Sapphire HD7950 MAC Edition Review

The StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm expansion includes additional units and multiplayer changes from Wings of Liberty, as well as a continuing campaign focusing on the Zerg race, following Sarah Kerrigan in her effort to regain control of the swarm and enact her revenge on the Terran dominion's supreme commander, Arcturus Mengsk. It spans 20 missions (plus several zerg unit evolution missions) and is priced as an expansion set. Heart of the Swarm was released on March 12, 2013.

Both Windows and Macintosh versions of Starcraft 2 have a built in FPS meter, accessed by pressing Control+Alt+F.

We configured the game to use a series of very high image quality settings as shown in the image above at the native resolution of the 30 inch screen @ 2560×1600.

Blizzard really did an excellent job of coding StarCraft II. It runs great on OSX, even at 2560×1600. The game runs much smoother on the Sapphire HD7950 MAC Edition, especially on later levels when there are often 100 units on screen.
