I’m happy to report that the M5 Max #MacBook Pro with 40 GPU cores runs #Cyberpunk at max Raytracing settings at a solid 45 fps and looks fantastic (on battery, will retest on power, although I don't expect it to make a difference).

Edit: This seems to have been impacted by post-setup slow-down and the fact that it throttles slightly when on battery. Re-running this on battery now gives 69 fps and on power 77 fps (see thread below).

Edit 2: I see now what happened. 2nd run had frame gen on!

@finestructure I was looking at this for a potential replacement for my M1 Max MBP, but ouch, the price of it hurts my soul 🥲 is it the 14” or 16”?

@ulrikdamm It's a 14”, and yes, the price is steep… I'm replacing a M1 Max as well. I'm surprised how long the M1 has lasted and honestly it doesn't feel one bit slow.

Used to be that when you upgraded Macs you felt a significant improvement just in how the OS handled (windows, app launches, etc).

There's perhaps a tiny bit of that but the real oomph is in Xcode and other work, like Cyberpunk 😅

@finestructure I'm also still very happy with how well the M1 Max is holding up, though I'd give a lot to speed up Unity in any way 😅 and just having enough GPU power to never worry about it is very enticing.
Would also want the 14", slightly concerned about throttling/fan noise.

@ulrikdamm I actually find the fans on the M-line quite unobtrusive. Certainly a lot quieter than my gaming PC-laptop 😅

Let me know if you want me to test something for you!

@finestructure Yea love the quiet fans on my current, I was afraid with higher wattage that it has gotten worse on newer models.

When we open our game for playtesting again I'll throw you an alpha key to see how well it's running :)
