MP 7,1 How does Spiderman Remastered play on the 7,1?

[exoticSpice]

I played on the 16" Intel 2019 MBP thru bootcamp and having a blast. Was wondering how the 7,1 holds up I heard the game is very CPU intensive but looks wonderful. Anyone tried it on a RX 6900?

How does it play?

Can't answer that question, but curious to what kind of FPS you are getting?

Why wouldn't it run smoothly especially with a 6900XT? I have a 28 core/192GB RAM/6900XT/Win11 running on a separate SSD and all modern AAA games run at above 60fps with maxed out settings.

Over the web?

Some games don't take advantage of 28 cores, even though they are fairly modern.

Some...? What game fully utilizes a multi-threaded 28-core CPU...?

no on Native bootcamp.

It is because this game is very CPU demanding. I wanted to know how the Xeon fares.

I am getting 25-30 FPS on 1440p(external monitor connected to MBP 16") on high settings with FSR 2.0, turned on.
It's been a enjoyable experience but I would liked at least 40 FPS for smoother gameplay.

I was being cautious with my reply because someone will probably say "game X or game Y" does.

Flight Simulator 2020 certainly doesn't utilise my 16 core 3.2 W3245 fully.

no on Native bootcamp.

I should have added a, boom-boom!, after that.

Xeon's are fantastic CPUs, newest and greatest doesn't always mean better. The only upside of non-Xeon CPUs is higher single core perf. And of course more modern features like on-cpu encoders, etc.

Anyway, to answer the OPs question, I just bought this game and maxed everything out on my machine and it is playing smoothly above 60 FPS at 4k all maxed out. Even enabled Ray Tracing all maxed out. Also this is a port of a PS5 game, so generally speaking, ports are not crazy intensive. There are far more complex AAA games out there that will push the 6900XT.

I also disabled FSR 2.0 (which is the newer gen of of FSR) and its still hitting above 60fps. When FSR 2.0 becomes main stream, high frame rates are not going to be an issue anymore. NVIDIA has had artifical scaling for a long time now, and AMDs is open source, so it will be more mainstream.

To sweeten the deal of the 7,1 Mac Pros, if the 7000 series GPUs are supported by Apple (hopefully) then it can extend the life of these machines for another generation.
