- Any Mac with an Intel CPU and recent Navi or Vega GPU will work.
- All M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra and M2 are also fully supported.

Benchmarks
The scores below were obtained from the Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker benchmark, using recommended settings.
Note: At 1080p, most higher-end M-series chips are bottlenecked by single-core CPU performance rather than the GPU. However, they will be able to scale to high resolutions (1440p, 5K, 6K+) with minor performance loss.
