Video hardware compatibility, issues, and solutions

Notes:
  • Make sure your video card meets the system Requirements.
  • To find out what video, sound, and DirectX® versions you are currently using please visit our Driver Update Information page.
  • For links to manufacturers web sites please visit our Hardware Vendor list.
  • If your screen has wavy lines, is off center, or is experiencing other problems; try setting your monitor refresh rate manually.
  • Run the Warcraft III video test program.
  • Only cards with 16MB of Video RAM or more on them are supported by the Macintosh version of Warcraft III. There are 8MB versions of some of the cards on the list below. Those 8MB version cards are not supported.
  • ATI provides a unified driver for all of it's Macintosh products. In all cases we recommend you use the most recent ATI drivers for your version of the Mac OS.
  • nVidia is not yet publishing drivers for any version of the Mac OS. All driver updates for these cards are available via the "Software Update" control panel in Mac OS 9, or via the "Software Update" panel of the "System Preferences" application included with Mac OS X.
