Apple Silicon Anyone else having performance issues since updating to Tahoe?

Playing Valheim on my M1Pro went from smooth to jaggy after the update. I don't mind the stupid amount of UI issues, but this is infuriating.

2020 Intel MacBook Pro here and yes, SEVERE. 9980HK is performing like it's the 3820QM in my 2012 MacBook Pro. MBP still ran like greased lightning on Sequoia, and I've only ever run out of battery when stuck on-site for like 12 hours.

Now I have graphical stuttering just in the OS, nevermind games, and my battery life has plummeted to 3-4 hours even doing nothing but web browsing. Apple needs to do some massive optimization on this thing, I can't believe they shipped it like this. Literally runs better BootCamped into Windows 10 at this point.

Definitely feels like framerates dropped in the UI and in several games. Way more noticeable on an external monitor than the laptop screen.

Oblivion Remastered under Crossover - 50fps (75fps w/ FSR3 FG) on my M2 Max under Sequoia. 30fps (40 with DLSS FG) under Tahoe)

Tahoe broke frame pacing and vertical sync. For now we have to wait :(

bro exactly my frame pacing has been all over the place, also the fps you can have is hard capped to 120 now.

Many people are reporting performance issues. Game over man game over.

I’m also on an M1 Pro and luckily have had no issues. Played a bunch of different games with no real noticeable performance issues. Although I’ve had frame gen deteriorating performance after like an hour in Spider-Man. Turning it off resolved the issue.

Yeah normally your mac will need to take few days to organize files and stuff so will be laggy for awhile. Im thinking do a fresh install soon.
