FAQ

Can the 24 GB MacBook Pro M5 Pro run Shadow of the Tomb Raider?

Yes. With 24 GB we estimate 115 FPS at 1080p High.

Can Shadow of the Tomb Raider hit 60 FPS on the MacBook Pro M5 Pro?

Yes: at 1440p Ultra it runs around 64 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On High, the MacBook Pro M5 Pro gets about 77 FPS at 1440p and about 40 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.
