No Implementing Apple MetalFX upscaling and frame generation into a closed-source game like Baldur's Gate 3 on macOS requires graphics driver/API hooking, dynamic library interposition, and deep graphics programming.
What it would actually take: This requires developing a dylib injection/interposition layer (using DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES or Mach-O patching) that intercepts the game's Metal API command buffers, extracts depth, motion vectors, and color buffers, and feeds them into Apple's MetalFX Spatial/Temporal Scaler pipelines before presenting to the CAMetalLayer. This demands advanced knowledge of macOS internals, reverse engineering closed-source rendering pipelines, and modern GPU rendering algorithms.
