    Resolved iMac (M1 or M3) - secondary ussage as a monitor for Windows PC?

    Thinking about getting an iMac M1 or M3 for my daily office/web usage and was wondering since the monitor is so good: Can I use the M1 or M3 iMac also as a monitor for my Windows PC and what would be required? Quick search didn't show me anything useful, mostly only how to use it with...

    M2 pro or M3 pro for Gaming?

    Both are at the exact price but the M2 pro has 16-core GPU vs 10-core for the M3. M2 pro has Thunderbolt 4 but I don’t think that matters much. As far as gaming, which one is better? I can’t find benchmarks online but I was looking to play some 3D games like Hitman, StarCraft 2 among many others.

    Massive in-game stuttering since iOS/iPadOS 16+

    Have they fixed the much reported and incredibly annoying stutter in games due to ProMotion interfering with in-app settings in iOS 17 or not? There have been hundreds of reports of it here on MacRumours and elsewhere and my own personal gaming experience has definitely been set a good 5-6...

    Other Console level gaming on 15 Pro's looks good, but they left out key info.

    I'm not planning on upgrading my 12 Pro Max as its good enough for what I do, however I'm not going to lie "console level" gaming on the new Pro's is a very interesting concept but I wonder how it is going to be executed. First of all the big question is what are they going to do about file...

    Main Display Lagging while Recording

    Hello, I have searched vastly looking for a solution, asked ChatGPT, and have checked what felt like every corner of the web for two hours. Whenever I record or stream on OBS Studio, I have it opened on my second monitor (Sceptre, 1080p, 60Hz), and usually use my main monitor (LG Brand TV, 60...

    Apple: A company that listens

    (Wasn't sure where to post this since it covers just Apple. haha. But I was using my iphone for the most current issue and the App Store, so here it is. lol) The title might sound too altruistic on Apple's part, but they seem to listen to feedback more than any other company I've interacted...

    Old School RuneScape

    Anyone used the new M2 Pro/Max on OSRS? Curious what frame rates you get with/without GPU plugin. My 2019 Intel 2.3ghz i9 gets 18-20 without GPU plugin and 50 FPS with GPU plugin. I am hoping the new ones are much better as this is pretty abysmal. I fully 200% trust the mods will move this...

    OS X MacOS Proton Replacement

    So this is probably a question I’ll get laughed at for asking, but is there an alternative to Proton on MacOS for playing Windows games on Mac? Linux has this application and paired with Steam it works wonders (for the most part). But when I try to find a way to do this on my MacBook, I find...

    OS X Any games for super-ultrawide?

    Hey 👋 So I recently got a a Samsung 49” super ultra wide, to go with my mbp M1 Max/64gb. To be clear it’s a work related purchase, and I didn’t buy it for gaming, and I’m not really a gamer, I have an old Xbox I very rarely play. But man this screen is so damn gorgeous, super amazing for...

    iPhone 14 Pro Why isn’t Apple fixing the touch input stutter on iPhone 14 Pro models?

    Since I received my iPhone 14 PM I immediately noticed there was an issue with the touch input of the device. In games, you’ll notice a stutter whenever tapping the display, and if your fingers are held down on the screen (using a virtual joystick for example), you get framedrops and stuttering...
