Moving to 1440p High puts the Mac mini M6 at about 53 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 4 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image: you gain FPS for a little sharpness. Figures on High with 16 GB.
| Resolution | Native | Quality | Balanced | Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 83FPS | 99FPS | 113FPS | 122FPS |
| 1440p | 53FPS | 65FPS | 78FPS | 87FPS |
| 4K | 27FPS | 34FPS | 41FPS | 46FPS |
All figures are without ray tracing. The real MetalFX gain varies by game and version.
