Is the 802.11 ac good for gaming?

we have 3 xboxes in my house and I was wondering if this device would be good for gaming?

If you are trying to run 3 xboxes at once to online games you will find it well neigh impossible without a router that is fully Microsoft Vista UPNP spec and above.. due to the nature of NAT routers each xbox will need the same ports opened .. this is not possible.. only using upnp can xbox negotiate a different port.. and apple did not include upnp in the apple router.. so I think you are going to run into big problems.. you cannot simply use port mapping..
I would strongly recommend a router on the xbox compatible list.
here is the comment about apple routers for mulitple xbox connection.

We have confirmed that this network device is unable to support more than one console with an Open NAT.

  • Is the New Macbook good for gaming?

    I am about to buy a new MacBook Pro. I was planning on getting the MacBook Pro without retina with the i7, 1tb HDD and 8gb of ram. I am wondering if this will work for gaming. I am going to bootcamp with Windows 7 as soon as I get it. Is this a good idea or will I have problems with graphics or any other issues?

    Okay, so here's my opinion on this as I have the MacBook you're planning to purchase. I have the 13 inch which means without the graphics card.
    It's a decent gaming machine. It's okay for gaming here and then.
    As OGELTHORPE mentioned, Mac's aren't meant for gaming. The machine will just get really hot, and won't give you the best performance.
    Now as for me, I came from a 2008 sony vaio. The increase in performance was amazing, but for me.
    So, go with a macbook air, and then build your own desktop. It's going to be much more beneficial. Although seeing your budget though, you won't be able to build a super powerful gaming PC, rather a standard, with simple graphics card gaming machine.
    However, it's better than buying a MacBook Pro and gaming on it in my opinion.

  • Is the ipad 2 good for gaming?

    Right now I have a nexus 7 2013 which I'm about to sell would I be downgrading if I were to go to a iPad 2? I heard that all games in the apple store run on all iOS devices I thought this was sweet cuz there are like very few games the work on android is the iPad 2 still worth getting and are there any issues with it?

    So the iPad 2 *****?

  • Is the MacBook Pro with retina display good for gaming?

    I was looking at the MacBooks and I was thinking about the one with retina display.  I wanted to know if it was good for gaming also. Just something like skyrim or maybe WOW.

    If you're not a heavy gamer, then yes it will be great.
    I play WoW at full retina display with the performance I noted above - if you have trouble, you could always revert to 1440x900 just for WoW and Skyrim.
    I know WoW lets you choose a resolution within the game so nothing wo worry about outside - not sure about Skyrim but maybe so?
    I am a light gamer. I used to have a 2011 MBA, just an off the shelf model with no upgrades, and it played WoW very well for its size etc.
    An iMac would be great too. For the price of a rMBP you could go for an iMac for games/home use and a base spec MBA for working on outside...?
    However iMacs are pretty outdated atm - not allowed to say much on here but might wanna wait for something to happen...

  • Just purchased the new Macbook Pro 13-inch: 2.3 GHz, Is it good for gaming?

    Right, so I just purchased the new Mac Book Pro 13-inch: 2.3 GHz, Is it any good for gaming, On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best) how good?
    Can I run games like The Sims 3 flawlessly? Will I have problems with lagging and speed .etc?

    Sims 3 will run on medium setting with approximately 33 fps (which is ok).
    Most other games will run on low settings, some on medium. Its definitely not a gaming laptop but it can handle some games.

  • Im looking for a MacBook that is worth the money and decent for gaming and editing, any suggestions?

    Im looking for a MacBook that is worth the money and decent for gaming and editing, any suggestions?
    There all so AWESOME!

    Then you are best to get a Macbook Pro. Your real aim should be the graphics card.
    You won't be doing really good gaming on a discrete graphics card sharing RAM.
    Depending of coarse what games you play.
    eg. card games / COD games.

  • 15" Macbook Pro i7 4GB Ram good for gaming?

    Hi, I'd like to know if the 15" MBP i7 4GB Ram good for gaming? I'm not gonna be an intense gamer I would just like to play games during my down time. All I will be playing is like 1 MMORPG and maybe 1 or 2 FPS games. I will not be doing this all at once. I will be using bootcamp. I have some friends tell me that they wouldn't play games on the MBP because it could ruin it? Is this true? They tell me that it's not wise to play games on this laptop.

    It would depend on the games and how demanding they are, but generally laptops make for horrible gaming platforms in general. Apple laptops in particular tend to be among the thinnest of the bunch. A MBP can be thinner than plenty of netbooks out there while packing considerably more punch. That doesn't leave a lot of room for any excess heat that may be generated while gaming.
    If we're talking older games, that probably aren't all that demanding, then maybe. If we're talking newer games that are pushing the limits of the laptop's specs, I'd recommend against it.

  • Which notebook model is good for gaming?

    Hello!
    Prompt me please what better to take notebook for games from your firm?
    In advance thanks!

    Hi Dmitriy
    Well, it's not easy to say which notebook is good for gaming.
    A friend of mine has bought a Qosmio notebook and was satisfied with the performance. Also the newer Satellite notebooks are pretty performance strong.
    In my opinion if you want to play only the games and the portable factor is not very important for your so I would recommend to use the desktop PC.
    The desktop PC is easier for device and part upgrading. You can change the CPU and the graphic card. The notebook upgrading is not very easy and some parts like graphic card or CPU cannot be changed.
    Also the graphic card drivers are very important for the gaming. Notebooks manufacturers use not original graphic card manufacturer's drivers. They design own graphic drivers because of the graphic card overheating protection. Sometimes such drivers are a little bit older then newer original graphic card drivers and not compatible with the newer games.
    It's your choice.

  • Whats the check box good for?

    Greetings!
    I'm on a Monday roll. I got bit by a context menu so far so now lets try the check box.
    I've always been under the impression that the check box was an include/exclude thing its either on or off.
    Instance I was trying to burn a cd from a playlist and it went over. So I would un-check boxes for items in the list and try to re-burn the cd. Even after clearly it telling me I had less time and space itunes was still trying to burn the 'unchecked' items.
    So .... what are the check boxes good for?? I'm sure I'm going to feel really dumb when the answer is presented.
    Thanks for your time .. on a ridiculous question!

    *I guess I haven't put enough thought into creating a playlist to contain every song I would like to play at a given time.*
    By checking/unchecking songs, you alreay are doing it, except instead of having them in a neat, tidy playlist or two, you have the whole library to go thru.
    Here's how I do it.
    It's very simple to get new music and my favorites onto the iPod, once set it up.
    I have a few playlist I sync.
    One is a regular playlist (iPod Music) with all the music I always want on my iPod.
    I also create a smart playlist.
    The criteria are.
    Match all rules;
    Playlist is not iPod music (this keeps from selecting songs I already have)
    My rating is not 1 star (keeps off stuff I rate one star)
    Have not heard in last two weeks (rotates older music)
    Limit selection to 2GB by Random (the size is set to the iPod total size minus iPod music playlist size).
    Then I select the iPod, click the Music tab.
    Tick Sync music and choose Selected playlists in the drop down.
    Tick the two playlists above.
    I add/delete from the iPod Music playlist to always sync this music.
    Once a week or so, depending on how much I have listened to the iPod, select the smart playlist.
    Select all the songs and press Delete. Since it's a smart playlist, it will automatically fill up again with new music based on the criteria.
    Then I sync the iPod.
    (I really gotta start a blog with this info in it since I type it a bunch...)

  • I just got InDesign CS6 and am running it on an iMac and I know the license is good for two computers which will come in very handy for me.  How do I set it up to access it from my second iMac?

    I just got InDesign CS6 and am running it on an iMac and I know the license is good for two computers which will come in very handy for me.  How do I set it up to access it from my second iMac?

    I just had an afterthought, Peter, if I could bother you further; if the downstairs iMac that I want to access it from is in my wife's name and not mine (even though I'll be the one using it on her computer) does that affect anything or can I simply load the software straight into her computer without any complications?

  • I downloaded mountain lion on my laptop.  Do I need to do the same on my Desktop and iPad or is the one download good for all 3, and how do I do that if it is?

    I downloaded mountain lion on my laptop.  Do I need to do the same on my Desktop and iPad or is the one download good for all 3, and how do I do that if it is?

    If your desktop computer is one that supports Mountain Lion, you can either download it there or make a bootable jump drive with the installer on it -- assuming you haven't yet used the installer you downloaded to your laptop.
    As for the iPad, it doesn't use the same OS as the Macs do; it uses iOS versions, so Mountain Lion won't work there.

  • Is the mac book pro good for gaming?

    Is it good for heavy minecraft work? And which core should I get?
    Thanks

    Minecraft does not have heavy system requirements, so any of the current models will play minecraft just fine. Either the Core i5 or Core i7 will do for what Minecraft requires, so if you are only interested in Minecraft then I'd go for whatever fits your best price (the 15-inch will ultimately do better than the 13 inch because of the dedicated graphics card). If you are looking to extend beyond Minecraft and do heavy graphics processing in games or otherwise, then go for the Core i7 and higher quality dedicated graphics card.
