FFXIV Performance On An iMac

[Avenger]

If you can go bootcamp that is best choice, performance-wise.

How much better, you can check yourself using the benchmark: run it on both with same settings, and compare results.

I get about double the frame rate in boot camp. However if I reduce graphical settings (especially resolution) the macOS client (which seems to use the codeweavers middleware and custom WINE version) is certainly playable, just at about 50% of the frame rate on the same machine using boot camp.
