I tried a racing game Forza Horizon (one of the later ones - I forget which one). You won't have much left to start any games and keep playing themĪs an example my Late iMac 2015 with an AMD Radeon R9 M380 2 GB can't run any modern games in Windows. References (kind of old but still relevant):Īny Mac that doesn't have too high a screen resolution and too little graphics memory - you have to, IMO, go above 4GB graphics memory as the iMac with 2GB graphics memory is really just capable of having enough memory to give the full 5120x2880 resolution. also, apple silicon m1 pro/max is not really a viable option IMO since crossover gives very mixed results from what i've heard, and the general lack of/waiting for optimization for AS is not worth it right now for me if you don't need a laptop form factor then that's probably a better option. Hope this was helpful!Įdit: there's definitely a better desktop option as maccheetah suggests in the post below, though obviously that's a desktop and not portable like a laptop. From what I've seen online, the 2019 16 inch has more power than both, and consolidates all of my systems into one. Personally I had a windows laptop with an i7 and GTX 1650Ti 2GB, which was ok at gaming, and a trashcan Mac Pro with Xeon 6 core and dual D300s, which turned out to suck at most games because the dual GPU drivers don't play nice anymore. I haven't received and tested mine yet, but as long as you game with headphones the fan noise isn't really a problem. Just make sure to use MacsFanControl or TGPro to manage thermals, and for best game performance try using bootcampdrivers. Think of it as a macbook that can also play games pretty well. It seems to mostly be 1080p60, maybe 1440p60 in some games. Just keep in mind that whatever option you pick, the 16" is NOT a dedicated gaming laptop so don't expect 4k60 ultra settings by any means.
There is a 5600M option, though even with current pricing they're ~3000 USD, which is too expensive to justify IMO. I'd try to get one with 32GB of RAM since it's non-upgradeable and it seems to benefit some games pretty well (ex Escape From Tarkov), the 8GB of VRAM on the 5500M is just to be safe since more and more games need 4GB or more of VRAM to play smoothly. Especially now that the prices are falling, a good example can be had for ~1500 USD on eBay, maybe less. IMO it's the obvious choice since it's portable, supports Bootcamp, has a great screen and speakers, decent battery life, and importantly does not have the godawful butterfly keyboard. From my research it seems even the base model with iM 4GB would be pretty decent at games. I had a similar situation to you, my solution was buying a 2019 16" Macbook Pro with a 2.3Ghz i9, 5500M 8GB, 32GB RAM, and 2TB SSD.
