ck2 on macbook - flickering 3d models

[unmerged(768169)]

Hi,

Please can you tell me if there is a fix for this. I am playing Steam Crusader Kings II on a Macbook and the 3d objects on the map (armies, buildings, heraldry) are constantly flickering. I know this has been reported by other users in various places but I have struggled to determine if a solution was ever found, or if it depends on your Macbook specs. Here are my Macbook specs...

Your machine is theoretically below the minimum recommended for the game

Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 6750 / NVIDIA GeForce 320 / NVIDIA GeForce 9600 or higher

All you can really do is update to OS X 10.8 which has much better video drivers, and you ought to up that memory to at least 4gb, as since 1.09x the game can consume more than 2gb all by itself.

Can you point us to a Mac model equipped with any of those graphics cards (in non-mobile version)?
