Macs tend to have background apps that are always running, collecting information or constantly updating. But for gaming, you don’t want anything that’s going to take up your precious RAM, so it’s a good idea to disable some unnecessary background processes. If you don’t use your Notification Center, for example, we suggest starting there.
You can find Terminal in the Utilities folder, which is in Applications. Step 3: Now paste this command to kill Notifications: Launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ Step 2: Paste or type in this Terminal command to get started: Launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ If you ever decide you need the Notification Center again, you can bring it back with this command: Step 4: The Notification Center should now be disabled (you may get an alert telling you something is wrong, but that just means it worked). You can now launch the Notification Center again. You can also visit the Mac Activity Monitor to see if there are other background apps that you don’t need and can disable. This isn’t strictly necessary, but if you have a discrete GPU in your Mac, you’ll really want this app to make your gaming easier. GfxCardStatus is a simple, free app that allows for some basic GPU monitoring in Macs with both separate and discrete graphics cards.

You can find and download it here (as well as donate). When you open gfxCardStatus, you can get notifications about which GPU you are using, what apps are using it, and more. You can also manually switch to a Discrete Only mode, which is a good idea when you are ready to start gaming.
Take a final look at any open apps and close down all nonessential ones, especially memory-hungry browsers.
