Hey guys!
I posted just before about Metal Performance Shaders - This is a different question so I'll give it its own thread
. When I try and list available Metal devices, I get an array with GPUs (of course), but my GPU has this peculiar tag:
BronzeMtlDevice
What makes it a "Bronze" device?
My MacBook Pro's Iris Pro GPU is called an MTLAcc or something along those lines (Am not able to check right now). I assume they have different tags because of the different memory architectures, but what are the possible tags? I've seen elsewhere that a MacPro 6.1 with D700s is also listed as BronzeMTLDevice (for both). Are there other categories? Is it just about memory? Any reasoning behind the naming?
Thanks in advance
