How does the current M1's graphics performance compare to, say, a mid-range NVIDIA laptop GPU?
- Joeri 6y agoIt is 30% to 50% slower than a 1050ti according to https://ikarios.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/comparing-a-macbook-air-2020-m1-with-my-nvidia-1050-ti-gaming-pc/ https://ikarios.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/comparing-a-macbook... That dovetails with my own experiences. I installed tomb raider on my m1 air, and while it was playable i was not impressed with its graphical abilities. The m1 is great for integrated graphics, but not on par with dedicated graphics. CPU-wise it is the fastest computer I have though, noticeably faster than the i5 9600K in my desktop.
- skohan 6y agoThanks - so it sounds like a 100% speedup would put it into "decent" territory
- mekpro 6y agoA bit slower than GTX 1050 mobile
- GeekyBear 6y agoThe Apples to Apples comparison (if you will) is to other integrated GPUs. >The first Apple-built GPU for a Mac is significantly faster than any integrated GPU we’ve been able to get our hands on, and will no doubt set a new high bar for GPU performance in a laptop. Based on Apple’s own die shots, it’s clear that they spent a sizable portion of the M1’s die on the GPU and associated hardware, and the payoff is a GPU that can rival even low-end discrete GPUs. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-tested/3 https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste...
