Metal 3 Compatibility

Hi,

Will Metal 3 work on my Radeon RX 5500 XT eGPU?

Alongside 2019 MacBook Air


Thank you

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.5

In the fine print of Metal Overview - Apple Developer, it says,

Mac: Apple silicon (M1 or later), AMD Radeon Pro Vega series, AMD Radeon Pro 5000/6000 series, Intel Iris Plus Graphics series, Intel UHD Graphics 630

The problem is, my GPU is not the Radeon Pro 5500-XT, it's the regular Radeon RX 5500-XT.


On a side note, my iGPU is the UHD Graphics 617, not the 630
