I do not know the Mac equivalent of this


According to this: http://wow.gamepedia.com/Console, you can:

* Using the Terminal application (Mac)
* Open the Terminal application (usually found in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
* Type "open" followed by a space (do not press return)
* Drag the "World of Warcraft Launcher" application onto the flashing cursor in the Terminal window
* Type "--args -console" Your command line should now look something like this: open /Applications/World\ of\ Warcraft/World\ of\ Warcraft\ Launcher.app --args -console
* Press return
*The WoW launcher will open; press Play
* Once the login screen appears, press the "`" key (or whichever key you have bound to the console)

I just tried myself and it works :)

Looks pretty good, the extra foliage is pleasant to look at and the increased view distance. Definitely going to try it out come Nostalrius launch.

Thank you very much! I put in a lot of time and research into creating this master list of quality and performance tweaks. You should feel that the game performs a bit smoother too!

I just have two questions for you. Are these all the maximum values? Can we have the brief description for each command back?

Thank you. Excellent post!

These are maximum values. I am compiling accurate descriptions for each command now. Will be updated later.

I just tryed it out, and I must say that my clock-rate is going sky high with the maximum values x) ...It's eating sh*t outta my crappy laptop, hahaha !! Lucky me I've been planning on buying new one before launch ;)

Aside from crappy laptops, I'd say that I absolutely love the results by the changes you can make with the commands !! For me, this was the "little extra" that somewhat improves the gaming-experience a bit !! Thanks again :)
