Just get the source, and compile Boost yourself; it has become very easy. Here is an example for the current version of Boost on the current macOS as of this writing:. Download the the.tar.gz from.Unpack and go into the directory: tar -xzf boost1500.tar.gzcd boost1500.Configure (and build bjam):./bootstrap.sh -prefix=/some/dir/you/would/like/to/prefix.Build:./b2.Install:./b2 installDepending on the prefix you choose in Step 3, you might need to sudo Step 5, if the script tries copy files to a protected location. @MAS (I did not try it today. But the bootstrap.sh should come with the tar.gz file. It configures the build process and creates the bjam build tool. The 'prefix' is a common option for build tools which will be prefixed to the install path.

This means, that if a file would be installed in /bin it will instead be installed in /prefix/bin when the install command is issued. You can use that to avoid permission problems. For example i install optional packages i use for development in /home/snies/opt/bin instead of /bin so i don't need root permissions and don't mess up my system.–Oct 23 '15 at 8:20.

I have a Mac Mini with 1TB of storage. I play lots of games and my frames are not great on some of them. I can get up to maybe 70 FPS on Minecraft if my settings are low and it’s more or less the same on other games. I am unable to buy a new computer that is not Apple because my parents are strong Apple fans and don’t allow it. Follow the video instructions below: YouTube™ Video: CS: GO - How to boost FPS on MAC?

The only situation where this is beneficial is when the Mac version is still using OpenGL, and the Windows version DirectX, since DirectX is vastly superior than OGL. If you have a game with a Metal version of equal caliber (i.e.

NOT Fortnite, of which the Metal version has not been optimized at all), you absolutely can get just as good performance (and in a few cases, better performance on same hardware).DirectX has a jump on Metal in market share purely due to the 20 year head start you mention, however performance wise DX12, Metal, and Vulkan are all on equal playing fields in the hands of a competent developer, DX12 definitely is not automatically better on that front at all. In fact, DirectX is actually catching up to Metal and Vulkan by moving to a 'low level' API model, rather than the high level DX11 and previous, and a sizable contingent consider Metal easier to use than DirectX (both of which are far easier than Vulkan). Not really for the most part, it absolutely is a technical problem in many cases. Fortnite is by far the outstanding offender of poor Metal ports, the rest are overwhelmingly decent in my experience. Because when it come's down to it, if you're making a Metal version, you have staff on your team that are specialized in Metal development, and are thus gonna do it well or at least decent if they're gonna do it at all. That's not to say there never will be poor Metal versions, there definitely will in the same way there are poor DirectX versions, but developers like Feral and Aspyr are killing it right now in the Metal arena, Blizzard's Metal versions are very good for the most part as well. Again, not the case with iMacs and desktop Macs (Mac Pros in this case, which absolutely normal have normal desktop cards, some custom designed for Apple but desktop cards nonetheless, same exact situation with the iMacs, as well as rumored upcoming top end Mac Minis (top end is rumored to be a tower, different from the mid and lower tier) and definitely the modular Mac Pros in 2019).

Macbook's obviously use mobile GPUs because they're laptops, no shit there, that doesn't negate the fact that numerous GPUs in Macbooks can run stuff very well. That’s not an accurate assessment of OpenGL. OpenGL was designed to meet the graphical needs of business/enterprise/scientific applications, any uses for gaming was, more or less, jury rigging the API into a use it wasn’t explicitly designed for. This is why Vulkan was released not as a replacement for OpenGL, as explicitly stated by the Khronos Group, but rather as an API designed front and center for gaming and to do that very well in the proper developer hands. Let me expand, specifically:OpenGL had some glaring flaws if you’re trying to use it specifically for game development which results in much poorer performance compared to Metal, DirectX, and Vulkan, even on the newest versions of OpenGL:. Driver performance (bad). Error handling (bad).

No pre-compiled shaders (very bad). Multithreading is a pain in the ass (very very bad)Among quite a few others, but those are some of the major ones.Metal, DirectX 12, and Vulkan address all of those issues. Honestly, if you support multiple versions of OpenGL in your engine then adding another isn't that hard. I know that people think Graphics libraries are hard, but really they are quite small and simple. Adding support for another graphics library, while extra work, shouldn't break the bank from a dev perspective.Windows was able to run an a better version of OpenGL because Windows never relied on OpenGL for it's graphics stack. An absolutely vital system component like your graphics stack can't be trusted to the newest version of an API created by a third party, so Apple preferred to iron out the kinks of older versions and run them. Not ideal if you want to game, but that was before Apple was making moves to become a better gaming platform via better GPUs and an actual good API to work with (Metal).

Even the newest versions of OpenGL aren't even in the ballpark of Metal/DX/Vulkan’s performance as I said, and are significantly more of a pain to work with as previously mentioned.
