FAQ

Can the 16 GB Mac mini M6 run Shadow of the Tomb Raider?

Yes. With 16 GB we estimate 96 FPS at 1080p High.

Can Shadow of the Tomb Raider hit 60 FPS on the Mac mini M6?

Yes: at 1440p High it runs around 61 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On High, the Mac mini M6 gets about 61 FPS at 1440p and about 32 FPS at 4K in Shadow 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. Shadow 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 Shadow 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.
