30 Minutes of Resident Evil Village on MacBook Air M2 at 1440p with Performance HUD on ?♀️
As the title says, this is 30 minutes of Resident Evil Village gameplay captured at 1440p on my MacBook Air with M2, a 10-core GPU, and 16 GB of memory. With MetalFX Upscaling turned on, the game plays great (given the hardware), with frame rates between 35 and 60. The average frame rate is around 50. ? By gaming laptop standards, that isn't all that impressive of course; but, considering the MacBook Air has no fans, uses integrated graphics, and is only 0.4" thick, I think that is quite impressive. Not to mention, this gameplay was recorded while on battery power. ? There is some thermal throttling, but it has been minor in my experience. I own a MacBook Air for work, not for gaming, but it's exciting to see the gaming potential in Apple's SOC. If only Apple would invest more into it, maybe incentivize some game studios to start developing for Mac, and get some AAA titles into Apple Arcade. Who knows, Apple might be competing with Xbox's GamePass in another 10 years, ha. ?
