Windows games run through CrossOver with D3DMetal and Rosetta. Shadow of the Tomb Raider runs as the x86 macOS build. The review also charts a Low value without defining it, so no 1 percent low is stored. Cyberpunk 2077 uses the built-in benchmark with the Ray Tracing Medium preset and FSR 3 Quality at 1080p. Gears Tactics is tested at 1080p on Low, Medium and High.
