The winner in this segment is clear and its Windows 10. This is to be expected as Apple doesn’t target their systems for gaming, and works better for users who utilize their Macs for other applications, like dealing with spreadsheets, editing word documents, video editing, and other utilities. Besides the basic cleaning of applications, and software that “improves and speeds up” your Mac, but doesn’t actually do much, besides those, there aren’t many settings, features or applications that can be used to optimize the Mac for gaming. While on the Mac side of things, there aren’t as many options. This prioritizes the game application and essentially gives more resources to obtain better performance. The most commonly used one would be Game Mode, which can easily be turned on by going to Settings > Gaming > Game Mode and switching the toggle to “on”. There are a plethora of tools and features, both built-in and third-party, that Windows users can utilize to optimize the performance when gaming. Winner: Windows 10 2) Optimization Options For Gaming

In terms of having the most available games/most developers supported, Windows 10 takes the cake by a huge margin. This is a possible alternative but annihilates the whole point of having a Mac in the first place, as it essentially turns your Mac into a Windows 10 device. However, it should also be known that you can play Windows games on Mac by using a virtual machine, which basically uses your PC’s hardware to power a “virtual” computer that lives inside your primary computer, which in this case could be used to power a Windows 10 machine on macOS.
