Yo! Dan here,

and put yourself in my situation:
'Yeeeaaah! New Mac! Right now let's log on to Zarp

Macs are mostly used for work. I can't help you with this. You have gone to the dark side of pc gaming.	Studio Banter Offline Marvelous Boarder ❤️ Posts: 14009 Thanks received: 5849 Karma: -60

Is there anything I can do, I mean Zarp is all I ever play really and it would make me facepalm for 3 years if I couldn't.	TheOddChicken Offline Fresh Boarder When I'm not playing TTT, I'm dreaming of it. Posts: 31 Karma: -2

AA is very poorly optimized in Gmod, suggest turning that off or to low, other than that you can run the it with basically any PC. With a i7 2.93 and 4 gbs of ram should be enough but really the gpu makes the difference and i dont know how macs have they're architecture, dont know if it comes with a separate gpu or integrated in the CPU ( Which are bad)	Zer0nix Offline Senior Boarder Nothing good lasts forever.

Sorry, I have no clue what that means, all I got was turn off AA.
What is AA and how to I turn it off?

This is AA
TL;DR AA stands for Anti Aliasing which means (in games) that you get a smoother edge on everything in the game, so you no longer see these weird pixels and staircase effect on a weapon , plant, everything. This has a huge impact for most of the games but there are many types of AA like FXAA, SMAA,TXAA, these are the main ones ( in the order of power required)It is recommended that for lower end pcs you disable this or put it to low.

That's okay, for a lower end card, GDDR5 , 128 bits , 1gb memory and it even supports directx11 looks fine to me.
