So my macbook can get 60fps but sometimes it drops to 40 if i use vulkan, i dont know if other graphics mode that is suitable for a mac to help it easily reach 60.

Hello, @SniperMike300, if you are lagging in a Roblox game, I would recommend you to play with a graphics level below 5. And, if any background applications are running, close them unless they are really important applications. The more your graphics level is, the more pressure it will put on your device. That will cause a crash or lagging.

Hope this helped!

OpenGL is overall the most performant. You should try using that.

I am using level 1 graphics and vulkan with frame rate manager on plus the only app open besides roblox is Spotify

I tried opengl but the gpu usage keeps spiking

40 fps is a great thing, while my laptop barely crosses 15 fps with least graphics

Depends on your Mac model along with CPU and GPU, other specs would be nice too.

Are you using ARM for your Mac or no?

I’ve found OpenGL is good on my PC. I guess it’s not for you.

Im using an intel i5 from 2017

Vulkan lowers the gpu usage to like 8.00 ms but sometimes it drops

Put graphics all the way down so it doesn’t lag as much.

There isn’t much to do to get more performance from a 6 year old laptop. The only thing you can do is turn down settings and update drivers.

I would test which renderer gives best performance using the Microprofiler and choose that.

Easiest way for me to fix is deleting all cache and roblox files and restarting it plus I restored my original monitor res and it went abit smoother and able to stay at 60 longer but sometimes still drops to 50/40 but it easily goes back to 60

I have a 6-year-old laptop. It’s a laptop, not a mac, so it works with Roblox.

I think that’s normal, just make sure output is closed (unless you’re debugging) since its laggy sometimes.

#15

My mac is normal no debug i mostly use it for calls

#16

graphics mode 1 is best for performance :confused:

#17

I always set the graphics that is meant for potato pc

#18

is 1 meant for potato PC? just asking the question

Try using Metal. OpenGL wont work that well as MacOS has to emulate OpenGL calls with Metal calls.

Yes and all games i always use level 1
