Hi.
I’m on Macbook Pro with AMD Radeon Pro 5500M. For me, in Blender 3.0, it doesn’t show the Cycles preferences at all:
Also, when I choose a GPU rendering device it looks like it’s disabled.
No matter if I choose CPU or GPU it seems it uses CPU in each case (looking at the system monitor).
Blender 3. is failry new, maybe go back to 2.9.# Or even test it with an older version.
For a blender beginner, there is not much need to use 3.#
You might find another Mac user on the GameDev Discord. They are rare! lol. There has been some work by Apple with Blender to get their system to work that I think comes out in the next 3.1. though it is a start on the latest Macs I think and more is being added to aid older machines as they work on it. All Greek to me never touched a Mac.
