![]() I can say that the original brief about OS X/iOS 9 switching to San Francisco was pretty popular, so obviously there's some interest at least among Ars readers.Īs a fairly recent mac owner (a year? maybe?) all this attention to useless font change is so irritating, because you can't change font size globally in OSX! Something I had no idea of until I got tired eyes late at night about a month ago - this is a basic setting, I thought, for every OS. Pretty interesting if you care about this stuff at all. I've been watching a bunch of WWDC videos and I've been mostly off the internet since WWDC so I actually watched the session before I saw Gruber link it. I'm genuinely curious as to how much interest in typography really is out there?ĭaring Fireball is the only site I've seen that consistently discussed it, but I always considered it a more or less narrow interest. I've seen this very thing linked to on at least two Apple blogs, and now on Ars. If you're interested in San Francisco, there's a good WWDC session available in the app that outlines the differences between these fonts (included in both iOS 9 and El Capitan) and the San Francisco Compact variant that ships on the Apple Watch. This would add a few Intel HD labeled and all Intel HD 2500 class graphics to the supported list. Intel graphics belonging to Ivy Bridge, Haswell and Broadwell based CPUs all likely support Metal. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a Metal driver for them. Due to nVidia rebranding several chips, some of the GTX 500 series was re-introduced into the 600 series with slightly different clock speeds and memory amounts, though I'm not sure if any Macs used any of the GTX500 to GTX600 rebrands.Īlso not listed is the Geforce GTX 900 series which works fine in 2008 to 2012 Mac Pros with nVidia's web driver. None of these cards are particularly fast compared to the what is out today but it nice to see continued support. The nVidia side of things might be a bit wider as nVidia is supporting DX12 and Vulkan going back a bit further: to the Geforce 400 and 500 series. My guess would be Radeon HD 7000 series and later. ![]() I wouldn't expect Metal to work on Radeon 50 series as AMD isn't supporting these chips with other low level APIs like DirectX 12, Vulkan and even their own Mantle API.
