Metal is Apple's proprietary graphics API which fully superseded OpenGL rendering of the operating system starting from macOS Mojave. When the word "Non-Metal" is used, it describes GPUs that are not Metal supported and require using OpenGL instead. Metal is Apple's proprietary graphics API which fully superseded OpenGL rendering of the operating system starting from macOS Mojave. When the word "Non-Metal" is used, it describes GPUs that are not Metal supported and require using OpenGL instead.
A great rule of thumb is that Macs older than 2012 are non-Metal, with the exception of systems having upgradable GPUs.
GPUs that support Metal are as follows: GPUs that support Metal are as follows:
* Intel HD 4000 series (Ivy Bridge/3rd gen) and newer * Intel HD 4000 series (Ivy Bridge/3rd gen) and newer
* AMD HD 7000 series and newer (GCN 1) * AMD HD 7000 series and newer (GCN 1)
* NVIDIA GTX 600 and 700 series (Kepler) * NVIDIA GTX 600 and 700 series (Kepler)
Everything older than mentioned are Non-Metal and therefore only support OpenGL. A great rule of thumb is that Macs older than 2012 are non-Metal, with the exception of systems with upgradable GPUs. Non-Metal also includes NVIDIA Maxwell (GTX 900 series) and Pascal (GTX 1000 series) when used with patched Web Drivers on newer than macOS High Sierra.

Refer to [Supported models](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.html) and [Working Around Non-Metal Issues](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/ACCEL.html) pages for more information. Due to deprecation of OpenGL, many newer applications may require Metal rendering and as such will fail to run on systems with Non-Metal GPUs. Some built-in apps like Maps and everything relying on it (such as Find My) will fail to render as well on versions later than Big Sur.
