Minimum requirements
Likely meets minimum requirements
Likely meets recommended requirements
The publisher lists GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (tier 3); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 3. M3 Max, 14-core CPU, 30-core GPU — Apple M3 Max 30-core GPU: LIKELY. Apple M3 Max 30-core GPU is tier 5; the requirement is tier 3. The publisher states 4 GB of video memory and this configuration only has shared/unified memory, so the result is capped at LIKELY. M3 Max, 16-core CPU, 40-core GPU — Apple M3 Max 40-core GPU: LIKELY. Apple M3 Max 40-core GPU is tier 6; the requirement is tier 3. The publisher states 4 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.
