It seems. like that the latest V8 fixed many issue of TestMetal
For me V8 WIP was really unusable inTM since the viewport continued to go BLACK and nothing worked other than closing and reopening Rhino itself.
I’ll try to test this build on my MBP M1Pro too to check as well.
This is the SysInfo from my Mini M1:
