Hi guys,
I was really looking forward to playing Cyan's new game Obduction on my mid 2010 Mac Pro. However, an error message* on launch basically reveals that my MP isn't Metal API-compatible even though it's running El Capitan 10.11.6.
This might be a dumb statement but I can't even find anything Metal API related on my hard drive so maybe it was skipped over when I upgraded the OS? Would I need to download Metal again from somewhere once I upgrade my graphics card?
Would simply upgrading my graphics card allow my MP to use Metal and therefore launch Obduction? I'd be open to getting a new one bc of the overall benefits anyway. Or is there something more that could be involved? Here's my current MP stats:
Processor: 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 32 Gb 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
Thanks so much for any input!

* The error message states that Unreal Engine (which powers Obduction) can't find any "cooked" content. Cyan's Official Support says that this is caused by out-of-date graphics card that doesn't support Metal: http://support.cyan.com/kb_article.php?ref=1221-UPFV-9088
