Greetings,

I ran accross this link http://www.cafemacs.com/#t560 on http://www.digg.com/gaming today and wondered if any developers/beta testers can confirm any possible improvements to the speed of graphics?

I primarly use my machine for image/video processing and playing World of Warcraft. As currently WoW does not perform as well as it does on the PC I was hopeful Tiger will help

I'm currently running an original Dual G5 2.0Ghz with 1.5GB of ram and a GF6800 GT.

I'm running Tiger A393 and I think WoW runs the same or just barely better. There are some hiccups though for some reasons (beta maybe? )

PowerBook 17" 1 Ghz, GeForce 4MX

Well if you were playing it on a PowerBook 17" 1 Ghz, GeForce 4MX I can see why I was told by Blizzard employee that WoW is as much dependant on the CPU as it is the GPU. Also I think I read somewhere else the video improvements in Tiger were more for modern video cards. Hopefully my $500 GF6800 GT see's bigger boosts
