- Device: MacBook Air M3 8GB 8core CPU 8core GPU
- OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.1
- Method: Crossover 25.0 (25.0.0.38553)
- Game version: latest 1491.50. older versions will not run!
- Store: Direct Install from DODI(yes, there is a reason for this. read the comment below.)
- Resolution: 1280x832
- Settings: in crossover D3DMetal and ESync is turned on. In game VSYNC half, FXAA on, TAA medium, Texture medium and every others set to low
- Framerate: 30 FPS
- Comment: The official Steam version’s performance is subpar. The primary reason is the Rockstar Launcher, which significantly impacts performance. I obtain 15-20 FPS in the official version. Subsequently, I attempted the direct install from DODI, which has yielded better results. It is noteworthy that the official Steam version performs well in 16GB models. However, if you have an 8GB model, you may consider using a pirated version. Repacks do not work in crossover. your only go is to download "direct play no install" file. If you have more than 8GB RAM, purchase it from Steam. note that in some cities and some specific places, the frame rate drops to 25-26 and it is not a significant issue(this is a fault of rockstar. even in my rtx4090 frame rate drops in valentine from 144 to 80.Crazy!).
I tested switching between MSync and Esync for 13 hours with various settings. In MSync, the GPU didn’t fully utilize, and RAM leaked. This issue was noticeable in 8GB but not in 16GB due to higher RAM. In Esync, RAM didn’t leak, the GPU fully utilized, and CPU usage became moderate. Temperature stayed in 65-70 in Esync, while it fluctuated between 80-85 in MSync. MSync caused significant FPS drops and huge stutters in cities, while Esync had very small FPS drops in cities without stutters.
