    running Windows with fully disabled dGPU on an old MBP

    Hi everyone. I'll describe my setup and what I have already tried first. I have installed Big Sur on MacBookPro6,2 (15'' mid-2010) via OCLP. Then I decided to install Windows 10 in (U)EFI mode. Officially my mbp supports only 8.1 via non-UEFI (legacy) mode. Currently Windows works fine, both...

    Strange lines on screen - 2019 MBP 16".

    Hello guys. After using the laptop for some days in clamshell using an external monitor (as fix for high wattage usage when using two monitors), My screen showed this strange lines and dots. I assume it was caused by heat transferred to the display. I realized this almost finishing my day work...

    iMac with dGPU, does it use the Intel GPU?

    So I have a 2017 5K iMac, which of course includes a dedicated AMD GPU, the Radeon Pro 570. I know the CPU is the i5-7500, which includes the HD 630 graphics. All this time, I assumed that the system didn't use the Intel GPU for anything, but I came across some interesting findings that suggest...

    Is it possible??...a long-term "solution" for 2011 dGPU failure that defaults the system to the iGPU

    The 15-inch 2011 MacBook Pro is something that Apple and AMD both probably wish to put behind them. However, for those that own the computers, doing so isn't quite as easy, because they are aware that they have a fully functional computer, minus one part, and that the system itself ironically...

    2.6/512/460 or 2.7/512/455?

    Ok. I am deciding between these two configurations and I am stuck. I am a somewhat heavy Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign and I've just started learning programming, which I hope will be something I'm gonna do in the future. I barely do any video editing, and I do not see myself doing it in the...

    External GPU for New MacBook Pro with TouchBar

    Has anyone tried using an external GPU through USB-C on the new MacBook Pro with TouchBar to know if it works? Would be great if we could use a much more powerful GPU with these new MacBook Pros for Gaming if wanted.

    Intel HD Graphics 530 on new MBP 15"

    I was wondering, now that we've lost Iris Pro as the baseline integrated graphics, how does the performance stack up on day to day usage for the new MacBook Pro 15" with Touch Bar using only integrated graphics Intel HD Graphics 530? I'm not talking about heavy graphics/video editing. Just...

    dGPU or not?

    Question: I haven't seen a quorum on this topic so I'm raising the topic and if anyone else has an opinion let me know.... I'm buying a 15" rMBP when they come out and am seriously considering buying the 2GB dGPU. I know the answer depends on what I do - I'm not a gamer, occasionally...

    Options for running 3x ACD 30" off GT 750m

    Looking for a method to use my rMBP GT 750m as a desktop replacement. Apple advertises the system as "able to drive 2x displays at 2560x1600" however, I have been able to get 2x 2560x1600 (dual MDP) and 1x 1280x800 (over HDMI). Given the system can drive 2x 4K Displays (~16.58 million pixels)...
