extremely nose-bleedy high def. Bizhub 363 driver for mac free. Since the game is very stylized and cartoon-art-ish (not a criticism, it's awesome), you don't really need the super-high-defness.

There's a significant difference between the 13' and 15' models (looks like 13' just used integrated graphics, 15' had a dedicated card). Anyway, I'd suggest checking out some of the Total War games if you like RTS/TBS games, although be warned that the newer games will likely lag a lot.

It looks like Total War: Shogun 2 should work fine on your machine, but Rome II might not. For other strategy games, you could try some of the Paradox Interactive grand strategy games such as Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings II. These should work, although they might lag in the late game (although this happens to just about everyone regardless of computer). If you'd like a city builder, you could try out Cities: Skylines if you have the 15' model. Looks like the Early-2011 MBP model with dedicated graphics can handle that fairly well, although the integrated graphics version can be very laggy. I was mostly basing the Cities suggestion based on, although it appears they had the high-end early-2011 MBP with the 1 GB VRAM graphics card.

Sounds like anything less than that struggles, and I wouldn't be surprised if it bogs down at higher populations. That said, it looks like there are a number of mods out there that might improve performance some. Oh, another suggestion for OP that might work: Kerbal Space Program. I'm not sure how well it would run on your particular machine, but I was able to play it fairly well (or at least an older version of it) on a 2009 Mac Mini. I also tried it on a 2006 MacBook (the Core Duo one), but I was getting single-digit frame rates. You SHOULD be able to get better results than that with a 2011 MBP, but be warned that things might slow down with very large spacecraft. I have an MBP from the same time period (the 15' with some upgrades).
