OS X WoW Legion supports metal and is much faster than the older version

Exciting news. Keep hearing about Metal for a long time and couldn't help but notice that NO game supported it. Until yesterday that is, with the new Legion expansion.

It seems the Metal version is 60% faster than the old OpenGL version:

There's already some talk about this in an earlier thread. Metal support has been available for about six weeks; you do not need to buy the expansion to get it.

Thanks for pointing that out, I missed that one before. I also saw an article on cio.com talking about "significant" improvements (http://www.cio.com/article/3097642/...es-a-big-difference-in-world-of-warcraft.html) but it's interesting to see some real figures from real-world benchmarks.
