There were no launch delays from Capcom’s end as Resident Evil Requiem arrived on schedule and has already become a popular pick amongst PC gamers because it has smashed the previous franchise record for player concurrency on Steam. Unfortunately, the Japanese game developer hasn’t catered to Apple Silicon Macs with a native port, but that hasn’t stopped people from testing the AAA title on their machines. One individual owning a MacBook Pro powered by the incredibly powerful M4 Max states that he was getting respectable framerates with some settings tweaks.
On the high settings preset, Path Tracing disabled and frame generation enabled, M4 Max can obtain around 90FPS
The 14-core CPU and 32-core GPU of the M4 Max were tested, and for those who have yet to fire up Resident Evil Requiem on their PCs, it can become quite a demanding title if you decide to become bold and crank those graphics settings to their maximum values. Instead, we recommend checking out our detailed tweaking guide to boost your framerates. On Reddit, an M4 Max MacBook Pro owner ‘oyskionline’ has shared that the initial part of the game nets him around 90FPS, though some tweaking was in order to achieve this result.
AMD’s FSR3 upscaling was set to Balanced, with frame generation enabled, and the visuals preset to high. The internal resolution is 1,800 x 1,169, with the system almost utilizing 16GB of the M4 Max’s unified RAM count. Fortunately, the powerful Apple Silicon comes equipped with 36GB of memory, but portable Mac owners with lower configurations will have to make some serious compromises because they’ll be running out of GPU horsepower available video framebuffer rapidly.
Also, keep in mind that the image above shows Resident Evil Requiem gameplay during the initial phase, which is also the most graphically taxing. As the player progresses with Grace Ashcroft, the framerate will also increase, as performance indoors is significantly higher. It will be interesting to see how the game performs on the less powerful chipsets like the M4 Pro and M5, so stay tuned for more updates.
