None of the 'Metal' sample apps seem to want to work on my machine; tried both 10.11.4,10.11.5; this appears to be the most meaningful message:

I am quite sure that Xserve models do not support Metal. You seem to have upgraded the GPU, but I guess that the drivers do not support that particular configuration

Metal is only supported on Macs released in 2012 or later. XServe was discontinued in January 2011.

This appears to imply that anything with a GTX 400 or later should work: http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/which-macs-support-os-x-el-capitans-metal

Perhaps more appropriate / understandable error messages could be helpful (?)...

'should work' and 'supported' aren't promised to be the same thing, depending on which side of that fence you're on 😉

Bug report link below left for filing against the tools when there are things like this you'd like to see, etc.


But yes, seems that such msgs. are one area that always needs work before everyone is happy, I think.

I've submitted four crash logs so far (as well as sending one to NVidia).
