Sorry for making this post, but I am so delighted that I can't stop telling people. I am a Mac user, Macbook air to be precise. 11 inch 1 kg computer, with integrated grafics and an i5.
Running tf2 on my mac was, meh. With Chris configs and a lot of tweaks, I garnered about a ~40 fps average on crowded places.
I just read somewhere that if you partition your drive and install Windows performance could be better. A little skeptical but finally got on to try it.
And...
I'm getting an average of 200-400 fps on the Windows. It's unbelievable. I've been even able to stream at somewhat high quality while playing serious, and not lagging. Before I could only do so at low quality, and maybe while playing Engie in mvm or medic.
It's just, amazing. A solid 66 fps (cap), but could go up to 200. Game takes to boot like, 10 seconds max instead of the old 1 minute (helps that I'm on SSD).
I'm thinking of making a guide, not sure if I should, on how to do it. But, it REALLY IS WORTH IT. Like, really really. At least if you have a poor computer as I do. I mean, if you have a monster mac, allright, but for the rest, please do yourself a favor and do it.
If anybody would like a guide, it would take me some time, but this is so helpful that I couldn't say no.
Thanks, enjoy.
Oh, and P-REC, oh, and also Lawena

Why would you make a guide? Bootcamping to windows isn't exactly something that's hard to do.

I'm trying to help Mac users with not so good computers that try to improve their performance, so please keep the windows vs mac comments away, or unuseful ones. Thank you.

if they were really that serious, they would've considered a windows machine instead
