Minimum requirements
Meets minimum requirements
Meets recommended requirements
The publisher lists Feature-level-only requirement (DirectX / OpenGL / memory size, no chip named) (tier 1); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 1. M3 Pro, 12-core CPU, 18-core GPU — Apple M3 Pro 18-core GPU: PASS. Apple M3 Pro 18-core GPU is tier 4; the requirement is tier 1.
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.
