The 16-inch MacBook Pro 2021 with the M1 Max chipset is currently in the spotlight of various parties. The computing and graphics advantages of the M1 Max chipset have brought the 2021 MacBook Pro to be the most advanced laptop device to date.
To prove the sophistication of the MacBook Pro 2021, many content creators are testing the performance of the MacBook Pro 2021 compared to equivalent laptops. One of the interesting tests about the MacBook Pro 2021 M1 Max was carried out by the Youtube account Tally Ho Tech.
This account tested the gaming performance of the Macbook Pro M1 Max compared to the ThinkPad X1 Extreme G4 laptop with an Intel Core i9-11950H processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 GPU. Gaming performance tests were carried out on the game Shadow of The Tomb Raider to find out the average frame rates. obtained.
Test result
The test results show that the M1 Max GPU has a stronger performance than the RTX 3080. The M1 Max GPU is able to get an average of 91 FPS when running the Shadow of The Tomb Rider game. While the RTX 3080 can only get an average of 75 FPS only. In terms of temperature and fan speed, the 2021 MacBook Pro with M1 Max is cooler and quieter than the ThinkPad X1 Extreme G4 laptop with RTX 3080.
However, the image display in the Shadow of Tomb Rider game on the RTX 3080 looks more alive than the M1 Max. This is because the RTX 3080 has ray-tracing and DLSS features that make in-game visualizations feel more alive.
From this test, it is evident that the Macbook Pro M1 Max is not only capable of being used for video editing or graphics processing. The Macbook Pro M1 Max has amazing graphics capabilities that can beat the Nvidia RTX 3080. In fact, the GPU used by the M1 Max is an integrated GPU which should have lower performance than a dedicated GPU like the RTX 3080.
