Metal rendering causes stuttering (11.2.6)

Has anyone else been having stuttering issues with the GUI with metal rendering enabled? As soon as I pass the flag "-DisableGraphicsHardwareAcceleration" in Options.txt, it stops straight away. This issue has persisted between two Macs now, each with separate fresh installs, and different versions of Live 11.

They're not as bad as they used to be, but it appears in the form of micro-stutters when playing or navigating tracks.

Are you on High Sierra?
The option is disabled by default as of L11.2.10b1 as you can see here.

Oops, sorry I should have posted my specs.

macOS 12.6.1 (21G217)
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)
Memory: 16GB

That's the weird thing. Didn't know High Sierra was having issues with Metal rendering too. Seems that it also translates to macOS Monterey too. Ableton is running natively too if that helps, not under Rosetta.

Sorry I didn't see your answer.
If you're on Monterey then I have no clue, you're better off reaching out to Support
