is MetalFX FI better about making up frames even though the base framerate is under 30?
Got a tip for us?

Hmm. To Andrew the game looks good at those settings.
I can see Digital Foundry going there in an M5 deep dive - or maybe they’ll wait for the Pro and Max chips ?

Does the M5 MacBook Pro use Adaptive Sync for higher-refresh third-party monitors (for example going over 60 fps on a 100Hz monitor)?
Yep.
Use Adaptive Sync with your Mac
When you’re playing a game on Mac, use Adaptive Sync to help your display render the content correctly by dynamically adjusting the refresh rate.
Same for the M5 iPad Pro.
Andrew Tsai strikes again:
Mo memory, mo better - most games don't exceed 16GB RAM usage, some do

Yeah, he shows the most extreme test - CP2077 at Ultra settings w/o any upscaling - using 22GB.

Well, for what it's worth, I've extensively tested the M5 in Genshin in the meantime and found that the main issue is no longer throttling, it's the game engine itself and simply not enough power in the SOC to provide a sustained 120.
Just made a post about it here:
But in short, 120 FPS won't be doable in Genshin at really high settings for a very long time to come. Thermals are now less of a problem than they ever were before, since even with 0 throttling the GPU frame times hit 20-30 in super heavy combat (the engine simply wants too much to be done at once with that many frames and at that res and the chip cannot do it on time).
A short ad video for selling Parallels subscriptions. It can't run DX12 games so who pays that much to play the old games in the video? You can use VMware Fusion for free for old DX9 games.
He's probably stuck for content.
There aren't a ton of native macOS Metal games. Running Windows on a Mac is kind of against everything most of us are doing.
Windows games on CodeWeavers' Crossover:
I would like to see these tested on a 32GB M5 MacBook Pro, just to see if VRAM is a factor.
