Journalist at the Digital Trends portal tested new MacBook Air with Apple M3 chip in video games. It turned out that the laptop copes well with this task, despite the lack of an active cooling system.
Thus, Baldur’s Gate 3 runs acceptably on a MacBook Air with a 10-core M3 chip, with low graphics settings, average quality models and textures, a resolution of 1710×1068. In this mode, Baldur’s Gate shows about 40 frames in 3 seconds, and by activating FSR (AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution), it was possible to increase the frame rate to 50 FPS, practically without sacrificing image quality.
The MacBook Air also launched macOS versions of Death Stranding and Resident Evil 4 Remake. Both games were running with high graphics settings. Thus, Death Stranding showed 45-50 FPS, while Resident Evil 4 Remake showed about 45 frames per second at 1600p resolution and slightly reduced graphics settings.
