    Completely worth every penny

    I have a M1 Pro and it plays decently on medium settings compared to my desktop.

      It runs alright on my 2021 M1, but I play it via GeForce Now these days, where it really screams.

        I want to signal boost that GeForce now option! It looks gorgeous at everything ultra, although it’s not really necessary for the game to make an impression. But it is nice to look at via GFN ✨

        But I realize that we probably shouldn’t lean too heavily on that option, lest we discourage devs from actually making native Mac ports…

      I’m surprised you’re only at medium settings, my M2 Pro is handling 1440p at mostly maxed settings (disabled DOF as it’s too aggressive and only double buffered vsync. I don’t have an FOS readout but it’s pretty good compared to before with Crossover and medium settings.

      Edit: followed the terminal command to show the Metal info and BG3 floats around 45-50fps ingame. Haven’t gone back to Act 3 yet so still not sure how it’d handle it. The FPS is stable enough that as a turn based RPG it’s quite playable.
