gfxCardStatus

Monitor and switch dual graphics

Description

On older dual-GPU MacBook Pros, the system auto-switches between integrated and discrete graphics, and you don't know which is active or how much the discrete GPU drains. gfxCardStatus clarifies it: shows which GPU is in use in the menu bar, and can force the power-saving integrated GPU.

Features



GPU Status: Shows the active GPU in the menu bar.

Force Integrated: Lock to the power-saving GPU.

Battery Optimization: See the discrete GPU's power use.
