Moving to 1440p High puts the MacBook Pro M5 Pro at about 91 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 Resident Evil 2 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image: you gain FPS for a little sharpness. Figures on High with 24 GB.
