Given a choice between PC or Mac, most gamers would choose a PC every time. All in all, they are cheaper, more customizable, more compatible with a wide range of releases. While this may seem like a no-brainer, there is a large grey area of people who enjoy games but don’t own a headset. These folks may have committed to a Mac long ago and are unwilling to change now, even for the sake of the latest Half-Life.

Macs are not inferior creatures to PCs; in fact, they’re quite alike. They share much of the same components and hardware but are dressed up differently. This means that in theory they should both be able to handle the same output when it comes to running the latest releases; however this is not the end of the story. While Mac does some things much better than Windows, its slick operating system for one thing, install MacOS Catalina for the latest version, and its powerful suite of creative tools, it doesn’t have a graphics card primarily optimised for gaming.
Here’s a quick rundown:
It would help if you had a fast CPU to play 3D games, but even modern computers need extra power in the form of a graphics card or GPU – Graphics Processing Unit. There are two main types, Intel’s Core i5, and i7 processors. These are built onto the CPU and share the Mac’s memory. Not ideal when trying to play 3D games. A better option is a ‘discrete’ graphics card or separate graphics processor that frees up your Mac’s memory and graphics card to run more demanding games.
This means that Mac’s gaming landscape doesn’t have to be a land of discontent. And there is a huge array of magical and mythical titles out there for Mac owners to immerse themselves in, given they have the right system requirements.
Here are a few of our top suggestions: :
