Cyberpunk 2077 runs at 1600p, 61FPS on MacBook Pro 16 with Apple M4 Max chip and ray tracing

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is now out in the wild and running natively on Macs, with the flagship M4 Max chip inside the MacBook Pro 16 laptop running the game with ray tracing enabled at 1600p 61FPS average.

In some new tests from ComputerBase and its community running Cyberpunk 2077 across three benchmarks: Medium Preset, Ultra Preset, and the Ray Tracing Medium Preset, under two resolutions with 1920 x 1200 (1200p) and 2560 x 1600 (1600p).

Upscaling was enabled, with MetalFX upscaling set to Balanced with ray tracing is disabled, and to Performance when it's enabled. V-Sync was off, Maximum FPS was off, and Windows Mode was disabled, running Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition in full-screen mode.

The ComputerBase community provided a bunch of numbers for Cyberpunk 2077 running across all different Apple silicon, from the first-gen M1 through to the new flagship M4 Max chip inside Apple's latest MacBook Pro laptop.

• M3 Ultra (28 CPU + 68 GPU + 96GB RAM) inside Mac Studio: 62.13 FPS
• M4 Max (16 CPU + 40 GPU + 128GB RAM) inside MacBook Pro 16 laptop: 57.52 FPS
• M4 Max (14 CPU + 32 GPU + 36GB RAM) inside MacBook Pro 14 laptop: 47.51 FPS
• M3 Max (14 CPU + 30 GPU + 36GB RAM) inside MacBook Pro 16 laptop: 37.74 FPS
• M4 Pro (14 CPU + 20 GPU + 48GB RAM) inside Mac Mini: 32.77 FPS
• M4 Pro (14 CPU + 20 GPU + 24GB RAM) inside MacBook Pro 14: 32.76 FPS
• M4 Pro (11 CPU + 16 GPU + 24GB RAM) inside MacBook Pro 14: 28.73 FPS
