    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...

    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...

    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...
