Graphic performance on Nvidia new MacBookshokkein01/27/2009 - 06:18

Hi there, I've experienced a strange occurrance. World of goo seems to be working much more smoothly on a Intel graphics integrated chipset of my previous macbook rather than on my new Nvidia 9400 based new macbook that should smoke the previous one.
Any clues?

I've experienced this too - game runs fine on Intel GMA macbooks but on my Macbook Pro with 8600m gt it runs VERY slowly, perhaps 10fps at times.

can you get updated drivers from nvidia?  I know you can get updates from intel.

OSX Drivers? No, those are supplied by Apple in system updates.
