Knowing next to nothing about hardware, I did a bit of research and found out that my machine has Intel Iris Graphics and, most interestingly, that macOS dynamically allocates up to 1.5GB of system memory to the graphics card. The worst, though, was Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, a flat 2D game - it ran more smoothly on my friend's much, much older and weaker non-Apple laptop. Same thing with Rocket League, a super accessible sports-racing hybrid that any half-decent budget machine can run decently. ![]() Games such as The Witness (a puzzle game in 3D with stylized graphics and no action) and Spec Ops: The Line (a shooter that wasn't super graphically flashy even when it was released, in 2012), barely even ran, and had to be configured with the absolute minimum graphics settings for them to reach 20-30fps. I never expected super incredible performance in 3D games, but nevertheless I have been severely disappointed with it and I wonder if there's something wrong with my hardware or drivers. So I've recently installed Windows on my mid-2014 Macbook Pro Retina 13" to play some games.
