I am on Mac Studio with a M1 Max (2022). I am playing on the 3840x2160 resolution, with graphics preset "Extreme" but additionally, Planar Reflection set to "off" and Depth of Field set to "simple". Both settings have a strong impact on FPS but not that much on graphics quality. With those settings, even in the most crowded places I get 30-35 FPS which is absolutely enough for smooth gameplay while enjoying crisp graphics. In less crowded areas, I get 40-45 FPS. I found those settings to be the optimal compromise between eye candy and smooth gameplay.
Just waiting for the M5 to be introduced to the Mac Studio, and then all of the above shouldn't matter anymore..
Best
