testing if metal is present?
Hi all,
is there a test application which can test if the new grafics engine metal is present in my mac?
The official criteria i know says as a conclusion "every mac from 2012 or newer can do metal under el capitan".
My machine is a mac pro from 2010, which, by official criteria, cannot do metal.
But some closer information say, that the presence of opengl 4.3 is the real criteria.
My mac has a geforce 980 ti, which has open gl 4.5. So some hope has risen.
And so i am searching for a test application which can say "yes metal is present and working" or "nope, bad luck for you".
Or are the any easy systemcalls so that i can make a test application myself? I am experienced with visual studio, c#, .net, but not with xcode. I am sure that i could make some simple apps.
Every hint or suggestion is welcome.
greetings from germany
