Gaming On The M3 MacBook Air – Is It Possible?



Gaming on the MacBook seems unheard of… Anyways, I did play a couple of titles on here to see what the experience was like.

UPDATE: 1. For Baldurs Gate 3, once I played after Act 2, frame rates were averaging a little less than 30 since there was just much more content during that part of the game.
2. CPU & GPU Temps remained relatively cool at the 170F mark but after 5 hours of use, I saw it spiked up to 180F (82C) a couple of times.
3. Still no random crashes and was easily able to exit in and out of tabs (likely due to 16GB of RAM)
