Games won't use Metal unless coded to use it. And no game has been updated to use it yet. So strange you would see a dramatic improvement in games already.
I too have seen much much better performance in some Blizzard games.

Weird. Could it be a temporary replacement for the boot argument so that developers don’t have to use the recovery system as long as the beta lasts? Using another Terminal command would defeat one of the purposes of SIP if programs can still prompt the user to change this and ask them to restart. Having this non-automatic connection to the off switch is what makes SIP so appealing as a security mechanism.
I don't know, but if this becomes an issue I can see a lot of power users won't bother upgrading. Personally, I really need system level access for a variety of reasons.
Sweet! Public should be tomorrow or the day after hopefully.
I actually really notice a big improvement in gaming performance in El Capitan vs Yosemite thanks to metal. Very solid so far.
Don't games need to implement explicit support for Metal in order to gain in performance?Sweet! Public should be tomorrow or the day after hopefully.

Not necessarily since the OS imaging layers have been moved from OpenGL to Metal for those device that are able to run Metal at all. This means you will see some speed improvements in ALL applications on device which are capable of hosting Metal.Don't games need to implement explicit support for Metal in order to gain in performance?
Thanks.... my brother is a game developer as well. He's been working for Microsoft and (now) Disney Interactive. He's been in the business for about 25 years. He develops and tunes game engines. I trust his opinion on this one.
No, it really doesn't take that much to disable it via RecoveryOS, so that's not the reason. They could've just left boot args alone until the beta is done. A lot of effort for no benefits.
It's not yet clear what the purpose of adding this command is yet. We'll have to wait until the final release to see if Apple really just made SIP completely pointless with this command. It's idiotic to go all-in on this only to have it beaten by a simple permission prompt.
You have the option to disable it via the Recovery OS which Apple said is the proper method to disable SIP and will be persistent across OS updates. Like I said earlier, Apple already made it clear that boot args will not be supported on the first day El Cap was announced.
There is no issue here, it is happening the way Apple said it will.
Wonder what bug was so big they had to release a new update so fast.

I guess we should have tried it before we criticised Apple. Upon typing csrutil enable: “csrutil: failed to modify system integrity configuration. This tool needs to be executed from the Recovery OS.”
In other words, this is the operation from the recovery system and it works only there. Was it added only in the latest beta?
Well, PB2 broke USB audio for me. 2 different professional audio interfaces from separate companies, RME and iConnect, unusable. Tested with different computers too. Not that I think that's what made them push this out so fast, but hopefully they squashed it. Can't work on music on the test systems until they do, or I get a FW interface.
Broken in PB3/DB5. As are reminders and the stock widget. Oh, and alert sounds on mail.Has anyone lost iCal events in the 'today' summary widget?
As of either DP4 or DP5 my 'today' calendar widget is only showing my exchange events, but not any events from my 2 standard iCal's (these aren't all day events, either.) Everything is kosher in the actual calendar and it definitely worked before DP4.
Anyone else seen this? Suggestions?
Looks like the same thing that happened to me when I installed DP4. The second time it installed it stuck.This one won't install for me. Does everything as normal, looks like it's installed, then when it reboots I'm still on the previous version and it's still showing in Software Upgrade
I'm sorry, but these "upgrades" are so minor it's unbelievable they're actually releasing this as a newly named OS. Could care less about a new Notes app and where audio is coming from on the web. BFD.
I can't replicate this. I have 3-finger drag enabled and I can drag folders just as before, no extra click needed.EDIT: It seems drag/drop with three fingers is still possible, however with DP5 you now have to tap the trackpad (click) and then drag.
Have the links posted by tywebb (if I remember right) been deleted?
Yeah, man. Such a rip-off, too, at a whopping $0,000.00!
Yeah. The mods didn't like it.
Got banned too.
But I managed to get the ban lifted.
