Wolfe turns the MacBook into a high-performance gaming rig

The Wolfe

Apple has always been widely criticized for not offering support for the most gamers and with good reason, but many may be surprised when they learn that their MacBook has great potential to become great machines for gaming lovers. And this is possible thanks to Wolfe, which combines our Mac with a desktop GPU, a GPU similar to those used in the most powerful computers in addition to being powerful video editors, graphics cards much more powerful than those offered by Apple integrated into Macs.

Wolfe in its basic version, comes equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950. But if we think that it may fall short before our expectations, we can opt for the Wolfe Pro model, which is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. Although we can also choose to select only what is the empty box and equip it with the GPU that we like the most or that adapts to some special characteristics that we need.

Wolfe offers us up to five times more graphics performance than a MacBook, while if we opt for the Pro model, the performance shoots up to ten times. While on a 13-inch MacBook with an Intel Iris Pro 5200 graphics it offers us less than 15 frames per second, after connecting the basic Wolfe, this figure reaches 50 fps. If instead we connect the Pro model, this figure reaches 70 fps. This device is powerful enough to make your Mac compatible with virtual reality glasses from Oculus and HTC.

Wolfe is currently available on the Kickstarter platform. The base model is priced at $ 399 while the Pro model goes up to $ 449. But if we want to save some money we can buy the DIY model (
Do it yourself) and add the graphics card you want. The initial goal of $ 50.000 He has already achieved it as soon as the campaign is published.
