How is Ventura on an Early 2011 13 inch Macbook Pro 8,1 ?

Kindly note :

1. Please DO NOT comment with your success story if you have a 2012 and up Mac. It's useless to me because of the important difference in the 2011 which is that it does not support the Metal API. Metal support enhances performance.

  1. I already have the SSD and RAM upgrades

  2. I have to upgrade in Nov 2024, b/c I need the security in my circumstances.

  3. I'm trying to assess- without trying, the impact of Ventura and whether it'd mean I finally have to buy a new laptop. Trying it myself, at the moment, would be a pain in the ass.

5. So, what bugs and performance decreases can I expect ? Software and hardware wise?

6. If you had Monterey and went to Ventura - If you were to estimate a performance loss in % - (eg. it's 50% worse, 5% worse) what would it be ?

THANKS ALL !! :)
