🎮 Cyberpunk 2077 v2.3 Now Runs on Apple Silicon – But How Well Does It Perform?
With the latest update, CD Projekt Red brings native Mac support to Cyberpunk 2077. But is Apple Silicon ready to compete with traditional gaming systems? In this deep-dive benchmark and performance analysis, we put the game through its paces across three very different platforms — all using the exact same build of the game and matched settings for a fair comparison.
🧪 Test Platforms:
• Bazzite – A Fedora-based Linux distro built for gaming, running on AMD hardware
• Windows 11 – The same hardware, tested natively with official AMD drivers
• Apple M3 Max – 14-core CPU, 30-core GPU, 36GB RAM, running macOS Sonoma
📊 What’s Inside the Video:
• A full breakdown of the test methodology
• Matched settings including FSR 3.1, Super Resolution, and frame generation options
• Side-by-side comparisons of performance, stability, and visual fidelity
• A look at both AMD FSR and Apple’s MetalFX rendering technologies
• Insights on frame rate scaling, minimum/maximum FPS, and what this means for the future of gaming on the Mac
💬 Why This Test Matters:
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most demanding titles ever made — if a machine can handle this, it can handle almost anything. With Apple pushing hard into the gaming space, this benchmark serves as a real-world reality check. We’re not just talking synthetic benchmarks — this is actual gameplay, tested and measured.
👀 No spoilers here — you’ll need to watch to see how each platform stacks up. The results may surprise you.
🧠 Ideal For:
• Gamers curious about Apple Silicon performance
• Mac users wondering if they can finally ditch their console or PC
• Linux enthusiasts exploring Bazzite as a Steam Deck alternative
• PC builders comparing bang-for-buck performance
• Anyone fascinated by how far cross-platform gaming has come in 2025
