Most game developers haven’t optimized their games for Mac, but that’s something of a chicken-and-egg situation. Watch the full video below for the complete rundown of 25 popular games. Shadow of the Tomb Raider also runs under Rosetta, and achieved the same 96fps at 1080p on High.
At 1080p, which he says still looks good, it hits 96fps. Metro Exodus, running under Rosetta, achieved 40-50fps at native resolution. The AMD upscaler is being adapted to run on Apple Silicon, which will further boost frame rates.
MrMacRight found that, in 1440p, the game comfortably ran at 120 frames per second most of the time, with slightly lower rates seen during very intense graphics work like combat scenes. The video opens with Baldur’s Gate 3, which runs natively on Apple Silicon. It shows that the machine equals or exceeds the performance of Nvidia’s Geforce RTX 3060 graphics card, which is a popular choice for mid-range gaming rigs. But other things like Xenonauts (which is what kicked all this off) and Half-Life are still blocked.YouTuber MrMacRight, whose focus is gaming on Apple devices, has put together a great roundup of M1 Max games tests, running on a 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip and 32GB of unified memory. They might have done this 2 years ago for all I know! Now I can play Magic Carpet and Fallout 2 without huge amounts of stuff-around, yay. Just by writing this post, I noticed it looks like GOG has updated the version of DOSBox they use to be 64-bit so they support ≥Catalina, that's great news. Is there a better way? I don't particularly feel committed enough to trying this out to buy Parallels outright just to tinker with some nostalgia. The best thing I can think of is to download Parallels, install the Windows 10 ARM Beta in a VM, and try running the 32-bit Windows binary through that. And it's my understanding that no version of MacOS earlier than Big Sur will run on an M1 machine, including via emulation. Has anyone found a way to play some of the older, "wrapped" games available from Steam, GOG or Humble, on native MacOS on an M1 machine? For example the original Half-Life on Steam provides a Mac version, but it's a 32-bit binary, so it won't run on anything over Catalina.
