M1 vs M4 for Autocad LT for Mac

I currently have an iMac with an M1 chip / 16GB RAM running Autocad LT 2025 for Mac.

 

Autocad seems to generally work ok, but I do get some graphics artifacts and the interface does seem to render a bit slowly.  I'm wondering if an upgrade to the new M4 series chips from Apple would speed things up a bit.

 

Anyone upgraded to the new M4 series chips and have some hands on feedback to share?

Can you confirm your MacOS please?

Do you have this update installed yet

what settings do you have for Graphics Engine on General tab of AutoCAD Preferences?

Currently running MacOS Sequoia 15.1.  Confirmed I have LT 2025.1 installed.

 

I've played with both Open GL and Metal for the Graphics Engine.  Previous to installing LT 2025.1 Open GL seemed to work better, but now trying Metal and it seems to work a bit better than Open GL now, but still kinda slow and seeing a few artifacts.
