mavericks or yosemite?

Post by Zoltán »

I am new to the mac world and have a macbook pro with yosemite preinstalled.
I am experiencing sluggish performance in arena when scrolling, about 3 fps refresh of the UI.
The output is displayed fluid, so I guess this is caused by the OS.
Does this also happens on mavericks?

Also the benchmark scored low compared to same spec. machines.
So should I look for a mavericks installer somewhere?

Pretty sure you can't install a version of Mac OS lower than the version your computer shipped with. Doing a reinstall of Yosemite may help though.

Resolume 4.2 seems to be working much better for people on Yosemite. Have you upgraded to 4.2?

Edit: Sometimes there are just bad computers. If you do the above steps and still have major performance issues, call Apple.

I have 4.2, ,4.1.11
this is a mid 2012 macbook pro I bought used.
If you have not downloaded older versions of osx from apple store, the older versions don't show up for you to install, so I will need to find someone who has a mavericks install app.
Downgrade then will be just fine.
I have reinstalled yosemite last week.

in parallels desktop win7 resolume scrolls just fine.

in yosemite I see some of the os window animations sluggish too.
so really not a resolume issue, but os, just asking if mavericks has the same, or if anyone else has this on yosemite,

Edit: reverted to mavericks, the time machine backup from yosemite can't be restored, but the scrolling is much smoother.
