Hello. With support for High Sierra ending soon, I'm thinking of upgrading to macOS Mojave using dosdude1's Mojave Patcher Tool for Unsupported Macs. My question is it worth the upgrade in terms of performance when livestreaming using OBS? I'll have to disable the AMD GPU 'cause of the transition to Apple's Metal graphics API. Does anyone know if OBS's performance under Metal is worse or not, especially on older hardware? Although, OBS performs okay on High Sierra, it has some issues like encoding overload when bitrate is too high (3000+ kbps @720p) or I can't use any slower preset than Very Fast. I'm hoping Mojave has better performance with OBS. Any advice is appreciated.
Install Mojave On Late 2011 Macbook Pro; Late 2011 Macbook Pro Ram; Apple's new macOS Mojave doesn't support the old Macs prior to 2012. It was a shocking news for me too.

Macbook Pro 2011 Mojave Patcher Download
Feb 05, 2021 Work with Mac Pro, iMac and MacBook Pro computers released in early 2008, Aluminum Unibody MacBooks or MacBooks Air manufactured in late 2008. Manage boot settings. The 1.3.7 version of macOS Mojave Patcher for Mac is available as a free download on our website. The actual developer of this free software for Mac is Collin Mistr. I have a late macbook pro 2011 and i'd like to update to Mojave but it says my machine isn't new enough? Is this correct and is there a reason a macbook that is only 7 years old cannot be updated to the new software? Doesn't seem to make any sense why it's not compatible.
