I still don't think it has much to do with the video card as it does the translation between the video card and the CPU, but I don't have much proof in my theory - I'm just going by the little I do know about Macs capabilities in the 3D realm.
I believe it might have something to do with Direct X. I don't think Mac has anything similar to Direct X and that's why PC's can compute massive 3D environments in real time (i.e. as in games).
I know this is an old article, but HAS Direct X ever been successfully implemented into Macs (for porting of hard core games)?
