Hello,
Based on your current specs, I would imagine you're getting some lag. MacBooks aren't exactly the greatest at playing games (although the newer ones are quite capable), but there is always room for improvement. You can upgrade your RAM to up to 16GB which should make a noticeable difference, but 8 will also be fine.
Sep 07, 2019 You have that and the golden ENTERPRISE OS that has a support system you can use. RX 480 was nice in its day but many games can now overrun that GPU. Finally if this is lag online, you neatly. Even the low specs games lag and stutter on my gaming laptop. Request Guys i have had inspiron 15 7567 for around 4 years.i have always had a bit of stutters and lag on games i play like seige and pubg where i used to get around 50 fps and 30 fps on all settings set to the lowest as possible.it used to just work fine,not very bad but it was bad.
As far as graphics cards go, not much you can change with MacBook Pro's, but I believe your model should have 2 - 1 integrated, and one dedicated. The computer should automatically switch between them (when it needs more power it'll switch to the dedicated). I dunno though, your computer may be different.
Next is the game settings. I've got an early 2011 MacBook pro with i7 and same amount of RAM as you, but it's just 2.0 GHz. Playing any games on highest settings is usually a lagfest (on Mac and Windows Bootcamp). I would reccomend turning off things such as anti-aliasing and various filtering. Another option that makes a big difference is resolution. If you can live with a little bit lower settings, this can be a big fps increaser. Try going from 1440x900 to 720p. This allows me to play games like Assassin's Creed III and Battlefield 3 with no hassle. Usually around 30 fps - could be better, but for a laptop, does great. Also, playing while plugged into AC power can help a little bit.
