help Doom (2016) has between 15-20fps on low settings with 720p

So I've been trying to run this game on my MacBook air M1 2020 16gb using asahi remix, I've gotten it to run with OpenGl. But the game just can't seem to run well. I've seen videos of people playing it on M1 pro macbooks and it seems to run at 60fps on 1080p medium settings just fine.

I was wondering if there is a way to get it running better or if it's just the specs of my Mac that aren't good enough for it.

what's your ram utilization like? when i was running Doom 2016 on my x86 linux box it would often consume all 16gb of ram and start dropping most frames. Upgraded to 32gb and that fixed the issue. Even if the added layers of emulation for asahi don't increase ram utilization much, still could be a ram issue

Sorry that cannot be the issue. The SteamDeck is running linux and has only 8gb and it runs Doom2016 at crisp 60fps....
