Hello community, Just would be interested to upgrade my 2016 MacBook Pro with 2018 one 15 inch model and would like to know if it can run below games: (not intense gaming) 1/Fortnite 2/Cuphead 3/Friday the 13th 4/Dead by daylight 5/Overwatch 5/Diablo 3 Should be a problem with running bootcamp and using my Steam Account. For bigger games, I have PS4 or Switch but just light gaming sometimes I don’t need all maxed out spec medium High with 60fps Thank for the feedback:-) (FYI heavy use of MacBook Pro is for Final Cut Pro + photos software (adobe suit) Luminar, Pixelmator 2 and also planing either Logic Pro X or Ableton still undecided) • • • • •. I have a newly bought 2018 MBP 15' and I use it for gaming, on top of editing at my job. I know PCs are better for that and blah blah, but let me tell you I'm quite surprised with the performance. Out of the games listed I play Diablo 3, Overwatch, and other Blizzard games (WoW etc.), and I get 60+ FPS on recommended settings. It feels incredible, but that's coming from someone who previously gamed on an iMac 27' 2011. If you're not playing some overly demanding games in terms of graphics, you'll be fine.

If you pair it with a nice 21-27' monitor, you really don't need a PC for some light gaming. Well I would like to go with 32 GB Option & I9 with 2 TB SSD. Getting Ram Full very often especially when i open up multi internet tabs + doing photo editing + listening music on spotify.

I would like to upgrade to get something more future proof and i am getting stuck with 512 GB and those 16gb. As i said i dont need to have a laptop with 1060 1070 as my gaming time is limited i would like to do a 1TB WIndows partition on that new Macbook and just enjoy few games. I dont want to have 2 computers & i am not a big fan of windows LAPTOP. Too much invested into APPLE Ecosystem with Iphone - Ipad - Apple Watch & Mac • • • • • • •.

Before heading into the game, there's a few points that need to be brought up. First, the Blackmagic eGPU won't work in Windows 10 using Bootcamp plug-and-play. There are ways to get it going, but they, and we don't recommend them for all but the most technically proficient.

Apple's eGPU implementation really demands that it be used with an external monitor, like LG's, but there are individual Terminal commands to enable the EGPU to perform calculations without a display. If you need to use multiple applications at the same time, there's actually a script called set-eGPU that'll allow you to use the without an external monitor across many applications that wouldn't ordinarily support it fully under High Sierra. We will look into how to set that up and testing the performance of a looped-back eGPU to the internal MacBook Pro display in a future article. We have also confirmed that you can use a or to hook up pretty much any external monitor you have, with a limitation of 4K at 60 frames per second. Just the 13-inch MacBook Pro Getting into the game itself, we're attempting to run the game at the MacBook Pro's native resolution of 2560x1600, and the frames per second are extremely low.

Jul 27, 2018  Update: As of Wednesday, November 14, 2018, Apple offers new, higher-end graphics options for the 2018 MacBook Pro. Namely, mobile Radeon Pro Vega. The 15-inch MacBook Pro now offers Radeon Pro Vega GPU options — the first discrete mobile Vega GPUs in a notebook. Aug 1, 2018 - Apple's 2018 MacBook Pro refresh offers strong CPU performance. On the Dirt 3 gaming test, the MacBook Pro ran at 47 frames per.

At high settings on everything but the shadows, huge lag spikes are observable, and the game is sticking at around 15 frames per second. So the conclusion from that test is that Fortnite is pretty much unplayable on the, unless you turn the graphics settings all the way down to low. At an even lower than HD resolution around 720P, maybe you'll get a great playable experience. At this resolution, the game sat at around 35-40 frames per second, and that's honestly not enough because there are still frame spikes.

With Blackmagic Next, we plugged in the Blackmagic eGPU and the LG UltraFine 5K display, to see if we can play Fortnite at 5K resolution. Even with this change, the Blackmagic eGPU is continuing to do a great job. It's completely silent, like you wouldn't even be able to tell that's it on. Switching monitors Continuing the test, we moved to a 4K monitor and hooked it up using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable. In this case, we used a, which has far better overall performance and color saturation that the LG 5K. Under these conditions, we're still looking at around 30 frames per second average in 4K Epic quality, but this honestly looks so much worse than before.

We dropped the graphics quality down to high, which resulted with an average of 40 and occasional spikes at 50 frames per second. This is still playable, but we're still not reaching anywhere near 60 frames per second. In the future, we're also going to test out the and see if the dual-core CPU bottlenecks the Blackmagic eGPU. We'll also test out the as well, to see if our findings also apply to that model. The best thing about this eGPU is that you can hook it up to LG's UltraFine 4K or 5K monitors using Thunderbolt 3, which you could not do before with any other eGPU. Otherwise, if you have any other display, the Blackmagic eGPU will still work with or a.
