In this segment of the video, the focus is on testing how Baldur’s Gate 3 runs natively on a Mac compared to running through wine. There’s a note about troubleshooting activation issues, especially with SSDs and external hard drives. The default settings of the game show it struggling to maintain 20 FPS, which prompts the activation of FSR to improve performance. FSR in balance mode increases the frame rate to the 30s and 40s, although the game still feels stuttery. Overall, FSR provides a noticeable improvement in frame rates, even if the performance is not yet smooth.
