FAQ
Can the 8 GB MacBook Neo run GRID Legends?
Yes. With 8 GB we estimate 39 FPS at 1080p High.
Can GRID Legends hit 60 FPS on the MacBook Neo?
Not consistently. For 30 FPS, use 1440p Low (about 34 FPS).
Does the MacBook Neo throttle in GRID Legends?
The MacBook Neo has no fan. In long sessions it lowers clocks to manage heat, and our figures already account for that sustained loss, around 10% in a game this demanding.
What about 1440p and 4K?
On High, the MacBook Neo gets about 24 FPS at 1440p and about 12 FPS at 4K in GRID Legends. These are native figures.
Do these figures include MetalFX or ray tracing?
No. The headline figure is native resolution, no MetalFX and no ray tracing. GRID Legends has no MetalFX on Mac. Ray tracing, where a game offers it, costs a lot of FPS on any Mac.
Is GRID Legends native on Apple Silicon?
Yes, it has a native Apple Silicon version ported by Feral Interactive, available on Mac App Store. No CrossOver, Parallels or Game Porting Toolkit needed.
