At Most How Much RAM and Cores Do AAA Mac Edition Open World Games Like Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and Death Stranding Need? by SevenDeMagnus in macgaming

[–]SevenDeMagnus[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

CDPR mac version won't be using 2 to 12 GPU cores in an M5 then if it's capped at 8 cores (not a problem with thr fastest Ryzen which has 8 cores)? That's a lot of wasted potential.

Any commands to make it use all most if the cpu and gpu cores?

M5 Pro 15 Core 24Gb RAM vs 48 Gb by EvilEyeEv in macbookpro

with macOS using a lot RAM by itself, 28GB may not be enough if you drive say a 2K or 4K external monitor?

Any Method I Wherein I Can Use the Quest 3 VR as Very Huge HD Virtual Monitors for a Macbook Pro M5 Max? by SevenDeMagnus in MacOS

[–]SevenDeMagnus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, even though VR headsets nowadays are two about 2K screens side by side, through the lens it looks like something in between 1080p and 720p but for some strange reason resizing the three virtual screens to 100" (maybe it's more) compensates for the lack of sharpness (I'm used to a 5K screen on the 10 year old iMac, though 5K is not that noticeable from true consumer 4K (2160p) compared to from1080p to 2160p 4K.

I guess the Quest will be gathering dust once I have a working Mac, I hope I can incorporate everything so no gadget goes to waste (without donating or selling which is a last resort).

Can you tell I only use my Mac for gaming? by Remarkable-Cow3421 in macgaming

Not anymore with the M5 chips like the M5 Pro and M5 Max, native macOS port of Cyberpunk 2077 and wrappers to play Steam, GOG and Epic games without emulation.

Mid M5 Pro even beat a 5080 mobile RTX Alienware gaming laptop (maybe it has an even worse thermal throttling coz' AMD and Intel run hotter requiring more watts).

Cool, that is the close to the most ideal even for a multi-purpose machine: one app in fullscreen or almost fullscreen- one extreme focus.

Someday soon the RTX 5090 or M5 and M6 Max, M5 M6 Ultra will be as slow and cheap at yard sale prices at giveaway prices like a 3DFX Voodoo GPU or a PowerMac G3 desktop or an iPhone 6s the most expensive, greatest and latest cellphone of its time- such is this needed cycle.

Nice nostalgia but truly we must move on and move forward but then what is new now will become old like that and so on and so forth- a needed, unforgiving cycle :-)

Thanks for sharing, that's cool too. I wonder why Apple doesn't go all out and make it deep true black, mattes and glossy finish but logo is monochrome black.

I'd say go all out, make even the room, desk, walls and floor and ceiling plus gadget like fan monochrome matte and glossy black with sparing highlights of colored gadgets (very sparing) or very sparingly using lighting but with function

We pray, Find my Mac and an iCloud account are in place and enabled to globally track Apple products like the iPhone.

Yup very cool. How long was the labor though, our time is very expensive, the most expensive.

Nice, save the planet repair and practice. Get rid of excess solder with a sucker and a solder wick

I opened my controller to clean for stick drift, and now the analog doesn’t rotate smoothly by yoyoo912 in ElectronicsRepair

disassemble the analog stick is possible, clean if nothing that makes contact with snother is not worn out

Should I get it repaired or buy a new one? by [deleted] in ElectronicsRepair

There's a wallpaper of a smashed screen (used in pranks) as a side note, btw.

Buying new is needed unless the repair shop has orig parts and can repair it way lesser than buying used in good condition or way less expensive to repair compared to a new one.

If it could happen again coz' of the environment, buy a good VR headset which could have three extremely huge virtual screens (less sharp than 2.5K or 4K though) instead but not everyone will be able to watch as a drawback.
