FAQ

Can the 8 GB MacBook Air M2 run Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous?

Yes. With 8 GB we estimate 61 FPS at 1080p High.

Can Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous hit 60 FPS on the MacBook Air M2?

Yes: at 1080p High it runs around 61 FPS.

Does the MacBook Air M2 throttle in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous?

The MacBook Air M2 has no fan. In long sessions it lowers clocks to manage heat, and our figures already account for that sustained loss, around 5% in a game this demanding.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On High, the MacBook Air M2 gets about 38 FPS at 1440p and about 20 FPS at 4K in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. 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. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has no MetalFX on Mac. Ray tracing, where a game offers it, costs a lot of FPS on any Mac.

Is Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous native on Apple Silicon?

Not quite: it has an official macOS version, but built for Intel. On Apple Silicon it runs through Rosetta 2, built into macOS, with nothing else to install. Our figures already include that overhead.
