Low Framerate on MacOS Apple silicon ~5-6FPS

[phillips321]

Have tried on a Mac M1, M1 Pro and now and M4 Pro.

Using venv, python 3.10.16 and brew tcl-tk only all off the machines I get limited FPS, in the region of 5-6 FPS at most. It appears the GPU is not being used at all:

python
Python 3.10.16 (main, May 13 2025, 14:37:36) [Clang 17.0.0 (clang-1700.0.13.3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> exit()
python run.py --execution-provider coreml

This is also using the inswapper_128.onnx model.

Has anyone else managed to get a decent frame rate on apple silicon hardware? Also has anyone been able to get the GPUs to be used? mactop shows the CPU being maxed out but the GPUs not being utilised.

So reading this here it appears that onnxruntime on MacOS Arm only works with the CPU.

Same here, i just get 1-1.5 FPS with M4

Just a heads up, NVIDIA with CUDA is the best application to run this application when using live. Mac is only an option. It can run but not as good when using NVIDIA
