GTX 680 performance in World of Warcraft (Metal vs. OpenGL)

[originalmagneto]

Hi, just out of curiosity, is there anybody running World of Warcraft Legion with this card? If so, could you report on the difference between Metal and OpenGL modes?

My personal experience is that Metal speeds up the graphics performance significantly when compared to Open GL, maybe on par with DirectX on Windows.

Maybe, elaborate on graphics performance in other games or apps? Is the Metal framework running ok when using the Nvidia web drivers on this specific card?

Thanks.

Running on AMD rx480 and yes it speeds up but crashes pretty often. Problem seems to be more related to Metal driver on mac os. As i get also crashes with Mad Max under mac and think the Feral interactive made mad max use Metal over opengl.

Cannot play Wow with opengl as everything seems to be more "choppy". Lots of microstuttering. Only way for me is to use Metal but suffer constant crashed/reboots randomly.
