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
