Civilization V is updated with support for 4k and the new Mac Pro

CivilizationV-4k-0

Civilization V debuts as one of the first 'big' titles to fully support the workstation graphics cards in the new Mac Pro as the prelude to a series of games that will make good use of them.

How could it be otherwise, the company behind this has been Aspyr, one of the most important in relation to ports from PC to Mac being perhaps Bioshock the best known. Well, this company has also been in charge of the update for the current version of Civilization V where the new strategy game will also be optimized for OpenCL and thus get the best performance in NVIDIA and ATI chipsets within OS X Mavericks as well to support 4K resolution displays.

According to Aspyr this game is the one that better take advantage of this optimization over OpenCL to get the most out of your Mac Pro graphics cards

Mac gamers playing on the Mac Pro will now be able to take full advantage of the machine's second video card, which means better visuals and better performance for the critically acclaimed strategy game. In particular, Civilization V on the Mac Pro will now support 4K resolution monitors while running and with fewer bugs. The game should run faster (which means less waiting time between different turns in end-of-game situations) […]This update makes Civilization V the only Mac game currently supported by the second video card in the Mac Pro.

To celebrate this event that raises the quality of this already magnificent strategy game one step, its creators have decided to put it with a 50% discount from the Mac App Store to a price of 13,99 Euros.
