Good day, I have MBP 15" late 2013 with Nvidia GT 750M and I faced with the follow problem:

If I switch GPU to Nvidia, I get freezes in the OSX interface. For example, when I'm opening Launchpad or folders attached to the Dock. When I launch Illustrator, Photoshop and Skype together, all animation goes very slow - frame by frame...

I installed Nvidia drivers and made all actions according to this tutorial https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4373147. No result

If I use internal GPU only, no problems happening, all is smoothly.

A short pre-history: I've moved all data from my previous Macbook pro 13 mid 2012 (non retina) by Time Machine. No errors during data transferring happened.



Please advise...

The dGPU could be dodgy they are the most likely laptop component to fail.
