Apple's MetalFX finally caught up with DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4, while working on all Apple M-series chips and running on the 16-core Neural Engine. What now?
usecase?

>>108643452>DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4These are not the same thing, so is MetalFX actually on par with NV, which would be big news, or closer to AMD shit, which would be a total nothingburger.
Too bad Macs and iOS are not good gaming platforms exactly because of how Apple goes about software distribution. If you buy a $60 game for your Mac on the AppStore, there's no guarantee it'll be taken off the store after the publisher hasn't updated the game for five years.t. had to back up and restore many iOS apps over the year, a practice Apple is making more difficult as time goes on, as example newer devices can't run some older apps only because certificates became out of date
>>108643452Who cares? The OS is still unusable
>>108643514You just know an AyyMDfag made that post
>>108643452how? isn't metalFX just a fork of FSR2
>>108643452No one cares. They already killed gaming on Mac when they dropped Vulkan, devs will port to Linux rather than Mac now.
>>108643528it think it's because of signing cert expiration, if the dev doesn't resign their apps they just stop working and apple deletes them from the store. i have some old .ipa files and i can't even sideload them because the cert expired
>>108643528Windows' backwards compatibility is pretty good naturally and on Loonix, you can use namespaces like the Steam Linux runtimes + the Linux Kernel's promise not to break userland.Apple has nothing like this. The OS updates, software stops working, the dev never publishes a fix -> Your license is worthless. Every purchase you make from the App Store is a ticking time bomb.
>>108643569the retarded devs who use unstable swiftUI garbage are the issue
>>108643528Does apple not use trusted timestamping for code signatures? lollmao
>>108643452>Apple's MetalFX finally caught up with DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4,well DLSS 4.5 is like 10x better than FSR4 so whatever OP is talking about is bullshit
>>108643581It's not just that. Everything about macOS is unstable and prone to change between OS releases. The very CPU architecture or bitness you use. The libraries you link against. The kernel and its extensions. Which files and directories you may access. Capabilities your software has to interact with the OS interface.The ABI is an incredible mess that's hidden by monstrous Xcode provided abstraction layers during development, yet surfaces on every new OS release. Apple doesn't deprecate. Apple just removes without warning and if an app you rely on breaks and it won't get upgraded, you're fucked.
>>108643915all my software i wrote 10 years ago still works on modern macOS without any modifications, swiftUI breaks every year so if you value your time you should avoid it
Does it matter when there's like 3 games on macOS?20% of my steam library is in there, maybe less than that. Some older macOS games are not there anymore. I cannot play almost any valve games released ages ago. When I download CS:2 it installs CS:GO. 2D games have some frameskipping. I have this option to enable adaptive sync in macOS, but does it work? Nope. Not unless I'm using an application like VRRTest to test it out or watching some video. Games just don't like this.Apple should have invested in gaming 30 years ago, not now. Show a list of actual games that use their APIs. I can only think of mobile shit.
>>108643514>>108643556>>108643668MetalFX has two presets, Performance and Quality. Performance is more like FSR 1 quality-wise, while Quality is more like between FSR 3 and FSR 4. The good thing is that Apple improves the GPU annually, but does not raise the price, unlike every other GPU manufacturer.
>>108643452Fagos metal shit. Should have just used vulkan instead of being turbo pozzed aids ridden faggots.
>>108643528you don't have to sell on the app store for mac desktopsthis board is so embarassing
>just use our programming languages and APIs we made up and no one else uses that we'll deprecate in 6 years brono thanks
>>108643567resign them
>>108647965All Intel apps will stop working on M-chip Macs starting with the OS they release this year. It's not just the App Store, it's the platform. The App Store is just a good explanation as to why it's such a shitty platform for gaming.
>>108648381>"just pick three of them you'd want the most and re-sign them every week unless you want to pay $100/yr"
>>108643452gamers don't want that trash it's not DLSS
I think the only thing this is good for is creative programs not gamesAffinity runs much faster on macOS with metal enabled than Windows with openCL or whatever the fuck.
