Just upgraded the MacOs on my Mac mini M1 to Ventura - took less than 30 minutes which was impressive.
No game issues at all - seems the graphics have been optimised and will run at higher res happily without lag - though I don’t usually run above 6.
So at 2560 lines, quality 6, 60 frames steady.
I’m using a 4K TV so it won’t go above 60 frames, be interested to know how it’s running on a 144Mhz gaming monitor if anyone has that set up
Works beautifully on M1 Max 16" Pro as well, though I did not see any FPS improvements. It’s the same as it was before.
With the M1 Pro base model I noticed fps drops when clicking. Strange issue, someone else noticed it too: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/mac-os-ventura-m1-bug-wotlk-classic/1377995
Have you noticed anything similar?
I’m using Mac mini M1 with 16Gig Ram, not noticed any problems at all - the graphic performance after the move to Ventura is definitely improved - and that will be the optimisation for the ARM chipset.
Are you running 8Gig or 16Gig Ram, as I understand it the M1 will use the SSD as virtual Ram and perhaps that is causing you that issue?
I have 16gig, this is the 14" Pro M1 Pro. I’m also playing with an external monitor. The issue is not that noticeable with Macbooks own monitor though.
I did not have this issue with the previous version of MacOS.
I managed to re-create the effect - if you just click in your view FPS will drop 2/3, and if you repeatedly click FPS would drop down in increments but no lower than 44/45.
So I called Apple.
Thought process is that its a small drop as the hardware acceleration (introduced in Big Sur and Optimised for Metal 3 in Venture) is activated ready for you to change the camera angle.
Frame rate recovers almost instantly with no other undesirable effect ,
If you have a mismatch between the scaling on the desktop (native) and the scaling you use in the game this would cause further issues as you are putting a latent load on the GPU
Hmm,
Interesting. Did they suggest anything else to get rid of the issue? Do you think this should be fixed by Blizzard or Apple?
its a drop of 2/3 fps for a second - it’ll get ironed out - but the M1 isn’t a gaming machine
I believe the FPS drop may have to do with GxAllowCachelessShaderMode
Have a look at this
Yes! Someone is talking about this.
I have M1 16" and game used to work fine.
After ventura and woltk game drops 20 fps every time i click.
If I farm mobs and need to loot multiple of them right right click, game even turns black for a sec few times.
It seems like clicking is broken for now.
Is it still a thing ? I postpone my mac update only because this potential issue.
Yes, the issue still exists. However, the overall performance seems to be better though.
