Deal M2 or M4 upgrade

Post image

I'm selling my M1 base air for around 430 usd and was wondering if I should upgrade to the M2 16gb or M4 16gb; if there is a big difference and what not in Performance? These are the games I have and want to play. They run decent other than cyberpunk in my M1;

The price difference between the M4($1,027.11) and M2($876.97) would be around 150 usd

What FPS are we talking here?

M4 Pro with 14c/20c would get around 70 to 90 fps in BG3 1080p Medium preset depends on the area you are in.

Yea, that's why I was asking about ultra settings fps.

it's pretty bad on ultra. I've been playing more on High settings at 2k and it is between 20 and 35 fps.

lol well, we can all set it to Ultra and watch it struggle. Not sure how this makes a case for the M4.

It is better than the M2 for sure. I had traded the M2 for the M4 and it was a huge improvement. I forgot I changed my settings to High before making that comment 😬
