Mac Steam prompts OSX graphics update

[Illusio]

Looks like apple released a patch to make their graphics run better. Hope this helps Starcraft 2 run a little better on my MBP.

Here are some before and after benchmarks but, unfortunately, SC2 is not among them.

This btw didn't break my Hackintosh 😀

This update apparently gives a large performance boost for Valve's Source-engine games (i.e. Team Fortress 2). The Tech Report reports that they saw up to 38% performance boost with this update.

You know, maybe it's just my Hackintosh, but TF2 still plays terribly after this update. On a GTX 275, frame rates never go above 45 at minimum settings 1920*1200, and mouse lag is probably a full 0.5-1s no matter what. StarCraft II actually runs better, hitting steady 40-60fps (I think) at min settings, native res. Is this just because my card isn't technically supported?
