You need to run the game in HDR in order to eliminate the screen tearing. Apparently, there’s extreme amounts of screen tearing when the game is running in SDR. I’ve reported several issues to 505 games. Even told them to optimise the game further with future patches. They got back to me and agreed to work on bringing more patches to the game asap.
Yes it is!!!, It has several performance problems, I can't connect the game online, tried everything, the games starts 4K 60fps stable but the performance drops really bad, I made some test, and the GPU of the Macbook Pro M3 Pro is like a RX 6700 XT 12GB (I tested in renders and editing and the experience is almost the same), and in windows with this game I can run it with my RX 6700 XT 4K 60FPS stable with no trouble, but in my Macbook Pro M3 Pro the framerate is the half, but starts 4K 60fps and later the performance drops really bad...
hmm... I played for 10 hours without realising that HDR was even supported, I then enabled it in -game + in macOS.. (and yes OFC using a display that supports HDR) and didn't notice any difference in performance compared to before I enabled it... @@gamerec1986
@@gamerec1986 the m3 pro is no where near a 6700XT, The Max ist, but still below it
@@gamerec1986 *in gaming. The M3 Pro has around 6.4 Tflops of raw power and the 6700XT around 13.2
The game doesnt have Performance problems
@@larssssssssssssds the Tflops doesn't mean too much about 3d rendering (rasterization) sometimes, well I tested my RX6700 XT 12GB in windows in cinema making some renders, and the macbook pro m3 pro is just a 12% less powerfull in real apps, in all the cases, the macbook pro m3 pro is almost as fast an rx 6700 xt, video editing, 3d rendering, the rx 5500 xt has almost 6Tflops of power and believe me, I had that one and the M3 Pro GPU is waayyyyyyy powerfull than a rx 5500 xt, in Davinci Resolve 4K noise reduction the RX 5500 XT has 10/12FPS, the M3 Pro can hit 20/24FPS easily same noise reduction settings, guess what GPU can do the same, the RX 6700 XT, well one or two more fps, even in Blender GPU rendering the performance is almost as good as a RX 6700 XT, I am not telling you this without test or asumming, I tested a lot agains one in front of another, because of my workflow and that´s why I am super impressed about the m3 pro GPU, and that´s why I am telling you the game is bad optimized, well to be honest all games in MacOS has really weird performance problems, all of them to be honest, and that is a thing hopefully would change in the future, hopefully because I love my M3 Pro but gaming is that one thing is on debt with all Mac Users...
It could be that given the higher uRAM in the Macbook Air (16GB) it simply allocates more memory for the game to have a larger buffer for streaming in resources, whereas the MacBook Pro (8GB) does it ad-hoc and thus has lower memory pressure.
Or it could be just an odd-instance of memory-leak or over-allocation for that specific scene/scenario.
You'd really have to profile the game more deeply to investigate what the cause could be, because during the 1080p-low test, you can observe that the Macbook Pro has a higher memory usage, especially during that shower scene at 4:50.
It's always good to see you. Thanks for the review!
Another great video. I really appreciate how you go through the different models, as well as the recommendations you give. This is the type of video that I appreciate...just the information, none of the superfluous stuff. Thanks and keep up the great work!
DS2: I’m going to be optimistic and say that they are still using the Decima engine, which apparently runs great on Mac, so it seems a no brainer to port it on Mac when they port it to PC.
But, yeah. If it doesn’t sell squat on Mac they might not think it’s not worth it.
Cheers.
Edit: forgot a “not”
Regarding the memory allocation difference, it could be the M3’s new "Dynamic Caching" at work here, as shown in the last presentation, tough it is not very well known yet how effectively it is in these types of workloads.
Excellent video, thanks for the work
been waiting for a week ) thanks)
I have set a sleep timer for 30 min I am sleeping listening to you got a great voice man.
The memory being used is actually the same (the second number in brackets).
The first number is the dedicated allocated space available…which will be different based on the chip sharing resources via unification. It’ll always allocate more with the higher ram availability.
What's your favorite controller for gaming on a mac?
PS5 controller
Thanks for the quick response and keep up the amazing work! You're my go to for all things mac gaming :) @@MrMacRight
What's is the app your using on the top right corner to check the GPU perfomance? thank you
Was this the mac version you brought on App Store, or a windows version being run through gpt?
Just wanted to say, your videos make me happy :) ps I also love water lol
I wonder how the m3 max 14in would have performed if set to low power mode as there’s been tests where it performs as good or better than the m2 max with significantly better thermals/less power
I love the lighter side of @mrmacright because even with humor he brings the details
Which settings are the best for the M3 Pro?
Do you know why vibrations does not work with both xbox and ps5 controllers?
Does anyone know how VSync on MacBook Pros with ProMotion works? I find it very strange, when I'm at 120 fps, everything seems exceptionally smooth, but when FPS drops to something in between, I can see noticeable tearing. When I lock FPS to 60 and turn the VSync Off, things seems much smoother than having cap on 120 FPS with VSync On while having roughly same FPS. Is ProMotion badly optimised for gaming or am I doing something wrong?
How fix broken shower???
MAcBook Air 15 with M2 uses more CPU / GPU specifically because it throttles. It's SoC runs at lower clock speed, so it has to use more % of the limited resources. As of memory, @slamhk1648 explained - if you have more RAM, software usually allocates more (because it can, and that's a good thing!).
But in general I don't think that MBA should have an active cooling. This is great about them! They're not a gaming devices nor devices that should run at 100% for long period of times. Those are "daily drivers" for many people and not having a fan, is a great benefit.
Thx for the vid, well done! I agree this is the best Mx Apple silicon port so far also thx to amazing tech behind Decima engine. Guerilla r truly master coders and they proved that during difficult PS3 Cell time when other devs were completely lost with it's very difficult/unique design. No surprise here that Kojima has decided to use it after all that struggle with their in house Fox engine.
I improve my English by watching your videos 😅
whoa I think I own that shirt lol I feel like a proud nerd now.
"Sam, this is Tim Apple. I manage a company called Apple, but also I am literally a sentient apple tree. The apple is thought to have been domesticated 4,000-10,000 years ago in the Tian Shan mountains, and then to have traveled along the Silk Road to Europe, with hybridization and introgression of wild crab-apples from Siberia (M. baccata), the Caucasus (M. orientalis), and Europe (M. sylvestris). Did you know that the only apples native to North America are crab apples, which were once called 'common apples'? Old World apples were introduced to North America by colonists in the 17th century, and the first apple orchard on the North American continent was planted in Boston by Reverend William Blaxton in 1625. I hope this helps you on your delivery, we are all counting on you! Apple out!"
Today the games got an update, and a lot of problems got solved and THE PERFORMANCE IN MY CASE INCREASED!!!, wow good optimization makes a diference, well still can be better for sure, but these are good steps for Games in Mac, I am more happy looking that the game performs better, and I hope the developers will release more updates, improving performance...
how about a ultra chip benchmark
why would you turn down the fps when using low graphic???
What point of the video are you referring too?
This game has several performance problems, I can't connect the game online, tried everything, the games starts 4K 60fps stable but the performance drops really bad, I made some test, and the GPU of the Macbook Pro M3 Pro (the one I have) is more like a RX 6700 XT 12GB (I tested in renders and editing and the experience is almost the same), and in windows with this game I can run it with my RX 6700 XT 4K 60FPS stable with no trouble, but in my Macbook Pro M3 Pro the framerate is the half and sometimes lower, but starts 4K 60fps and later the performance drops really bad, miracle well no, but it is nice that more games appears in MacOS but the optimization is really poor and bad... hope the next patches fix all the issues...
Does the mac have any form of VRR?
Yes, it does. I use an Inzone M9 via USB type C and it works without issue. New MPB internal displays even have promotion.
Cheers.
Edit: typo
@@DavideDaviniWhoa, that's a cool monitor.
@@kevinmckenna5682 thanks, it
had some issues with the factory firmware, and I had to use windows to upgrade it, which is BS, but now I’m pretty happy with it.
Cheers.
240fps ??? 1080p high
Someone in one comment wrote about the Tflops, but the Tflops doesn't mean all, the RX 5500 xt has almost 6Tflops of performance and the M3 Pro is wayyyyy powerfull than a rx 5500 xt, in davinci resolve the rx 5500 xt 4k noise reduction spacial can hit 10/12 fps, the M3 Pro same settings 20/25fps, guess what gpu can hit that, well the rx 6700 xt well 2 or 3 more fps, thank god I had all that gpus, I have a windows machine with the rx 6700 xt, and the macbook pro m3 pro in real apps applications almost performs like an a rx 6700 xt, in redshift, in blender, premiere, davinci, hufff, I am telling you with test, not assuming,one machine in front of the other one, this games (and almost all mac games) are bad optimized, this is a thing on debt for mac users, I love my M3 Pro but, this game is not running as it should, but I understand they will not give the same priority like windows games, is sad and I hope Apple and developers would change that in the future, this game runs worst like a rx 5700 xt (I tested in windows this game with that GPU) and believe me, the M3 Pro in Pro apps even 3D, destroys by far the RX 5700 xt, that AMD Gpu is shit agains the M3 Pro, but in this game, the rx 5700 xt beats the M3 Pro, makes no sense at all, the M3 Pro in Redshift is just 10% less powerfull than the M1 Ultraaaaaa!!!!, if you don' believe me, I have a game streaming channel (well I am trying but because my work I have no time to stream XD), and you can notice in my streams that behind me I have a lot of GPU boxes, all brands, all models, I am telling you this with test, this has to change, Apple devices are not cheap, but we love them and that's why I hope this change in the future...
It bugs me on why m1 macbook air runs noticeably better than on ipad pro m1 with the same specs
barely hitting 30 fps in 4k lol thats equal to a 1660 super. Its clear these laptops arent as special as people claim them to be, comparing them to rtx 3080s. They are just stupidly overpriced. Now its natively ported to the macbook so its definitely the true performance. Its clear they have heating issues too. So much for "efficiency"
Pretty sure RTX 2070 runs this better o.0
Coca Cola is the best. Pepsi can suck it!
Damn this guy drinks as loud as me
We wanna see the m1 pro/m2 pro on a macbook and not Mac mini because no one buys the mini
I bought a mac mini m2pro 12/19/16/1tb, I'm interested in it.
@@user-kp9gb3sv2y its very rare people who buys the mini
First comment !!!
thanks
