## What is Metal and Non-Metal?
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. 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.
A great rule of thumb is that Macs older than 2012 are non-Metal, with the exception of systems having upgradable GPUs.
