Baldur's Gate 3 on macOS Sonoma Game Mode: Mac Studio M2 Max Performance Benchmarks

Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 3 finally brings the full release of the game to Mac, and macOS Sonoma just came out with a new feature called Game Mode. How well does the game run on the base model Mac Studio with the M2 Max chip, and can we reach 120 fps for a smooth gaming experience? Let's find out!

This is one of the best types of content on YouTube...no nonsense and straight to the point. Excellent video, and thanks for the information!

Every tech video should be like this. All killer, no filler. Thank you

I am running it at 1440p with M2 Max 38 gpu cores, at - high settings - fsr quality and I get 110fps max and 50-60fps low.
I see 15-20fps drop sometimes at some very close up conversations of the game. Is this happening to you all?

Nice video btw, to the point. 🎉

Please do the same tests in the game Resident Evil Village?

Seeing that Apple has just come into the market of gaming. Performance on Apple chips Mac seems good from previous Mac perspective.

Strange, my MBP 16 with M1 Max 32-core GPU shows more performance

120fps for a smooth gaming experience? I don't remember anyone saying that before. 60fps is good enough.
