@McD Please note that only the latest version (R20 - R23 released after 2020) does not benchmark the GPU, but before that the R15 version did. Go look at the results and tell me if M1 has the same result of 1080 or something like that (and not the notebook version please). Also what you say is right, the M1 pro is slightly superior to a (non ti) 1060, which is true, but the 1060 is an mid-low video card. Whereas in the benchmarks above, there is a very pronounced disparity as if Affinity was very optimised for apple M cpus and not so much for the others processors. Don't you think?

Please check before that guy channel... he's an apple fanboy, what do you expect from him? I'm talking about benchmarks with comparable results from everyone. Besides mine is a desktop not a notebook (which has other features including low power consumption) and I would like affinity apps to be optimised for these as well. I think it is a legitimate request. Don't believe the hype - https://www.tomshardware.com/news/apple-m2-gpu-analysis

I wanted to show the result of the i5 13500 and an old nvidia 960 which I must say make a good impression considering that the processor now costs 300 euros (the launch price) and the video card can be found for 100 euros from ebay. I have to say that the affinity team is putting a lot of effort into optimizing the code for metal/apple devices but they are not putting the same effort for openCL/other systems, because the gap is all here. In fact, if you check other benchmarks like 3dmark or cinebench the M1 pro gets similar scores to an Nvidia 1060 (which is an average gpu nowadays) but in the comparisons above I see a whole different situation...
