About 22 FPS at 1080p on High: Cyberpunk 2077 runs natively on the MacBook Pro M1 Pro (Apple M1 Pro, 14-core GPU, 16 GB). That is on the edge, but it is playable with lower settings. For 30 FPS, use 1080p Low (about 31 FPS).

Recommended settings
For 60 FPS
Not reached even on Low at 1080p, nor with MetalFX.
For 30 FPS
1080p · Low
≈ 31 FPS
Moving to 1440p High puts the MacBook Pro M1 Pro at about 14 FPS. MetalFX renders at a lower resolution and upscales, so it is the cheapest way to play at the display’s native resolution.
Performance with MetalFX
MetalFX renders Cyberpunk 2077 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image: you gain FPS for a little sharpness. Figures on High with 16 GB.
| Resolution | Native | Quality | Balanced | Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 22FPS | 27FPS | 33FPS | 38FPS |
| 1440p | 14FPS | 17FPS | 21FPS | 23FPS |
| 4K | 7FPS | 9FPS | 11FPS | 12FPS |
All figures are without ray tracing. The real MetalFX gain varies by game and version.
