M1 max vs M2 max gaming performance? (self.macgaming)

Does anyone have benchmarks on how much better m2 is at gaming?

Specifically I'd like to see benchmarks for native games, and rosetta games like frostpunk, which seem to be cpu bound quite heavily.

I have found lots of individual benchmarks, but no direct comparison.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOyp0xYSJ3c Andrew Tsai made a video on this topic, i assume he does just a general gaming comparison.

I actually watched that, but it only tests 2 native games which do not run rosetta. The performance increase there seems quite nice, but I'm wondering if rosetta titles will see less of it.

I can't give specifics or a side-by-side as my m1 mac mini is sold, but I was able to run Rise of the Tomb Raider at higher settings on the m2 pro mac mini than I was the m1. I'd be happy to share my frame rate and such if someone wants to request the settings they'd like me to use.

Ditto, I have a pretty sizable steam library mostly of strategy and simulation games, so happy to post experiences with e.g. Paradox games, Tropico, Frostpunk, etc

Can you try frostpunk on the m2 max or m2 ultra?
