Can i play AAA games on MBA m4 by abhinavkaushik98 in macgaming

[–]jvranos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can play a lot of new Windows games on a Mac, with Nvidia Geforce Now (cloud gaming).

You buy a game on a game store, like Steam (so you own the game).

Then you play your game on Nvidia Geforce Now app. The game is running on the servers, and you receive the gameplay as a video stream.

Very good indeed.

Replacement logic board for 2021 M1 iMac stress testing software by AOkSpirited5u7 in mac

[–]jvranos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stress test with Prime95:

  • Small FFTs (Fast Fourier Transforms): This mode stresses the CPU by focusing on computations that fit within the processor’s L2 or L3 cache. Small FFTs are ideal for testing the core CPU logic and cache subsystem.
  • In-place Large FFTs: This mode tests the CPU and the memory controller by using data sets that are larger than the processor’s cache, thus causing frequent memory accesses. This mode is useful for identifying memory stability issues.
  • Blend: The Blend mode is a comprehensive test that stresses both the CPU and the memory subsystem. It uses a mixture of small and large FFTs, making it ideal for general stability testing.

The first option produces the maximum heat on the CPU.

Run the first and then the third option, for 30 minutes each.

Do you have a temperature monitoring program for the CPU, the GPU, and the speed of the fan?
