For example if I open the photos app, and then quit it, the card switches to discrete. Its confusing for the average user: What improves my battery time again: 'I' or. It helps a little bit, but is far from a solution as there are many things that force it to switch to discrete. The ‘i’ icon in menu bar signifies that Intel graphic cars is being used.

The utility operates from system menu bar, and keeps a check on available graphic units. gfxCardStatus is an open-source menu bar application that keeps track of which graphics card your unibody, dual-GPU MacBook Pro is using at any given time, and allows you to switch between them on demand.

As far as I can tell, the app does permit power-source-based switching without the login display resolution problem! I have to test the effects on an external projector display next week when I'm in a classroom, however it may limit the resolution available to me when running on battery power and connecting a projector. Good program, but options should not be called Integrated and Discrete. gfxCardStatus is an open-source menu bar application that keeps track of which graphics card your dual-GPU (late 2008/2009 w/ 9400M/9600M GT, or 2010 i5/i7 w/ Intel HD/330M) MacBook Pro is using. gfxCardStatus is an application for MacBook Pro, which not only shows the current graphic card, but also lets you switch between internal and discrete graphic cards with a click. This application allows me to choose the card to use when I want to save battery power and have no external display connected.īut it resets automatic switching if it was turned off before the app was run. Graphics switching to Discrete after all dependencies close. It seems that you need to force the system to use the nvidia chip before CUDA will work. These things ship with Intel HD graphics & nvidia GT 330M graphics. If you’re experiencing bad battery life on your Mac, check out gfxCardStatus.
Gfxcardstatus keeps switching mac#
I prefer to keep it set to the Dynamic Switching algorithm and only when I’m trying to conserve battery life, force my Mac to use integrated graphics. I can switch to my integrated graphics by booting into safe mode. Hello everyone, Am trying to tinker with CUDA on a new MacBook Pro machine. gfxCardStatus is a really handy way to keep tabs on what your Mac is doing automatically.
Gfxcardstatus keeps switching update#
This seems to be an Apple bug triggered by some update in the past couple of months, at least on my MBP. GfxCardStatus is a free menu bar application that keeps track of which graphics card. You can't get back the highest resolution and have black bars at the top and bottom of the screen (the higher resolution setting is not available on the integrated card, and for some reason the system won't permit the change). On some Macs with dual cards, such as my 2011 MBP, use of the Energy Saver automatic graphics switching will trigger a display problem when logging out and logging back in: the display will be stuck on a lower-resolution option until restart.
