    Games on Mojave

    happy to hear people being able to run Mac OS Mojave on their Mac pros without issues, but my question asks if games like fortnite, csgo and other big games, work on Mojave.

    Metal with a Polaris GPU in Mac Pro 5,1

    A quick question I have about Metal being functional after upgrading to a Polaris gpu in my case rx560. Does metal just enable as soon as you boot with the new gpu, or is there something you need to do to enable metal on a cMP after upgrading. Those questions only apply if metal even does work...

    Does iOS 10 do what iOS 9 was supposed to?

    I was excited for iOS 9 simply because of the relatively crummy experience iOS 8 had been and the promise of drastic performance improvements due to Metal. Well, I never did notice much in the way of improvement, even up to 9.3.5. I upgraded to the 6s just because the 1 GB of RAM in the 6 was...
