On High, the MacBook Pro M3 Max gets about 131 FPS at 1440p and about 73 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.

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.
