Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General BG3 on M1X Macs

With the M1X MacBook Pro announcement happening next week, we can almost guarantee BG3 will be featured at some point during the keynote. The focus is on speed – and judging by how BG3 already runs well enough on M1 Macs, it could be phenomenal on their pro chips. Estimations are the MacBooks could deliver similar GPU horsepower to a RTX 3070… in a thin energy-efficient notebook.

Also, if the M1X-powered Mac Mini rumours come to fruition – that could be a way to get into the game at high levels of quality for little cost.

I’ve been holding off upgrading until after this announcement for the very reason that I want BG3 to sing on my next MacBook.

I just went from a MacBook Pro 2017 to a MacBook Pro 2020 with the M1 chip and it's so incredibly fast now.

For example, Waukeen's Rest was nearly unplayable unless I selected overhead view on the 2017 build. Now, there are no problems, just fast, beautiful graphics.
