I've tried #Apple M3 Max with Baldur's Gate 3, and I'm very disappointed. It chugs at ~20fps in 4K. Supports only outdated and poor-quality FSR 1.

It's likely because the game is not optimized for Apple's Metal, but IMO that's 100% Apple's fault. #BG3 has a mature well-optimized Vulkan implementation, and Apple stubbornly refuses to acknowledge Vulkan's existence.

Apple probably doesn't see the problem, because iOS toddler-casino games don't mind using Metal — but that's not AAA desktop games.
