I really liked it, but I dont want it to be immediately updated after I get it. anyhow, any games run smooth on it? --- We are Borg. <cite>jon1012 posted [p:954304220] in Do any gam...

It's integrated GPU is somewhere around the level of a mobile GTX 1050. A vast majority of games on the Mac are still x86, so most will be running through an emulation layer. But the M1 is a very good processor, so it generally doesn't slow games down too bad. That said there are only a handful of games with native ARM support, most of which are iOS games since M1 Macs can run iOS apps. Another interesting thing is Dolphin, the Gamecube and Wii emulator. It recently got an ARM port for M1 Macs, and it runs great. --- 17 years on Gamefaqs, and I still don't have a signature. <cite>Son Of Spam posted [p:954305207] in Do any gam...

They had to turn the graphics down, but they seem to be ok with that. --- If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard.
