I tested the new game porting kit on a Mac mini M2 and was surprised I was able to run Cyberpunk 2077 and it was running really well, I can imagine that more powerful M processors will be awesome, so the argument of games might go away soon
- katbyte 3y agoHow does it work? You install a windows game via steam and then tell it to port?
- stouset 3y agoIt’s basically Wine with a custom D12 translation to Metal calls. Right now it’s not really intended for end-users so the experience involves a lot of steps that aren’t consumer-friendly, but some folks are publishing wrappers that simplify the process. I imagine that in the future, something like Steam will wrap this functionality to provide the ability to run the whole library under the toolkit. And individually-published games will do the same so they install and run with a more consumer-friendly experience.

- Grazester 3y agoWhat is really well? Can me have a metric? What resolution and what frame rate?
- tzekid 3y agoSomething like: M1 MBA, around 12 FPS Ultra settings or high 30s on Medium at 1440p ( max res. apparently )
- brucethemoose2 3y agoSo can my old 14" RTX 2060 laptop, on a 4K TV. I have seen the demos, but I am skeptical of the actual practicality or value proposition until a 3rd party publishes some frametime benchmarks, and games out in the wild get battle tested.
- tzekid 3y agoYep, but an avg. RTX 2060 laptop consumes 3x - 4x the wattage of an M2, no?
