    Main Display Lagging while Recording

    Hello, I have searched vastly looking for a solution, asked ChatGPT, and have checked what felt like every corner of the web for two hours. Whenever I record or stream on OBS Studio, I have it opened on my second monitor (Sceptre, 1080p, 60Hz), and usually use my main monitor (LG Brand TV, 60...

    Apple: A company that listens

    (Wasn't sure where to post this since it covers just Apple. haha. But I was using my iphone for the most current issue and the App Store, so here it is. lol) The title might sound too altruistic on Apple's part, but they seem to listen to feedback more than any other company I've interacted...

    OS X Geforce Now Gaming: Sluggish on Mac Pro 2013

    I recently purchased an maxed out Mac Pro 2013 (3.5ghz, D500, 128 GB Ram) to use as my main machine. Everything works fine as intended but i got really strange issues with this mac and gaming over geforce now. This Mac runs the latest supported MacOS (12.6.5), is connected direct to the Router...

    Old School RuneScape

    Anyone used the new M2 Pro/Max on OSRS? Curious what frame rates you get with/without GPU plugin. My 2019 Intel 2.3ghz i9 gets 18-20 without GPU plugin and 50 FPS with GPU plugin. I am hoping the new ones are much better as this is pretty abysmal. I fully 200% trust the mods will move this...

    OS X MacOS Proton Replacement

    So this is probably a question I’ll get laughed at for asking, but is there an alternative to Proton on MacOS for playing Windows games on Mac? Linux has this application and paired with Steam it works wonders (for the most part). But when I try to find a way to do this on my MacBook, I find...

    I have a late 2014 27" 5k Retina iMac i7 32gb Ram Radeon R9 x295X 4gb GPU I have a peculiar and frustrating issue where my cursor locks in place for about 5 seconds at a time.... I have a wired keyboard, and a wired mouse, which worked on my old mac, works on the new mac, apart from when it...

    OS X Any games for super-ultrawide?

    Hey 👋 So I recently got a a Samsung 49” super ultra wide, to go with my mbp M1 Max/64gb. To be clear it’s a work related purchase, and I didn’t buy it for gaming, and I’m not really a gamer, I have an old Xbox I very rarely play. But man this screen is so damn gorgeous, super amazing for...

    Hi all! The main question of this topic - is it harmful for MacBook to play on it? I tried to play Resident Evil Village and CS:GO on my MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro. I am impressed how good MacBook handles the graphics. Everything is very beautiful and smooth, but when I play CS:GO it gets pretty...

    iPhone 14 Pro Why isn’t Apple fixing the touch input stutter on iPhone 14 Pro models?

    Since I received my iPhone 14 PM I immediately noticed there was an issue with the touch input of the device. In games, you’ll notice a stutter whenever tapping the display, and if your fingers are held down on the screen (using a virtual joystick for example), you get framedrops and stuttering...

    iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro Max stuttering in games

    I'm not sure if this is an issue with iOS 16 or all iPhones 14 pros, but there is stuttering with most of my games on this new phone. It's supposed to be the fastest SoC in a phone yet it's stuttering and dropping frames in games like Terraria or Monster Hunter Stories. I have around 40 games...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Windows 10 Locking Up When Gaming - Temps?

    So, I just installed Windows 10 on its own SSD for gaming purposes and it will crash eventually mid-game. I did some reading around these forums around temperatures and I believe these temps may not be the issue causing the crashing. I play for about 15-20 minutes and entire system will freeze...

    OS X The future of Mac gaming is bright

    I’m writing this post on a decade-old 13-inch MacBook Pro with absolutely miserable graphics hardware that was miserable the day this computer was manufactured. It used to be that the 13-inch MacBook Pro, a very popular computer in the heyday of this particular model, was abysmal as a gaming...

    Amnesia The Dark Descent PPC64 Port

    So I'm trying to compile Amnesia The Dark Descent on Linux Gentoo (on my G5 Quad) - because the original Mac PPC version was unstable (on ATI) and sluggish on NVIDIA - (and as you know on Linux you can have a bit more modern GPUS - I have HD 5450 currently). Plus even if those reasons are not...

    Additional examples of 8-GPU M2 Air outperforming 10-GPU model?

    Like many prospective M2 MacBook Air buyers, I have seen GregsGadgets' game benchmark video showing the M2 Air with 8 GPU cores outperforming the 10 GPU core unit, side by side -- presumably due to more significant thermal throttling in the 10-GPU core unit due to the additional cores. Greg...

    Mac has high temperature while running games, is this a concern?

    Hello, So I've recently started testing a game (Skyrim Special Edition, on Bootcamp to be exact) on both my Macs, one of which is an iMac and the other a MacBook Pro. Now, I'm perfectly aware that Macs aren't really designed for gaming, and while I have considered something a little more...
