New MacBook Pro with m2 chip

you won’t be disappointed. i literally run max settings in dragonflight and get up to 120 fps in many locations, but most demanding areas that are heavy on cpu will be smooth 60 everywhere with only two tweaks, compute turned off and render scale set to 50 with FSR doing ai upscaling so i still get a crisp output at native resolution.

My big tip though is get software called Macs Fan Control, set fan control based on gpu temp and let yourself see gpu temp in menu bar. The default can curve from apple is bad, and it’ll let cpu actually hit 100C and throttle (for literally no reason) when automatic control by this software can actually keep that from ever happening with the built in fans without issue, apple just has a bad fan curve, not bad hardware here and it’s fortunate we can fix that with a pretty cheap program
