I have two other computers with Win 10 that can do it. I have had to remove UltraScenery XT until it can be updated for the latest MacOS Monterey update that was released a few days before USXT was released for sale in the store. I have a MacBook Pro M1, 16 GB, 1TB with one external HD for Daz's content, and that is now almost full. I've seen one report of DAZ Studio not running on an M1 Mac with the latest OS X Monterey version (12.3).some other renderers are, however, optimized to work on Apple Silicon I believe that this is true of Octane and the renderers in Blender 3.x.it is very very unlikely that there will ever be a version of Iray that uses Metal to speed up Iray rendering by accessing the native GPU cores in the M1 SoC (or future Apple Silicon SoCs).recent versions of the Qt toolkit used to implement the DAZ Studio UI may leverage Apple's Metal API for improved UI performance it's not clear to me which version of Qt is in the newest DAZ Studio versions.a little faster than my older 2018 Intel Mac Book Pro. the power of the M1 chip means that emulated CPU rendering performance is comparable to CPU rendering on previous Intel Macs ( '.because Iray's CPU rendering code targets Intel processors, rendering code uses Apple's Rosetta 2 system for transpilation/emulation, resulting in a performance hit.because Iray depends on Nvidia GPUs, and no M1 Mac has an Nvidia GPU, all Iray renders on M1 Macs will use the CPU for rendering.versions of DAZ Studio from 4.16 onward will run on modern versions of MacOS and on Apple Silicon (M1) Macs.As I understand it, based on what I've read on the forums, the situation is this:
