If you ever want to know which graphics card your Apple MacBook Pro is using, then gfxcardstatus is the perfect utility. I just installed your app, and am at home, unable to test it fully. Editor: gfxCardStatus is an open-source menu bar application that keeps track of which graphics card your 2010 (and now 2009) MacBook. The MacBook Pro has what is called switchable or dynamic switching graphics. 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. I was having trouble on startup because gfxCardStatus would load after other applications which used the Discrete graphics card already started (eg Chrome).
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.
Gfxcardstatus update#
This seems to be an Apple bug triggered by some update in the past couple of months, at least on my MBP. Una buena opción, es como hago ya hace unos años, forzar la tajeta adicional con gfxCardStatus Web: Me evito el consumo de la VRAM, y el parpadeo de la pantalla de vez en cuando cada vez que me cambia de tarjeta, que realmente es alucinante la de veces que cambia usando la misma aplicación. 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). The best alternative is gSwitch, which is both free and Open Source. There are 1 alternatives to gfxCardStatus for Mac. 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. gfxCardStatus is described as 'menu bar application for OS X that allows users of 15' and 17' late 2008 2014 MacBook Pros to view which GPU is in use at a glance, and switch between them on-demand' and is an app.
