Verdict: PLAYABLE
The Apple M2 Max GPU delivers solid performance for gaming, and while it may not reach the highest FPS levels seen in dedicated gaming GPUs, it should handle Crysis 4 at 1080p resolution reasonably well. An estimated FPS range would be around 30-50 FPS, depending on the complexity of the scenes and settings used. Potential bottlenecks may arise from thermal throttling and the integrated architecture, which can limit performance in more demanding scenarios.
✅ Pros & ❌ Cons
- Pro 1: Strong performance in optimized games and architectures.
- Pro 2: Excellent power efficiency and heat management.
- Con 1: Limited support for some high-end graphics features compared to dedicated GPUs.
Recommended Settings
- Reduce shadow quality to medium.
