I just installed your app, and am at home, unable to test it fully. You will be redirected to an external server. 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. App requires for the download that your device have minimum MacOS system version Windows 10. If I try to mess around with windows that pop up/restore during load up, it usually grey-screen crashes until gfxcardstatus icon in the tray specifically has changed to the 'i' indicator. I have it set as a login item to switch to integrated upon user login.

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. Mine STAYS as INTEGRATED on OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 using gfxcardstatus 1.8.1.
#GFXCARDSTATUS 1.8.1 UPDATE#
This seems to be an Apple bug triggered by some update in the past couple of months, at least on my MBP.

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).

Automatically updates when the GPU switches, in real time. Features: Simple, clean 'i' and 'n' icons that signify Intel HD Graphics, and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics, respectively. 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 a free menu bar application that keeps track of which graphics card your MacBook Pro is using at any given time.
