Performance with MetalFX
MetalFX renders Lies of P at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image: you gain FPS for a little sharpness. Figures on High with 8 GB.
| Resolution | Native | Quality | Balanced | Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 40FPS | 49FPS | 59FPS | 67FPS |
| 1440p | 25FPS | 31FPS | 37FPS | 42FPS |
| 4K | 13FPS | 16FPS | 19FPS | 22FPS |
All figures are without ray tracing. The real MetalFX gain varies by game and version.

FAQ
Can the 8 GB MacBook Neo run Lies of P?
Yes. With 8 GB we estimate 40 FPS at 1080p High.
Can Lies of P hit 60 FPS on the MacBook Neo?
Yes: at 1080p Low + MetalFX Quality it runs around 68 FPS.
Does the MacBook Neo throttle in Lies of P?
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 15% in a game this demanding.
What about 1440p and 4K?
On High, the MacBook Neo gets about 25 FPS at 1440p and about 13 FPS at 4K in Lies of P. These are native figures: MetalFX raises both noticeably.
Do these figures include MetalFX or ray tracing?
No. The headline figure is native resolution, no MetalFX and no ray tracing. The table below shows MetalFX turned on. Ray tracing, where a game offers it, costs a lot of FPS on any Mac.
