What AAA games would even run on an M1?

- simonh 4y agoWith the upcoming updates to Metal, in principle quite a few.

- p1necone 4y agoBasically all AAA games will run relatively smoothly (30-60fps) with low-midrange dedicated gpus which is effectively what the M1 performs like on paper (I think it's in the ballpark of the NVidia 1050/1050ti/1650). You just have to lower the settings and resolution to get that smooth performance - think base model last gen console/nintendo switch levels of visual fidelity rather than up to date gaming pc/current gen console levels of visual fidelity. It's kinda fun squeezing performance out of woefully underpowered hardware - LowSpecGamer on youtube is a channel dedicated to this kind of stuff.
- coldtea 4y ago>Basically all AAA games will run relatively smoothly I think the parent's point is "what AAA games would run on the M1, even if they finish GPU support, given that we're talking about ARM Linux?"
- SXX 4y agoActually Apple itself already released Rosetta for Linux VMs. I hope it might also be usable with Asahi to run Steam.
- _piif 4y agoBox64 actually comes quite close to Rosetta in terms of translation speed and apparently that's with optimizations which have yet to be implemented[0]. Would make sense to just use that instead. [0] https://box86.org/2022/03/box86-box64-vs-qemu-vs-fex-vs-rosetta2/ https://box86.org/2022/03/box86-box64-vs-qemu-vs-fex-vs-rose...
