Nvidia must be dumb af to had bought ARM for 40b dollars then, hypothetical hopes and all. And Microsoft giving haste to Windows 10 ARM development is probably pointless as well. Apple going all out on ARM CPUs to replace almost their whole PROFESSIONAL line of computers along with consumer line. But they must have hypothetical hopes for the future. These are irrelevant companies, right? - not like that they more or less shaped the modern computing era or anything like that.

OK... remember this when ARM chips have 25-30% of the desktop market in a few years.

Guard version of tower ranger. Mad skills.

You guys still play this game in a serious way? It's done, not even the expansion can save it unfortunately. Years of neglect have rotted its core. Go play HLL, a game where devs actually give two squirts about their players.

I am software developer, gamer, power user and I would not touch apple devices with a stick considering their "dumbed-down foolproof limitation what you can do on their devices". Yes, I like being able to break my hard drive firmware on linux with hdparm tool if I want to. > What points? You're just complaining that YOU don't like it, which is irrelevant in an objective view on the matter. Have you ever even owned a Mac - be it a Macbook or iMac?

The hand pushing it back into the dumpster fire where it belongs. Apple is a great marketing machine, but their products aren't even half as good as they try to tell people. Dude, the M1 is destroying everything in the laptop market and it's and entry level chip... Apple is changing the PC market and some people (you for instance), just don't want to accept it.

I've done some more testing on my Air M1 and GW2. 1600x900 lowest settings with best texture filtering on. I can WvW inside blobs. No joke. Sure it drops to low frame rates in blobs (lowest I've seen was 17 fps in SM 50v50), but for the most part in blobs its 20-25 fps, and roaming I'd say an average of 45-50fps. Actually playable :open_mouth: in WvW

If you're dying to pew you're simply, uber bad. Pew has so many counters... this post has to be a joke right? As a ranger main since beta weekends, I can remember pew ranger being OP only on the first no downed state event. Since then it's been meh, not even a meme. Ranger/Soulbeast actually have a few completely broken builds (not boonbeast) that are harder to play right, so many don't even bother to try it. If you want to nerf something so badly, start with boon and condi spam on many professions, which are the root cause of WvW being the sh.t fest that it is currently.

As some tech reviewers are claiming Apple silicon will become a big player in gaming in the near future. And I agree with this. Some games already run great on the M1 and some are getting there. WoW, ESO and Albion run 60 fps+ on my base model Air with 7 cores. Albion even does it at 1600p high. Although I doubt Anet will actually do anything to bring Mac client performance up to par with their competitors, I do think they should do it, and do it quickly. Times are changing, ARM is pushing hard into the desktop and laptop market, and Apple will lead the way. And we all know what happens when Apple does something new... others initially laugh, but then quickly follow. But for now, I'll continue shaking my head at Anet and their ignorance.

Melee soulbeast is superior to this in every way. 3/10 video

I have a Macbook air M1 and can confirm GW2 runs on it, but not very well. Ran it with Anet Mac client. For some random pve it would be playable, anything else I'd say no. Waiting for someone to test it via Crossover, if it runs any better.
