imagine this game optimized
If you run Witcher in DX12 mode it works even better.
that’s crazy performance boost in 2 years for a laptop, thanks for the vid man!
Nice! What about M3 Pro vs M1/M2 Pro?
would love to see you add commentary and a conclusion
I would love to know how the increased CPU performance of the M3 series improves the translation layer for something like the M3 Pro vs chips with better GPUs like the M1/M2 Max in a game like Cyberpunk. From some quick testing I’ve seen online, it looks like the 18gpu M3 Pro was getting 5-10fps more than my M2 Max was in the benchmark.
Thanks for the video, and that's without being native and optimized, and also on the 14 inches m3 max, because there's a boost of about 10% of performance on the 16 inches m3 max due to the thermals. Best
Wow – 2x the fps from the M1 max to M3 Max
How were the thermals/fan noise? I have the 24c 14" and I was thinking about upgrading to the 14" 30c — I heard the 40c is very loud and hot.
would love to see m1 max vs m3 pro
Hey how would ya say the noise is when gaming on the fans? Supposedly the 16 inch is quieter but not sure if I can take their word for it
Thank you for the video, these updates are awesome.
Little story:
Me getting up at 5am, preparing for work, and checking, if MacProTips made a new video. If yes, let’s go we have our morning video 😄
Good start for my day
So thank you for the video 😄
Imagine the further uplift with the 40-core M3 Max.
wow, what a boost! Have you any plans for native games comparision? (No Man's Sky, RE: Village, Baldur's Gate 3, MEdium, Metro Exodus, Civ 6, etc.)
Would be cool to see another video with some native Mac games too from you 🙂
Interesting, tahnk you agin for your work! It's a good new, that mac can become a casual gaming laptop. I can't wait native game, and then have only one computer to work and use it also as casual gamer. Curious to see the difference between 30core gpu and 40 core GPU.
GPTK1.1 apparently makes a big improvement?
Pretty impressive how well cyberpunk runs even tho the game is not even a native port
How’s the fan noise on the m3 max 14 inch? I want to shell out the money for one but I wouldn’t want to game if the fans are maxed the whole time.
Do a gaming test on m3 MacBook 16 gb ram
