Zemmir Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I'm using a MB pro 2016 15 inch, so it has 2 graphics cards, an integrated one and a dedicated one. Pro is using the dedicated one, which drains the battery a lot faster. I read only somewhere that the app developer can change this with a line of code. Since PRO can run on mobile phones as well, I think it shouldn't be a problem for the app on macOS to use the integrated graphics card. I would like to ask you to look into this, so I can enjoy pro longer one my battery :P this is the info I found: If you don't believe a particular app should be causing the more power-hungry graphics to turn on, I encourage you to contact the author of the app directly instead of switching to Integrated Only as a workaround. Tell the author that their app is affecting your battery life, and ask them (calmly) to fix it. If any app authors don't know what the problem is or how to fix it, point them to this article on the Apple Developer site.[/quote2] This is the site they link to in the quote above https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1734/_index.html[/quote2] I hope to hear from you, greets, zemmir Link to comment https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/56777-dedicated-graphics-macbook-pro/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatmanclt Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I think I can confirm, I have the same problem with my mac When I start PRO its like I started a Nasa Program on my mac lol, my ventilator start blowing hard... But I can watch a stream on twitch + make video editing on Imovie + use phtoshop in the same time, my ventilator are not going to blow as when PRO is working. Its a bit annoying...
