That resolution will take a lot of vram to push. Start gaming or editing on it and it will get crushed. Most 290x's start at 4GB, why Apple chose 2GB I don't know.

Considering the lack of games on the mac paltform, this should not be too much of a problem eh ?


Only 3090 on steam. Which is ~1/3 of the while windows back log. And a large chunk of the imported games are older games, so Linux and Mac both are making steady progress.


Well you have all of Blizzard's games, World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3...


There are tons of current gens games for mac thanks to Steam and Mac ports.


not to mention running games with PlayOnMac (wine wrapper) or parallels. Honestly you can't name a game that won't play on mac.


Definitely disappointed with the GPU options, would have liked to have a beefier AMD option like the Mac Pro.
