Verdict: STRUGGLING
The Apple M1 Pro GPU is a solid performer for many tasks, but when it comes to gaming, particularly demanding titles like Marvel's Wolverine, it may struggle. At 1080p, you can expect around 30-40 FPS in medium settings, but performance may dip significantly in more graphically intensive scenes. Bottlenecks may arise due to the GPU's architecture and compatibility issues with certain gaming engines, which are often optimized for discrete GPUs found in traditional gaming rigs.
