Insane Gaming Performance: Max Out Multiplayer Games – Watch Now!

Hey everyone this is andrew ty and welcome to my youtube channel today i’m going to show you 10 online multiplayer games that you can play on the brand new m1 max chip so all the games i’m going to show you today have been recorded from my 16 inch

Macbook pro equipped with the m1 max chip with 10 cpu cores 32 gigabytes of ram and 32 gpu calls this is the highest number of gpu calls that you can buy and this is the second most powerful apple silicon mac you can get the only macbook more powerful is the variant with 64

Gigabytes of ram so first up is league of legends i’m recording this at 1440p and running this game at the medium settings preset i’m choosing these settings because i want to show that these games can run high resolution at good frame rates at good quality settings whilst also offering

Competitive frame rates as well the new macbook pros with the m1 pro and the m1 max chip also offer a pro motion display which runs at 120 hertz so any games that can run at around 120 frames per second are going to take advantage of this i’m gonna offer a more competitive

Experience speaking of competitive play i’m afraid that i’m not very good at these online games so don’t be too distracted by that please pay a bit more heed to how the game is performing rather than how bad i am at the game so when the match starts we have very high

Frame rates of 150 160 frames per second when we start getting into creeps and towers then the frame rate drops to about 110 and once we start getting into team fights the frame rate stays at around 90 to 100 frames per second depending on how many characters are

There on the screen at once so i definitely say that the m1 max can run this game very well we have the option of changing the setting too high so we get a better image quality at reduced frame rate or we could lower the graphics setting to low and we could get

A consistent 120 frames per second or above so next up is world of tanks and i’m running this again at 1440p at the high graphics quality setting so to begin with this map is loading around 45 to 55 frames per second we could easily get more frames out of this by reducing the

Quality or turning down the resolution setting to something like 1080p while i definitely say it is very playable at 1440p and the framerate really depends on the type of mode and map that you’re playing at the time so for example this miriam collection map we’re running at a

More consistent 60 frames per second so next up is the strategy game starcraft 2 which we’re playing at 1440p at medium settings so i’ve chosen medium settings again because i think it’s a good compromise in terms of visual quality and performance a starcraft 2 match can definitely start at a very

High frame rate so we’re running here at 120 frames per second but this is only the beginning of the game so this particular map that i’m playing is just a 2v2 and i’ve got a population of around 47 out of 94 units so there’s not that much happening on the screen at

Once definitely not the same as say a 4×4 game however we’re still able to run this at around 80 frames per second despite all the units on screen so if there was a lot more happening obviously the frame rate would drop but i think that medium at 1440p is still very

Playable if you were playing a big game i would drop it down to 1080p and run this at a low setting here i’m experimenting with the same resolution but at the high setting and almost it looks okay in the kind of base building portion of this game once we get into

Any kind of serious fighting then the frame rate tanks down to about 33 frames per second so definitely consider knowing the settings and on to maintain a more stable frame rate so next up is dota 2 and i’m actually able to run this game on the best

Looking preset so this is the highest image quality that you can run this game at and it’s performing at a very admirable 150 frames a second at the very beginning of a match during a 1v1 with another hero we’re getting around 80 to 90 frames per second which is

Pretty good even during a team fight the frame rate really holds up even at the highest possible quality setting going from between 65 frames per second to 90 frames per second so it actually performs very well and this is even the case during the most chaotic of team

Fights where all of these spell effects and all the characters are interacting all at the same time so next up is world of warcraft and i’m gonna do the slightly useless thing and just show you the starter zone i know that everyone wants to see a benchmark of the shadow lands expansion pack

However as you can see i used to be a big wow player and i don’t really fancy being sucked into a subscription once again and for it to take over my life just as i did many years ago but what i can say is that wow was the

Very first high-profile native arm game that could be played well on the m1 apple silicon mag here i’m running the game at 1440p at graphics quality’s preset number 10. so that’s the highest preset that you can set and i’m going to be setting an unlocked frame rate so as

You can see when we’re walking around ironforge we’re getting a frame rate of over 200 frames per second which is very high obviously if we get into an actual fight or a raid that frame rate is going to be much lower however since your screen can only display 120 hertz so any

Frames displaying over 120 frames per second are going to be wasted here on the flight path between iron forge and stormwind we’re getting a very decent frame rate of around 160 170 frames per second obviously this is not indicative of actual gameplay however it’s pretty good considering i used to

Play this on a netbook at around 10 frames per second when the game first came out so next up is rocker league now this game used to have a mac os port but that’s been deprecated and if you try to run that game you won’t be able to play

Online multiplayer with the rest of the world so therefore we’re going to be running the windows version of this game inside the windows 11 arm operating system running under the parallels virtual machine software so if you’d like to find out how to install windows 11 arm and also play windows games on

Your m1 apple silicon mac then please follow the link in the description for my video tutorial so for the best performance for the virtual machine we need to allocate half of our cpu cores on half of the ram so that’s five cpu calls and 16 gigabytes of ram in this

Situation so here we’ll be running the game at 1440p once again at the quality preset so here i’m just demonstrating a three versus three standard game and we’re running at approximately 60 frames per second dipping just under between 55 to 65 frames so what i’ve done here is

Switch the graphics preset from quality to performance and the frame rate’s still around 65-75 frames per second however the minimum frame rate is risen from about 37 frames to 44 frames per second so this should give you a more consistent frame rate in this clip i’ve changed the resolution from 1440p to

1080p and i’ve kept the performance graphics setting and as you can see the average frame rate is around 80 frames per second so it’s even higher than before so it’s really impressive that any of this is actually possible at all that’s because the mac is virtualizing

Windows 11 arm and windows 11 arm is in turn emulating the x86 64-bit rocket league game onto the arm architecture and the m1 max is able to handle all of this overhead as well as provide a playable game experience so next up is diablo 3 and we’re running

This at 1440p once again and we’re running at the default graphics setting which is mostly set to high and medium so within the hub areas the frame rate’s obviously very good because there’s not much action happening 130 120 frames per second is pretty normal in this scenario

Once we start getting into combat then the frame rate starts to dip a little bit especially when we get into these really big mob areas where we have to fight lots of enemies at once however diablo 3 is extremely well optimized and this mac os port is really handling the

Amount of enemies very well and we’re actually consistently maintaining over 110 frames per second throughout all of this fighting and all these spell animations and enemies interacting with each other all at the same time so a lot of people ask me the question is diablo 2 resurrected which is the remake of

Diablo 2 is that ever going to be made playable on the mac operating system unfortunately because diablo 2 resurrected uses directx 12 it’s not currently compatible with parallels or crossover at the moment however if it ever does become available i’ll be sure to make a video about it until then

You’ll need to continue playing diablo 3. i know that people don’t like it as much as diablo 2. however i still think it’s a great game so next up is the survival multiplayer game rust so i’m running this at 1440p at the maximum graphics quality setting which is 6. i’m

Going to be logging into this rustorio.co server which is a 200 person capacity server it’s actually running at a very good frame rate of around 70 to 85 frames per second this is especially good because i remember playing this on the m1 macbook air and the frame rate

Was really really poor there especially as i had the eight gigabyte version of the macbook air so as you might be able to tell i really have no idea what i’m doing when i’m playing rust i don’t really understand this game very much at all my character is currently sitting naked riding a

Horse and i’m just getting picked off by random players in the game what is interesting about this game as well is the way that the graphics scale so if i set the graphics quality to zero the frame rate doesn’t really increase so there’s a bottleneck somewhere in the

Game which is preventing more frames to be generated unfortunately i didn’t really get to test much more in order to see more of the game i’d have to really learn how the crafting and the systems all work together and i haven’t been able to do that yet so next up is

Minecraft so i’m pretty new to minecraft however it has been fun learning about how to mod the game and how to get more optimization out of it so here i’m running the intel version of the game and i’m also using the optifine mod for improved performance here i’ve generated

A simple world and we’re running between 270 and 320 frames per second which is very fast so what’s interesting about minecraft is that we can vastly improve performance if we use a native version of java so i’m going to leave a link in the description for my video tutorial on

How to do this so i’ve just loaded up the same world but in native arm java and we’re reaching almost 600 frames per second consistently so if we put these two views side by side we can see that the native version of minecraft is running roughly twice as fast as the

Intel rosetta 2 version and so we can definitely see that if games are optimized for the m1 chip they can definitely run faster and better than their intel counterparts so i’ve been learning more and more about how to get minecraft running properly on the m1 apple silicon mac for example here we’ve

Got shaders working i’d like to be able to work on improved performance as well if you’d like to see more in-depth videos about minecraft running on the m1 apple silicon mac then please leave a comment below so the last game i’ll be covering today is final fantasy 14 and this was

Requested by a lot of people in the comments i wish i could dedicate time in order to show final fantasy 14 players what they really want to see which is end game content and more challenging dungeons being demonstrated on the m1 max chip for now all i can offer is some

Basic insight into how this game works so this is one of the first games which i’ve seen which has a separate license for the mac os and the windows version of the game if you look at the actual files of the mac os port you’ll actually see information about the bottle so this

Means that code weavers have created the one compatibility layer which allows the windows version of the game to run on mac os you can even do things like open the bottle settings and even change things like add the dxvk hud for better frame rate tracking so in this video i’m

Testing out this game at 1440p and i’m running this initial section at the maximum graphics setting just in this initial starting city we’re getting between 59 and 65 frames per second here i tweak the setting to high and now we’re getting a small improvement of between 55 to 70 frames per second when

We’re out in the open world at this high setting we’re achieving roughly 50 to 65 frames per second and for my first impressions at least in this starting zone the game feels very responsive and smooth to play however of course i would expect later areas and dungeons to be much more complex and

Obviously have a greater effect on the frame rate of this game i’d love to hear from current final fantasy 14 players who are playing on the m1 pro or the m1 max chip how their experience of the game has been for them so far especially when they’re using this version of the

Mac os port i’ve also heard that you can get performance improvements if you run the windows license version of this game through a compatibility layer like crossover which uses a later version of wine or something like parallels as well anyway this brings us to the end of our

List i’m afraid i’ve had to cut it off at 10 online games only however i’ve already got planned in my head a part 2 of this video if you’d like to see a part 2 then please leave a comment below suggesting the game that you’d like me

To cover anyway i hope you found this video useful if you did please like and subscribe and i’ll see you in the next video
