I'm asking since System Preferences only has a checkbox for "Automatic Graphics Switching", and disabling that enables the discrete GPU irrespective of app needs. (I know, those apps should be bug-fixed, but in reality it's just a very common problem.) I'd still appreciate a fix since "Integrated Only" can be very handy with apps forcing the discrete GPU (and eating lots of battery) for no reason. This is on a 2017 MBP with gfxCardStatus v2.5 on macOS 10.14.6, but was the same on many previous versions of either. Having the same issue and been having it for ages-clicking on "Integrated Only" makes the cursor flicker a bit, sets the check mark at "Discrete Only" (?!) while in reality the system is still on Dynamic Switching (as confirmed by Activity Monitor, System Preferences > Energy Saver and gfxCardStatus' own menu bar icon).Ĭlicking "Integrated Only" repeatedly does not help, and it doesn't matter whether I start from "Discrete Only" being active (which does work properly) or from "Dynamic Switching". It's not the end of the world for me either way.just wanted you to have another data point. I've been reading #310 to see if there are good hints for fixes and will continue down that trail. ![]() It can also allow users to manually switch graphics output to their built-in Intel Core GPU or discrete GPU (such as AMD or Nvidia ). If I exit gfxcardstatus and start it again, it goes back to "i" and the integrated GPU. gfxCardStatus is an open source menu bar app for macOS that was developed by Cody Krieger to monitor graphics activity in MacBook Pro models with multiple GPUs. This stays the same no matter how many times 5 is repeated. Select "Integrated Only" again - no change - still has "d" in bar, no notification popup, checkmark is by "Integrated Only" but still shows "GPU AMD Radeon Pro 5500M" in dropdown.Select "Integrated Only" - still has "d" in bar, no notification popup, checkmark is by "Integrated Only" but still shows "GPU AMD Radeon Pro 5500M" in dropdown.Info System Report) later we will see that gfxCardStatus makes it even easier.
