CTOnews.com February 8 news, In a recent interview with foreign technology media TechCrunch, Apple executives admitted that Mac still has a gap in games. MacWorld thought Apple Silicon was great, but the overall gaming experience on Mac was as frustrating as ever. Apple needs to improve in many ways if it is to appeal to gamers.

CTOnews.com here first shares the description of game performance from Apple Mac Mini official website page: "M2 or M2 Pro amazing graphics processing performance blessing, let you play" Pascal Contract "and other graphics-intensive 3A game masterpieces, enjoy smooth high frame rate and high-fidelity graphics. "

MacWorld, a foreign technology media, bought a new Mac Mini equipped with an M2 Pro chip, 16GB of memory and 1TB SSD for $1800 in its evaluation, which can indeed control most AAA games.

With Prioritize Graphics mode preset to 1080P resolution, the tested game frame rates ranged from 70 to 120fps. When MetalFX Upscaling is enabled in Quality mode, performance can be improved by about 30%. You can even turn it up to 4K resolution and output at 40-60fps in Prioritize Graphics mode.

That is to say, Apple Mac's game performance is OK, but there is no advantage for Windows PC at the same price, and the number of games on the platform is still very small.

Apple chip designer Tim Millet also acknowledged that Apple Silicon chips currently have gaps in gaming. He said Apple would not use the slogan "Mac is a great gaming platform" in its promotion, but Apple would continue to improve Apple Silicon's gaming performance in the future.
