FAQ
Can the 36 GB Mac Studio M4 Max run Shadow of the Tomb Raider?
Yes. With 36 GB we estimate 142 FPS at 1080p High.
Can Shadow of the Tomb Raider hit 60 FPS on the Mac Studio M4 Max?
Yes: at 1440p Ultra it runs around 92 FPS.
What about 1440p and 4K?
On High, the Mac Studio M4 Max gets about 107 FPS at 1440p and about 58 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.
