So it's Vulkan on top of Metal. Should performance be ok?

  At least Dota runs faster in Mac via this than via OpenGL. https://www.phoronix.com/image-viewer.php?id=vulkan-on-mac&image=vulkan_apple_3_lrg https://www.phoronix.com/image-viewer.php?id=vulkan-on-mac&i... https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=vulkan-on-mac&num=1 https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=vulkan-o...

  Early indications[0] show it appears to be okay, and by okay, I mean better than Apple's OpenGL stack. This is a subset of Vulkan, but it appears to be a broad enough subset to enable at least some game developers to more or less use the same code base.

  It's specifically a subset of Vulkan that can run with essentially zero round-trip penalty. The subset is almost all of Vulkan anyway.
