Re: Metal system trace Instruments tool for OS X

I am also looking forward to an Instruments Metal System Trace tool for OS X. It's really the one missing piece devs need for porting/creating high performance apps on OS X. Hopefully we will see an unveiling of a new tool at WWDC '16.

This is now available with the Instruments 8 beta.

I have Xcode Beta 8 and I can't use it (Metal System Trace). It says "This device is lacking the Metal capability" in fine print on the right side of the Instruments screen. Do I have to install OS X Sierra Beta, too? And yeah, that would be pretty cool tool to use.
Regards
Michal

Yes, macOS Sierra is required. The necessary support for tracing Metal related events was not present in earlier OSes.

I have the same message than Michal ("This device is lacking the Metal capability") after launching Intruments 8 on El Capitan.
Is Sierra required ?

Yes iPerKard, as grzywacz mentions both Sierra and Instruments 8 are required for using the Metal System Trace template in Instruments on macOS
