Firewatch on Mac! Let's test everything!
Firewatch is a great indie first-person mystery game. At nearly a decade old: how does it perform? There’s a lot of ways to play but not all of them great! Seems like the M4 Pro Mac mini via CrossOver Preview 24.0.5 is the best, or the 2019 MacBook Pro. I suspect its the Rosetta translation holds back the performance of the M4 Pro. The older Xeon CPU on the Mac Pro 5,1 - despite its incredible GPU! - is holding back frame rate for ole’ reliable.
All resolutions are 1080p, the Windowed sections are so you can see the system utilization tools running if you’re curious. If not, you’ll see no performance differences from the Fullscreen segments.
I hope you enjoy, thanks for watching!
