Hi,
Could anyone test TappyChicken demo performance on recent macbook pro retina configurations with those videocards:

Intel Iris Graphics (13’ models)

Intel Iris Pro Graphics (15’ models)

NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M (15’ models)
I would like to know editor fps with default settings, standalone game and mobile preview fps also (to show fps in standalone demos use ‘stat FPS’ command in console by ’ - Tilde key)

Currently I have 2013 macbook with Intel Graphics 4000 and I have
about 16 fps in editor, same in standalone game and about 40 fps in ‘mobile preview’
(of course with some additional setup I could get about 20-30 fps in editor).

This performance is enough for learning engine, but this will be nightmare for serious work therefore I would like to explore possible options
for upgrading mac laptop
(of course I able to get additional PC laptop in $1500 range with enough performance, but I think that using of two laptops simultaneously is not best choose for me)
(also currently I think that desktop or workstation PC or Mac Pro, iMac also is not suitable option for me now).

I am getting really bad performance issues with a new Mid 2014 13-inch Macbook Pro Retina. I find UE4 unusable. If I start up UE4 and leave the Editor Window maximized with default empty blueprint scene my CPU jumps up between 120 - 170% in Activity Monitor and battery goes dead in just over 2hrs!
