FAQ

Can the 64 GB Mac Pro M2 Ultra run Rise of the Tomb Raider?

Yes. With 64 GB we estimate 157 FPS at 1080p High.

Can Rise of the Tomb Raider hit 60 FPS on the Mac Pro M2 Ultra?

Yes: at 1440p Ultra it runs around 133 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On High, the Mac Pro M2 Ultra gets about 144 FPS at 1440p and about 94 FPS at 4K in Rise of the Tomb Raider. 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. Rise of the Tomb Raider has no MetalFX on Mac. Ray tracing, where a game offers it, costs a lot of FPS on any Mac.

Is Rise of the Tomb Raider native on Apple Silicon?

Not quite: it has an official macOS version ported by Feral Interactive, 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.
