I forgot to mention, Final Fantasy 14 for the Mac did not work because MacOS Monterrey, the OS shipped with these MBP, is currently not yet supported. Support should be available later this year...
@@tivtag Interesting. It's as you say, ignoring the warning let the game boot just fine. Performance is a little disappointing IMO. Looks like the max resolution allowed in the port is 1728x1117 and with a "High (Mac)" setting, I'm only able to get around 45 to 55 FPS. Both the CPU and GPU aren't even under full load either. I really wish Square Enix could get FFXIV to work as well as Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It looks like it might be limitations of the Luninous engine vs Unreal or the extra work Edios did in optimizing the engine...
@@SuprUsrStan Meh! That’s strange. We should write Square Enix/FF14 support. Hopefully there will be some optimizations from Codeweaver with the expansion.
32 or 64 gb of unified memory? How do you think this affects performance in Makos games? is 32 enough, or 64 can increase performance? Thank you. And please try XCOM 2🤗
I have 64. 32 is plenty for games and even normal pro apps like video editing. 64 is really overkill for those uses. Extra ram isn’t going to make a difference in anything until you run out and even then you have a 7gb/s SSD acting as swap.
Does starcraft hold up when the supplies get higher? I don't really care if I have to set everything to low, its just all the benchmarks don't show max supply battles.
Could you test Neat Video benchmark in FCP on 1080P and 4K footage? I’m getting about 13 fps and 3.5 fps on 1080P and 4K respectively with my base MacBook Air M1.
Thanks for those benchmarks! Did you experience fan noise during dota 2 and csgo gameplays? Also, for those games did you notice drop frames that could impact team fights? Cheers! Hope to get my m1 max soon.
For those two games, 16 inch fans barely spun up which was very impressive. In my review video for the machine, I brought my mic close to machine while WoW was running in the background and the mic couldn't even pick up the noise.
Hello i have questions I plan to pay $1500 for a gaming laptop or a Mac, but I don't know what to choose. I want to use it for VFX, GAMING, montage, professional design, and cinematic design, but I heard that Mac is better stability than Windows, and also in terms of security and longer life, for example, Windows 4 years and ends performance As for Mac, it guarantees that it will last longer with you, because I don't know what to choose
Hello, I don't know if you've made your decision, but here are my thoughts. It will be unlikely that you will find a Mac that can game with reasonable performance for $1500. You definitely can find a windows/linux gaming laptop for that amount though. The laptops with the AMD GPUs are killing it, and the Nvidia Max-Q or laptop GPUs do very well too.

could you compare it with gtx 3060 and 3070?
FF14 started just fine on my M1 MacBook Pro with Monterrey installed. There was a warning when starting the launcher, but it works just fine.

@@tivtag CodeWeavers are working on a M1 implementation so it should help whenever they eventually get it out.
Nice one bruh!! I've been wondering how this titan would perform on games. Very nice image quality and editing!! Congrats!!
Thanks for this very instructive video. Could you make another one with games usually running on Windows (parallel, crossover or Rosetta2)?
Great video thanks for this! 👍
Awesome coverage

Def playing some SC2 on this machine

Does it gets warm and loud during the gaming sessions?
Warm, not hot. The fans don't even spin up all the way so there's so much more thermal headroom compared to previous MBPs.
@@SuprUsrStan Thank you for the reply, keep up the good content!
@@SuprUsrStan does that mean this mbp is comfortable for gaming? i tried dota 2 in macbook air it gets really hot
Please test: cyberpunk 2077 and red dead redemption 2.
Also test rpcs3 and switch emulation along with cemu (Zelda breath of the wild)
My m1 max 16” fps drop after 40 mins Dota is it normal
What a disappointment. I have a 4th gen i 5 with a gtx 1650 and I push about 50 frames on 1440 max settings playing wow. This has to be throttled.
what about the noise ?
This is the significantly quieter than all previous 15" and 16" MacBook Pro. There's a quiet woosh of airflow but no annoying fan noise.
is your real name "stan" ? Or is it really more like xiao liu wen chen ? be honest
