≈ 33 FPS
Moving to 1440p High puts the MacBook Pro M2 at about 23 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 Village 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 | 37FPS | 46FPS | 56FPS | 63FPS |
| 1440p | 23FPS | 29FPS | 35FPS | 40FPS |
| 4K | 12FPS | 15FPS | 18FPS | 20FPS |
All figures are without ray tracing. The real MetalFX gain varies by game and version.
