I’m still on Sequoia because of all the Tahoe complaints. Not so much the rounded corners, but I heard performance was poor. Have updates to Tahoe improved things?
- Shank 3mo agoI’m on an M1 Max device and the GPU performance drops have not gotten back to Sequoia levels on Tahoe patches. Golden Gate hasn’t changed anything either.
- nottorp 3mo agoThey toned down the effects in Golden Gate but the backend is doing the same amount of work to blend all that pointless stuff in. You'd get the performance back if they gave up on the translucently to the point of removing the code.
- LoganDark 3mo agoI'm so upset that Liquid Glass is visibly pixelated now. Like, it's barely even blurred at the least transparent setting -- it just looks like a very obviously downsampled background. Like distractingly/annoyingly downsampled. Ugh!!

- nottorp 3mo agoI'm upset that Apple is wasting my shader transistors on it.
- LoganDark 3mo agoThey're trying to waste it less. For example, it's now very common for me to see it simply not update when I move a window that's behind another window. Which kinda ruins part of the magic for me.
- nottorp 3mo agoI've been there. When Compiz on Linux was all the rage. I grew out of it in like 2-3 months and turned everything off. The problem is with Apple you don't get to turn it off.
- galad87 3mo agoTahoe can't ramp up the GPU frequency fast enough, and many animation like the QuickLook one often run at less than 30 fps. So much fun.
- ihateolives 3mo agoHuh, and I thought it's just my crappy old external monitor.
- ndiddy 3mo agoDoes it get better if you disable transparency in the accessibility settings, or is there no workaround?
- SSLy 3mo agoFor me Tahoe's performance was alright, but cmd-space spotlight search disappeared after second keystroke wayy too often. Reverted to Sequoia.
- chronogram 3mo agoI've always used reduced transparency and reduced animations and haven't noticed any performance issues.
- dgellow 3mo agoDone the same, that should really be the default experience. Reducing animations so often makes things feel snappy again, and less distracting
- AmVess 3mo agoNope. Genuinely made my new Mac Mini feel broken. The only fix was going back to Sequoia.
- Y-bar 3mo agoPerformance was so-so, some minor degradations on my Studio. No change comparing today to half a year ago. But my Apple TV 4K 2nd Generation turned into a 15 fps mess until I turned off the worst parts of transparency effects.
