GPTK 4 handles the translation. Velocity handles what Apple doesn't — DLSS routing, crash diagnosis, anti-cheat bridging, Frame Gen policy, per-game profiles. How it works →

Under the hood

The intelligence layer Apple doesn't provide.

🔮

DLSS → MetalFX (Automatic)

GPTK 4's nvngx-on-metalfx shim intercepts every DLSS call from Windows games and routes it to Apple's Neural Engine. DLSS Quality, Balanced, Performance, and Frame Generation all work — automatically, with no setup. Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, The Witcher 4: if the game supports DLSS, Velocity handles the rest.

Metal 4 Frame Generation

Metal 4's Frame Interpolator generates synthetic frames between rendered frames using the Neural Engine. A game at 60fps displays at 120fps at near-zero GPU cost. Velocity's AI policy engine engages and disengages it automatically based on your hardware tier — no configuration, no flickering, no artifacts.

🧠

Neural Engine AI Performance

Every 500ms, Foundation Models analyzes your live frame metrics and recommends whether to engage FrameGen, upscaling, or denoising. The AI runs on-device on the Neural Engine — private, instant, zero network. On Metal 4 hardware it uses structured ML inference. On older chips it uses hardware-tier heuristics.

🛡️

Protected Game Compatibility

EasyAntiCheat and BattlEye are handled at two levels. GPTK 4 improves Wine-layer compatibility for common check patterns. Velocity's DriverKit virtual HID presents a real Xbox 360 controller to the IORegistry — anti-cheat ring-0 hardware surveys see genuine hardware.

Apple Silicon — All the Way Down

macOS Game Mode routes Wine to P-cores with maximum scheduler priority. E-cores handle background threads. VideoToolbox streams at 2% CPU. ProMotion auto-promotes to 120fps. Unified memory exposes the full RAM pool as VRAM — GPTK 4 no longer artificially caps it at 512MB.

🎮

Every Controller, Fully Featured

Xbox, DualSense, Switch Pro, PSVR2 Sense, and MFi controllers all work through Velocity's DriverKit HID layer. DualSense gets full adaptive trigger resistance and HD rumble — the game sends a haptic command, Velocity translates it to CoreHaptics.

🔬

AI Crash Intelligence

When a game crashes, Foundation Models generates a plain-English explanation on your device — private, instant, no data leaves your Mac. "The game crashed because EAC couldn't find x3daudio.dll." Not a hex dump. A sentence with a fix.

📡

Hardware HEVC Streaming

Stream to Twitch or Kick at 2% CPU using Apple's dedicated HEVC encoder. M5 Pro/Max uses AV1 for local recordings. 30-second clip buffer runs continuously — ⌘⇧R saves the last 30 seconds without interrupting your stream.
