So the brand new macbook pro 14 inch and 16 inch with those new m1 pro
and m1 max chipsets inside it however how powerful is those graphics cards or those gpus
inside those chipsets compared to the likes of say the rtx 3050 and the 3050 ti
and let's say even the 3080 let's see today how powerful they are with demoing a couple of games.
Hi guys it's Matt here, so that's right today i have a macbook pro 14 inch with an m1 pro chipset
inside it it's the one with the 10 core chipsets as the two efficiency cores and eight performance
core and it's also got a 16 core gpu and there's also 16 gigabytes of ram inside this machine
and i want to do a comparison of native mac os games so these are games that have been built
from the ground up to work with the kind of m1 type of chipsets or they work when using rosetta 2
with kind of converting x86 kind of games into working with m1 chipsets and that's what rosetta
2 is all about is converting apps and games to do that what this video is not going to be doing
is comparing kind of games like gta 5 or let's say red dead redemption 2 or horizon zero dawn
running on crossover or parallels and i will be making a video for that though in the future so
make sure you subscribe to this channel and hit that notification bell but what i will be doing
today is comparing about three games compared to the likes of say a game on a windows machine
what's with a rtx 3050 or a 3050 ti or even a 3080 inside it and comparing it to the chipset
what's inside this macbook pro well without further ado let's begin so first of all guys i
quickly want to show you is about this mac that i'm on so like i said this is the 14 inch
macbook pro with an m1 pro inside it now this is the standard m1 pro chipset so this is the one
with the 10 cores so this is the two efficiency cores and eight performance cores and for gpu wise
it has the 16 core gpu it's not the 14 and the cpu is not the eight core it's not the lowest spec one
it is the standard cause you get from an m1 pro chipset and so like i said there's 16 gigabytes
of ram as well inside this so this is what we're going to demo around with so the games i'm going
to show you today i'm going to do a quick demo of um counter strike global offensive and i'm also
going to quickly show you uh rocket league as well and just to quickly show you guys here what i'm
also going to do is go into my preferences here what i've done is for in-game i have turned on
the frames per second counter and it'll be in the top left-hand corner and it's also got the high
contrast color so i think it'll come up like in green or something for when i'm actually demoing
the games so that is that so let's close that down the other game i will be demoing today will be the
one and only and controversial fortnight on a mac so you might have heard a lot of things in
the news about um epic games versus apple but you can still play uh fortnite at the moment on a um
m1 or m1 pro or m1 max macbook pro and that's what i'm going to be doing today but this is
a really good demo again to show you guys that like things like grand theft auto 5 and star wars
battlefront 2 it's just not compatible at least not compatible natively on an m1 an m1 pro and m1
max chipset you can do it with crossover and the likes of say parallels for example and i will be
doing a video in the future to show that but today like i've said already i just want to demo to you
games that are natively been built to work on the mac whether this has been completely converted
onto the kind of arm 64 chipset what that the m1 chipsets run on or it's either using the rosetta
2 to convert an x86 game into an arm 64 kind of game as it were to make it work correctly
and that's what i'll be doing wearing so let's go back to steam and the first one i'm going to
try out is going to be counter-strike so let's give that a go first of all
so we are inside the game here and i want to just quickly go to settings and just to show you here
the resolution i've set this at so i've set it at uh 1 920 by 1 200 and the main reason is this is
the closest i can get basically to a 1080p uh sort of resolution on this macbook pro for this demo
also all the textures and everything like that have also been set to auto high as well but let's
get started with loading up a game now i'm going to admit i'm not very good at this game especially
i'm using my touchpad as well but you can see the frames per second in the top left-hand corner here
but you can see it's sort of lowering kind of around about sort of 60 frames per setting on
this resolution also on those sort of auto high sort of settings and you know i'm just going to
move around and see if we can find somebody else just to see if we can see what happens with the
frames per second someone there it sort of does it like i said it's sort of high 60 frames per second
there's something else here oh i think you might get me actually let's just try again quickly
like i said oh yeah we go see terrible like i said with a touchpad it's not the best but you can see
let's now do a comparison now to a 3080 and as you can see straight away the frames per second
are far far higher this actually isn't my own um computer myself uh this is some borrowed
footage but you can see the difference here we are way up higher in the frames per second
let's move on then to the next game so just quickly before we move on to the next game
this channel is doing a giveaway and it is for this it is for an iphone 13 pro max in sierra blue
and it's 128 gigabyte model and i'm going to be giving this away to one lucky subscriber when we
get over 300 000 subscribers that's not that far away and all i want to know in the comments below
is what apple gear or what technology gear are you planning to buy within the next year or so
write it down in the comments below and when we get over 300 000 subscribers and only when we get
over 300 000 subscribers i'll be announcing who the winner is so make sure you subscribe to this
channel and hit that notification bell because you want to get that notification of that video when
we get over that amount but i just quickly also want to say us that there is a couple of scammers
and spammers out there who say that you've won a prize and to what's at them this is not me at
all and ignore these messages completely like i said i will only be announcing who the winner is
via a video when we get over 300 000 subscribers and it won't be any time before so do ignore or
report those scammers well guys let's get back to the macbook pro and demouring a few more games
so the next game is actually rocket league and as you can see everything here is on
high quality i've had to change the resolution again this time let's change it to 1400 by 440
by 900 that's the resolution that we have here so i'm going to play it on this resolution this time
and also unlocked also the frames per second to be on maximum so let's see how this game performs
so as we can see here we're getting some good frames per seconds we're in the higher range
we're about 60 frames per second and we're getting some good ones there we're getting cross over into
the odd 100 as well just scored there but you can see that probably actually sort of the replay here
that would be a much more higher frames per second as you can see there's a lot wider out but here we
go back into the main game the actual game itself the other frames per second definitely i'm in the
highest sort of range we're getting kind of 80 sort of sort of number what if i just killed i
thought i scored the game then i didn't but yeah you're getting a high sort of um sort of number
there and uh yeah this is quite good let's now do another comparison to a 30 80 and you can see
straight away the average little frames like i'm in the high 500s here and actually kind of the
real time is in the 600s here for some of it as well so it's absolutely crazy the amount of frames
per second you can get with a windows machine and actually running this game instead so the final
game to try out is fortnite so with fortnite i put everything onto sort of an epic mode and also i'm
going to change my frames per second to unlimited as you can see here and the resolution is at 1920
by 1200 so yeah this should be pretty cool with these epic settings to give us a go
so the frame per seconds are in the middle right right next to the map there and as you can see
it's only any kind of kind of high 40s here there's someone here getting into the truck
i think let's see if we can get them but you can see it's not doing the best on epic mode i know
we could probably get much better on a dedicated graphics i'm gonna get run over here and killed
uh definitely but you can see just a demo there we go 68 that was terrible but yeah it's not being
the best sort of frames per second but at least you get a good sight of what an m1 pro can do
but with a 3050 ti you can see here in this epic mode you're going to get about 60 70 frames per
second instead compared to the sort of high 40s we were getting so we can see that the m1 pro inside
this macbook pro 14-inch is quite a beast and it is quite powerful and one thing we've also got to
remember is that this machine was never designed to be a gaming machine so in the sense of what
you'd buy like a 30 80 chipset for you know and compare you know pair that up with another kind
of like an amd ryzen or an intel chipset it's not designed for that reason this is designed for
creators only and that's what apple had intended now i know at the apple event at the unleashed
event they did compare it to other kind of windows machines out there but i believe they were
comparing it from a creator's point of view they were not comparing it from a gaming point of view
yes there are games and as you can see here in the selections of games i showed you they're not
the best games in the world and i'm sure like you said you want to see gta 5 red dead redemption 2
horizon zero dawn and the list can go on and none of those games are compatible with a macbook pro
natively we're gonna have to use rosetta um with parallels and crossover we can't actually get it
to work natively to work on this machine straight up through mac os so yeah we're gonna have to put
something in the middle for that but as you can see the frames per second were reasonably okay
on this machine but as you can definitely tell something like the 30 50 or even the 30 80 is more
designed for a more gaming experience but it was a good comparison just to see what this machine is
for personally if you're going to buy this as a gaming machine i wouldn't bother personally
just don't do it buy yourself a gaming laptop it will be far more worth it to do it that way
if you want to do that however if you're going to be a creator want to play the odd game on
the side definitely this machine is probably more worth it for you well guys it's also time to wrap
