hey guys this is Vadim with max tech and this right here is Apple's brand-new 16
inch MacBook Pro it's actually fully Specht out with a 2.4 gigahertz 8 quart
i 9 processor 32 gigabytes of ram and the highest end 5500 m 8 gigabyte
graphics card and in this video we're going to be testing gaming performance
playing Call of Duty's all new modern warfare and we're also going to be
testing out a couple of benchmarks Unigine Heaven and 3d marks time spy and
we're going to compare this model to the base 5300 M 4 gigabyte graphics to see
if it's actually worth spending the extra cash the extra 200 dollars to get
the fully specked out graphics for gaming now I want to remind you guys
that these graphics cards just got the very first drivers for Windows 10 using
boot camp so they might have some glitches or some performance issues and
performance should generally improve over time so let's get right into it and
see how much FPS we can get on the 16 inch macbook pro alright guys so here I
am in boot camp on the fully spec doubt 16 inch MacBook Pro with the 2.4
gigahertz eye 9 8 core CPU and the best graphics with 8 gigabytes of video
memory so let's get right into college ooty modern warfare
so first things first I've got to fix these textures because I think it's a
driver issue so right this is weird I'm gonna I'm gonna switch the settings
right now see I'm gonna turn down the texture resolution a little bit because
I'm not sure what's going on here textures are still screwed up but fps is
better you definitely don't need this much fps
whoa what is going on so 150 FPS still still looking good oh I'm gonna go into
the options I'm going to set the render resolution to 75 now let's see what that
does 75 that's 1440p looks like now we're
honestly averaging around 50 60 FPS so the fans are definitely really loud but
luckily the speakers are also really good and really loud as well or of
course you can wear headphones while playing on the MacBook Pro definitely
seeing around 70 FPS with these settings which is actually that's like the sweet
spot you want to be a little bit higher so that when it dips down it goes down
to 60 and not much lower than that so the only issue is that we're still
experiencing these weird glitched graphics graphics I'm gonna turn down
the texture resolution down to low that's all off let me turn off these
cache spot shadows let me see if that actually helps I'll turn the resolution
back to normal and see how that plays alright so those shadows are now off
still getting about 75 70 FPS to be honest I think these are the best
settings right here I'll show you guys in just a minute it's working incredibly
well so far so I still don't know what's up with these textures they're really
really messed up luckily the FPS is fine but the textures
are just screwed up right now really screwed up and look at that the FPS is
still good at around 70 sometimes it dips down to 60 which is fine
any lower than that you don't really want almost got him in the face so what
they screwed up textures when we get new drivers out it's definitely gonna
improve so that's gonna go away and the FPS is actually gonna get better as well
so that's really nice that we're getting this much FPS around 70 so far yeah I
get him in the face oh he's up there right so real quick let me show you guys
those settings again we're at 2304 by 1440 that's 75% render resolution going
down where our normal textures low on those all the shadows are either
disabled or low and right now we're getting really good framerate around 70
FPS with dips going down to 60 so I'd say this is pretty good
got so close almost had you bro Oh got
him so I'd say buying a 16 inch MacBook Pro
and being able to play some games on the side definitely pretty nice you know
buying it for a Productivity kind of stuff so far I'm extremely impressed
because you usually don't play at 1440p on a laptop and we were able to play at
that resolution at around 70 FPS average and that's with brand new drivers that
are definitely having issues as you guys saw with all those graphics glitches and
everything else now we did actually play with the base $2,400 16 inch macbook pro
that's packing the 5300 M 4 gigabyte graphics now before I tell you how that
performed let me quickly go through a couple of the benchmarks that we ran and
show you the differences between the two now in Unigine heavens' xtreme preset
there actually wasn't that much of a performance boost going to the more
expensive graphics and interestingly there actually wasn't a big difference
between Windows and Mac OS for that test so that could mean that the drivers are
still underperforming and windows or that can mean that Mac OS is actually
catching up with gaming performance we're not exactly sure we'll see how
that newer drivers perform after this now we also tested 3d marks times by
benchmark and to our surprise the base model actually scored higher than the
higher-end model which doesn't really make any sense we're not sure why this
happened maybe it's driver issues or something like that but in modern
warfare the base model actually performed exactly the same as the
higher-end model we got around 70 FPS average on both of these machines at
1440p and it's interesting that the VRAM usage on both of these machines was
under three gigabytes so right now it looks like you don't need the extra four
gigabytes with the highest-end 5500 M eight gigabyte model in seeing how both
of these machines actually got the same fps right now it does not make sense to
spend the extra hundred or the extra two hundred dollars on the better graphics
card so if you're planning on doing some gaming the base graphics will actually
be fine for you right now because getting 75 FPS at 1440p is actually
really really nice so hopefully you guys enjoyed this video if you did definitely
click that circle above to subscribe because we've got some more videos on
the 16 inch macbook pro coming up very soon and if you want to check out some
more of those videos we've got some right over there
thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next video
