Minimum requirements
Likely meets minimum requirements
Likely meets recommended requirements
The publisher lists GeForce GTX 560 (tier 2); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 2. M1 Pro, 10-core CPU, 14-core GPU — Apple M1 Pro 14-core GPU: LIKELY. Apple M1 Pro 14-core GPU is tier 4; the requirement is tier 2. The publisher states 1 GB of video memory and this configuration only has shared/unified memory, so the result is capped at LIKELY. M1 Pro, 10-core CPU, 16-core GPU — Apple M1 Pro 16-core GPU: LIKELY. Apple M1 Pro 16-core GPU is tier 4; the requirement is tier 2. The publisher states 1 GB of video memory and this configuration only has shared/unified memory, so the result is capped at LIKELY.

How this was judged
Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
