We are hopefully going to be to play most of the 64 bit games on steam but not the most graphicsl intensive titles but that has never been the case so we are really missing out.
Got a tip for us?

M1 Chip Beats GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and Radeon RX 560 for Graphics Performance
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
The GeForce 1050ti was released on October 2016, so actually a four year old design (Radeon rx560 was May 2017). Although good for integrated graphics, as you say some way behind the latest console and PC performance and you can’t even expand the internal storage, something the PS5 allows. It does make the Mac mini an odd buy, especially without being able to use an eGPU.
The million dollar question is if Apple's top-tier GPU's for their Mac Pro will be of the integrated kind or if they will be separate silicon/boards. The difference could be huge.
An interesting tie between Nvidia and Apple M1: Nvidia is in the process of acquiring ARM Inc. (whose processor instruction set architecture Apple has licensed.)
And somehow can only support two USB c ports??
I mean that's obviously still better at the moment - as will the 5600M be on the 16" MBP. But of course next they'll need to do 16core CPU and GPU, or maybe dual processors (if that's plausible) so I suspect they'll eventually get there.
Top 10 High End PC Games You Can Play With GTX 1050 TI Graphics
This article talks about top 10 PC games that you can run in your PC that has GTX 1050ti in it. The games are GTA V, PUBG, Forza Horizon, The Crew 2, Just Cause 3 and 5 more
For what thermal enveloppe ? Or what amount of Power?
It's like trying to compare a smart with A Porsche...
Both are cars, not really the same use case... or Price.
The question is for Light or Small form factor computers is that good?
Lets compare it to NUC numbers (The regular one with iGPU and the Skull ones with dedicated GPU)
The top tier 14.1" and 16" MBP, iMac and iMac Pro with Apple Silicon and graphics are going to be insane. This is fun to watch! I haven't been this excited about Apple Hardware in years.
All this shows is how poor Apples machine have been in the past. Especially the mac mini.
I'll say it three times, to convey the Awesomeness of these New M1 Chips,
Power-To-Watt Ratio, Power-To-Watt Ratio, and Power-To-Watt Ratio !!!
NOTHING on the planet, compares to these New M1's, in that respect. ...Nada !!

PS5 10.28 teraflops
in short, M1 is far far far away
but amazing for a Phone and/or Tablet
Whilst it's positive news, the 1050 ti is a budget card from over 5 years ago. Hardly a great comparison. Apple will need to do much better when it comes to accommodating for 3D professionals using Redshift and Octane, although that is a very small percentage.
It's not hyperbole to say that Apple Silicon can upend the entire CPU/GPU industry. If they can do this with an entry-level chip, who knows how far they can can go with a high-end chip? How are the likes of Intel and AMD going to respond to keep their customers happy?
For an iGPU that is fantastic, the M1 is the base model CPU w/ an iGPU from Apple. What will be interesting is to see if Apple will simply expand the capability of their high end chip or if they will also develop a dedicated GPU to pair with their high-end chips.
The other aspect Apple needs to prove they can develop is things like ray tracing and other eye candy.
Honestly, it is actually very impressive what Apple has produced for anyone who is paying attention to details.
and now people playing iOS games in Apple arcade can enjoy the GPUs.
instead of personal attacking me you can give your opinions on hardware results
Sure it doesn't compare well with the latest, most expensive GPUs. Still pretty impressive for a low end mobile Mac chip – very eager to see what they plan for higher priced models. Keep in mind these machines are not designed to be gaming PCs but optimized to handle everyday tasks for as long as possible on a single battery charge.
I remember some rumors about Apple at least considering to move also into the lucrative gaming market. I've been skeptical back then. But if they manage to scale this up in a new gaming-specific device (Apple TV Arcade), where power draw basically doesn't matter since it's always connected, this suddenly feels much more realistic.
Also if they put the same money on the table to get AAA games exclusive as they do for TV+ and stick to that strategy, this could become another nice business pillar for them long-term.

Absolutely! And that's why consumers contemplating the purchase of a new Acura TLX need to do so within the performance context of a BMW M8 or Porsche Turbo S.
I'm continued to be excited for those of who are getting an Apple Silicon Mac this week and can't wait to hear your feedback. I'm even more excited about the future of the silicon which Apple will put in the 16" MBP and 27" iMac.
If (and it's a reasonably big 'if') the M1 can sustain performance at 1050ti levels, then that's potentially pretty exciting news for gamers.
That's a level where you can play just about any modern game at low or medium settings and resolution. It's not going to impress compared to a 3090, but for game publishers it means that the Mac market for AAA titles suddenly grows from iMac and 15/16 inch MacBook owners to every single owner of a new Mac.
I hope this will represent a tipping point where AAA game publishers might actually return to the Mac over the coming years for their biggest titles.

These models only replace the Intel model which only had 2 ports as well. They still sell the 4 port versions. My guess is next Spring we will see the 4 port versions replaced with a chip that has enough PCIe lanes to support it.
I feel like the M1 performance so far seems incredibly impressive, but it also shows how little effort Apple was putting into Macs for the last few years.
It’ll definitely be interesting to see what the more powerful chips with better graphics can do though.
