Hello, I would like to know if someone have already try to run wow on an iMac M1 16go, and if it is better than an MacBook Air M1 ( I mean playable at 60fps in a good level of graphisme)
ty 
Both would perform pretty much identical unless MBA would be in a hot place an throttle. I would say base M1 chip is not enough for smooth gameplay. The FPS will drop to like 30 FPS in mass combat or when lots of particle/spell effects are happening.
ok so definitely not a good go 
thanks for the answer
Im sorry but this had been said before:
You can´t game on a Mac, they r in no way build for that.
You can (WoW only) if you buy the expensive Mac Studio. On NA forums some just rushed to buy them âjustâ to play WoW on a mac 
Nonononononononono!
I play WoW on my new Macbook Pro with M1 Max chip. It works better then on my ryzen 7 with GTX 2070 SuperâŚ
Some bugs yes but thats normal. I hope they will fix the little bugs⌠
Short: yes yo can play with it but check your chip first (tests etc.)
why would anyone game on a mac?its a pc for music end video editionâŚnot gaming.
wanna gaming get a intel/nvidia/ssd m2.

Filthy mac gamer!
Can I ask if youâre using a separate monitor w your MacBook Pro and if so, what size/resolution?
iâm shifting from an old 2015 iMac, but the resolution is huge: 5120 x 2880 and Iâm struggling to imagine anything worse (I work from home on my computer all day) - so wondering what is good?
thanks

You wonât get a solid 60 FPS experience without lower the render resolution and setting most settings to low.
Ifris is not really correct here. S/he doesnât seem to understand the differences between the M1 processor variants.
A MacBook Pro M1 has a higher-end variant of the base M1 processor so it can drive the WOW at better graphics settings.
An iMac with an 8-core GPU will be able to drive WOW but not on the highest settings. If you want to game on a Mac Iâd suggest you either accept the low-end M1âs cannot drive WOW at high graphics settings or look to one of the âProâ machines, or a MacStudio if your budget stretches that far.
I play on an ultrawide display at 720p render scale with AMD FSR 1.0 on a mac mini with m1 16gb ram.
You can play it on an m1 imac and the 16gb is a good idea. WoW can take 7gb of RAM on my mac mini. But the more you spend the better the graphics quality.
It will certainly play decently.
Never mind the wincel trolls, they have no life.

Who asked for your life story?
I think you should look in the mirror before spouting nonesense.
Hi i have a iMac 24" 16gb mem 256 ssd but 7-core gpu ], i play wow but the i donât like the tempâs i get i have see 83c is there a different in tempâs the 7 -core with the 8- core?
83C is fine. When it gets to 100-110C is where it starts to throttle and lose performance.
8-core GPU would run the game at a slightly higher FPS and use a bit more power so more heat. What you can do to limit resource usage (and temps sometimes) is to set the in-game FPS limit to your display refresh rate (if itâs not set already).
