Total War: WARHAMMER II/ Rosetta 2: As I moved from village to village in Total War: WARHAMMER II, I was getting an average FPS of 30-40 on high quality presets at 1440 x 900 resolution. I moved from room to room, sold a property, and interacted with characters throughout with no latency or issues. The M1 handled this game with ease producing 50-60 FPS efficiently throughout the gameplay. After downloading the game from Steam, I set it up to run on high quality presets at 1650 x 1050 resolution.

This title isn't too complicated or graphically intensive, so the MacBook Pro handled it with ease.Įmpire of Sin/ Rosetta 2: Empire of Sin is a new game released in early December where the player assumes the role of a 1920s mob boss in Chicago. Like Dota 2, the game had no freezes or shutdowns throughout the testing. Throughout the duration of the game testing, I was getting 60 FPS consistently with little variation. Sid Meier's: Civilization VI/Rosetta 2: I tested Sid Meier's: Civilization VI at 1440 x 900 resolution on high settings. I never had any issues booting the game or closing it out with no freezes or application shutdowns while playing. Dota 2 was the smoothest game to play on the list that I tested. On average, I was getting between 45-60 FPS consistently while battling rival players. I tried the game at 1440 x 900 resolution on medium to high resolution.

I will add that the Apple M1-optimized software screamed and was performant. My recent testing of new, unreleased M1-optimized versions of Office 365 (sans Teams and OneDrive) and Edge reduced power draw and improved compatibility a lot.ġ440 x 900 resolution testing in Shadow of the Tomb Raider Shadow of the Tomb Raiderĭota 2/Rosetta 2: Dota 2 was the only MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) title that we tested on the MacBook Pro M1 and is a Top 10 Steam game. This review is a follow-up to my first review using the new M1 MacBook as my primary productivity tool for nearly a week, where I had a mixed experience with some productivity software titles. Therefore, I wanted to see how playable AAA games were on the new M1-based Mac, given the giant M1 GPU and its UMA architecture that should speed up memory reads and writes between CPU and GPU. I am confident the company is talking more about iOS developers' games, but it did demonstrate AAA games like Tomb Raider, which led me to believe that AAA games were a target.

Gaming has not been much of a focus for the Mac operating system, but it has been a significant point of success for Apple on iOS. At Apple's WWDC and Mac product launch, gaming (game/games/gaming) was cited 23 times, so I believe Apple intended to create a good gaming experience. My expectations for AAA gaming on any 13" notebook with integrated graphics are low for any IGP notebook brand.
