Ok, so I get Mac gaming isn’t the best, but I was looking at benchmark scores and they do really well. So like a 5070 ti (mobile) gets about 1800 in steel nomad, a M4 Max 32 core gets about 3000. But in actual games it’s nowhere near a 5070 ti, even in Mac arm native games.
So is it just a really crappy software design or bad supporting development or something? It seems like the hardware is more than capable.


Gaming on Mac has been an issue from the very start.
My suspicion is, it’s the constraints Apple imposes on software development.
Back in the day, they had this human interface style guide with everything developers had to adhere to if they wanted to make Mac software.
