Great content Andrew. I think it would be great if you put a segment where you test the top 5 most played steam games using gptk 2.0 for different MacBooks. I am really looking forward to this version of gptk 2.0 running those games for different hardware. Especially CS2.
I would love to see older games running on gptk 2, like Call of Duty 4, Mirrors Edge, FEAR, Warcraft III, Sonic Generations, perhaps Sonic Heroes! Not everyone is going to play the newest titles and also, that promotion 120hx display may be better suited for older games where the framerate is reachable
Testing the 8/14 M1 Pro MacBook Pro and M3 MacBook Air (with initial and sustained performance numbers) would be appreciated. If you're going to test with the M3 Max, test it at the highest resolution and graphical settings in the game. It's not like that's going to affect the performance that much either, the main bottleneck is always the single-threaded performance of the CPU, and the GPU utilization will only be as high as the ST performance allows it to be. You might as well give the under-utilized GPU more work.
Great news for Mac + Parallel users. MS just released Windows 11 Insider Preview Canary on 11/3/24 that supports AVX instruction set. I tested Returnal on Win 11 under M1 Parallels, only gave it 4 cores/16gb. Frame rate is a bit low but runs without any error. Maybe more CPU & rams will do it.
Great video !! how did u get Street fighter 6 demo to work ?? i tried downloading windows Steam version through Whiskey and a lot of games works fine but Street fighter 6 demo would no work past the Capcom logo ? any work around Andrew would be appreciated. btw i have the M1 Pro
@@leonheartzx I got it to work using crossover if u wanna try that route but I only did the trial version so if you wanna play for a long time u might need to buy crossover
going on vacation soon which is my prime Mac gaming time glad to see all these games are coming but I hope my poor M1 24core max will be able to run them lol
ive been playing acc since I bought my M1 Pro Mac with GPTK. It's been running great with little to none fps loss although the Mac tends to get a bit hot from time to time.
How does the toolkit work? Like, when it officially releases and i want to play games will I need to use the toolkit to make the games work or the developers of the game will do that???
You will need to use the toolkit. What it's doing, at a really high level, is it's translating Windows "instructions" into Apple ones. (There's a bunch of graphics bullshit that happens too, but w.e.)
I had a 2012 Mac min and now a m2 Mac mini, but thru the immense amount of useful info on this channel, I've been buying external drives just to keep up 🤣 I did not even install steam post Catalina because of the lack of 32-bit support, and I am a console gamer, and never even bought a game on windows, until I started following Andrew and started buying Windows games for a Mac. I kind of believe that the interaction between Andy / code weavers / apple, other developers including OCLP, and retro game channels / community supporting this, has made this possible and it is the reason apple is modifying and evolving its GPTK and metal API. Thanks Andrew!
How did you run Watch Dogs Legion and Red Dead Redemption? I cannot run them at all using Crossover and GPTK2. I have Steam version of WDL and Rockstar version os RDR2, I cannot run Gears 5 at all, Steam version ( saw you playing it in this video)
Hi, Andrew. Can you update the Cyberpunk tutorial for MacOs? I mean, from installing to using with the FPS patch. I kinda need it! Youre the guy for it! Hope you can do it! Thanks
If you have money for M3Max you also have money to buy windows gaming pc (or laptop). I wonder how's the performance on older, lower tier soc, like M1pro and M2pro.
GeForce Now is a cloud service. It really a fair comparison to crossover and emulators. If your internet connection is fast/stable enough. It going to be better than crossover or emulator since the games are running on server hardware, and not local Mac hardware.
While I love your testing videos, I think it’s fair to say most people are not going to have the max versions of these chips. It would be very helpful if you could test these games on base model M chips.
Hey Andrew, thanks for sharing. Enjoy your videos. Just please try to make the FPS counter Larger, it is so hard to see the fps, every time I do it have to stop the video, and check the fps. I am mostly using a mobile phone while watching youtube. Would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
When you say you’re not sure if the FPS counter is correct, do you mean because it’s exceeding the display, or did it just look stuttery? You mentioned it for the ones that were 200+.

Hello Guys, I need help. I have Macbook Air with M2 chip, I am using Crossover 24.03 with CXPatcher applied.

According to new patch notes. Does this mean 'Ghost of Tsushima' can be run on Crossover? Release notes v1053.3.0612.1334 Updated PlayStation PC SDK to version 2.5 with support for processors that lack AVX2 instructions.
that last statement, well because for 1. the toolkit is nowhere near native like performances. so we are leaving alot of performances on the floor. i notice you arent playing at 4k or 1440p for example. we are losing 25 to 30% of performance just on the cpu alone with the translation for example
Not been able to get this to work yet it errors out the version of wine there using in crossover has not been patched yet needs to be 9.2 or above then it might work
Hi Andrew, thanks for the continuing excellent information! Have you found any VM fusion or other technique successful for Helldivers 2 on Mac? I can’t get it to launch with the anti cheat. I know boosteroid and similar services are possible but I don’t want to stream the game. Would really appreciate it if you found a way to make Helldivers run on Mac!
@@Andytizer It would be nice to know if stuff like MS Flight Simulator, F1, Starfield would even work on Apple Silicon? So much emphasis these days are just on the shoot'em up games that it seems like there is little to no chance of ever seeing anything beyond even a consideration.

What about testing games on some lower end chip like base M1 or M2. Not everyone has $2500 machine

True, but you will be hardly disappointed. Those basic chips don't have enough GPU power.
