Hi, sorry if this is a basic question. Im confused. I have just downloaded 5.2 LTS for mac and in the render settings the render engine is just EEVEE, Workbench, Cycles. Should I have Cycles GPU?

In my Preferences > system > Metal > Apple M1 Max (GPU - 24cores) is selected. Should I be looking somewhere else?

You’re already set. On Mac there is no separate “Cycles GPU” engine. Pick Cycles, then in Render Properties set Device to GPU Compute. Preferences → System → Metal with Apple M1 Max checked is the right place. If GPU Compute is greyed out, uncheck/recheck Metal and restart Blender once.
