Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General BG3 running on Mac - who cares?

Get off your horse brudda...

You know what is the most popular GPU used by Steam users? 1060... what's the second most popular? 1050Ti - these two together account for almost 20% of all Steam users when it comes to 3D capability.

If you take all the variants and flavors of 1060 and comparable GPUs - it's more than 35 % there. And I'm not even talking about lower than that.


I think some people need a reality check, as if everyone rocks 3080s or some such. A LOT of people game on laptops and these are the GPUs you can overwhelmingly expect there.

BG3 is no Crysis, it does not push revolutionary graphics, so I am not so sure why you are going such "pikachuface" over prospect of it running on MacBook Pro - which it perfectly will be able to do.

Yes, the point of the discussion is the OP whining about the fact she knows better than Larian where to put their resources to make their game. That's fantastic news. Maybe the OP can get a management job at their headquarters or something.

It might be a good idea to apply.

if you go buy a 2020 computer it wont come with a 1060 if it have a 1060 in it, its not a 2020 computer

mac are not gpu powerhouse.

Ye okay bruddah...

I think you live in an alternate reality where everyone buys gaming PCs filled with LEDs and shit.

BG3 is a last gen title, it's not really a current gen title - 1060 and the likes are enough to run it and 16inch 2020 MacBook Pros mostly have around that.

But you go tell 'em dumb Larian what's what - I bet they need your advice on platforms they should develop for.

KEKW.


Here are the powerhouse GPUs required by BG3:



I think MacBook Pros 15/16 inch starting 2018 models can manage that.

you are totaly out of context , Nyanko said mac are gpu power house not I , I was only rectifying him. get lost.

Daww did a hurt ur feeweings? I'm sowwyyy...

Here have a cookie.


You guys can flail all you like, but reality is MacBook Pros are enough to satisfy all BG3 needs in 3D department and likely more going forward.

still a 1660ti is 150$ gpu ............in a 5000$ computer

its not a bad card, but def. not a GPU POWERHOUSE

Ok, so at this point would a moderator please show mercy and close this thread? Since this has apparently turned into a game of angrily comparing computor stats.

I mean, just look at the title of your thread. Don't you think it's kind of aggressive to mac users? And then you go on afterwards telling it's not what you mean.

You ask "Who cares?" and we reply "We do". Is it satisfying an answer or you want us to add some explanatory pictures or something?

Pretty much. But I guess some people still do this silly war of worlds, as if OS you use is some sort of religion and you need to "burn the infidels" at every opportunity.

You realize that all of that is completely your interpretation of my words, and not based on any evidence? For the record, once and for all. I do not have anything against mac users, nor console users. Strawman arguments dont further the discussion.
