Metal 2 will give Mac OS gaming a big boost

Metal 2 is coming to make gaming on Apple’s Mac OS computers better. It’ll also make Mac computers a better home for virtual reality.

Apple revealed today during a livestream from its WWDC (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference) event in San Jose that its graphical API (application program interface ) is getting a big update along with the new Mac OS, High Sierra. It’s called Metal 2, and Apple is saying that it will be 10 times better at draw call throughput than the original Metal. It’s also promising a faster frame rate debugger. This will help games run better on Mac OS computers.
