> Isn't there a single GPU benchmark that actually does the same work so that comparisons can actually be made?

Apple does not support OpenGL or Vulkan, only Metal, and most app devs have better things to do than rewriting code for the Mac.

The recommended way of gaming on a mac is to use emulation by emulating whatever the game is used with a metal wrapper.

IMO the claim that these benchmarks aren't fair is naive. I don't care about how good the hardware is, but about what performance I get. If I get poor performance because the software, drivers, etc. are poor, I want to know that.
