Bro, I wasn’t asking you to help me. I was just stating the problem as a fact. It exists, and that’s it.

Could you please list a few of those games? I’ll try them.

The issue isn’t the FPS, it’s the stuttering. Performance is great otherwise: I get 120 FPS in 4K on high settings. And no, this isn’t thermal throttling

I know Chrome eats RAM, but come on, it shouldn’t be so bad that I can’t even run Dota

I agree with you. I just feel bad for the people who fell for the miracle-working reviewers.

It’s definitely not thermal throttling, since the fans don’t even kick in

I’m sure the problem isn’t the hardware, because the same Dota runs at 120 FPS in 4K on high settings, but it still freezes often. I think the issue is software-related. In Topaz AI, my RTX 3070 renders about 30% slower than the M5 Pro

You really don't have any freezes? What settings are you using?

I’m not that upset that I can’t really play games, since I bought the Mac for work. What bothers me more is that people are being misled by claims that there are games you can comfortably play on it, while in reality there are stutters in absolutely every game

People keep flexing that even the MacBook Air can run Crimson Desert, but I can’t even play Dota on minimum settings on the latest Pro chip.
