The Draw Distance slider in the video settings does nothing. Deleting the profile folder or repairing the installation has no effect.

Do you mean View Distance, perhaps?The Draw Distance slider in the video settings does nothing. Deleting the profile folder or repairing the installation has no effect.
There's a tremendous difference between 0 and 100, the changes will manifest themselves gradually over a few seconds after moving the slider.
View Distance at 0:
View Distance at 100:
Notice how this does not only affect which objects are drawn (e.g. distant trees and rocks) , but the LOD of textures as well (e.g. on the nearer Ayleid architecture).
What is your general Graphics Quality setting? On lower qualities, View Distance might not make as large a difference as on higher quality. There's still a difference between choosing a higher general Graphics Quality setting and then tuning single options down, than the other way around.
How much VRAM does your Mac have? Or does it use shared/UMA system RAM for Intel graphics?
Ever since patch 1.6, there has been a minimum requirement of 2 GB VRAM for Ultra quality in place. Even on lower settings, the engine might not draw as much if VRAM is < 1 GB.
