Any possibility using only the built-in GPU?

Mac OS X 10.11.6

MacBook Pro(Retina,15 ",2015 mid)

With graphics cards AMD one dedicated

I wonder if it is possible to use only the GPU integrated while playing games. Cause I discovered that some games are no need to use the AMD GPU, but it is automatically switched to the dedicated GPU and drains the battery.

Hope there is a solution for this problem. Thank you!

It is somehow a conditional scenario suggested in this article

on how to make some graphics settings may remain in service, here:

• Set performance on MacBook Pro - Apple Support chart

• MacBook Pro: how determine what GPU is in use - Apple Support

{These links seem to show older versions of material your model}.

Don't know if there is a way hidden within the system to change the default to

stay on the one you want to be the first choice; Maybe in the command 'terminal '?

In any case...

Good luck in this case!

  • How to insert Unicode characters (such as arrows) using only the keyboard in any app? EnableHexNumpad is always required in Windows 7?

In Vista, it was possible (but heavy) to insert special characters using the keyboard with the method known as Alt-plus, which has only first need to add EnableHexNumpad to the registry *.

  • Is it possible to create a PDF file using only the pages of an existing PDF?

    Is it possible to create a PDF file using only the pages of an existing PDF?

    Hi drdanger,

    There is a way, and it requires Acrobat. You need Acrobat to extract pages from a PDF. You are welcome to try free for 30 days, Acrobat, if you haven't already. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

    If Acrobat, you choose extract in the Pages of the Toolbox pane, then specify which pages you want to extract. These pages are extracted to a new PDF file, which then you name and save it.

  • OfficeJet 4630: 4630 can print grayscale using only the black cartridge?

    I have purchased a printer 4630 and want to use it like I did my old PSC1350 - using only the black cartridge for all printing. I can't find any setting of grey for the 4630 that will allow for this. With the 1350, the grayscale setting would prevent any color ink cartridges is used, an unnecessary expense for printing in black on white paper.

    If there is no setting on the 4630 grey scale, can I be sure that black ink is used only for printing without color?

    Hello @clif9710!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    Your printer Officejet 4630 should be able to print in gray scale and the options should be in the window of the printer printing preferences.  I was able to locate a document regarding the changing settings in windows 7 print.

    If you do not get the options to print in gray scale you will need to uninstall the HP software, including the old software, restart the computer and re-install the HP Officejet 4630 software again.

    To uninstall the software HP click here: uninstall the HP software

    To download the HP software, click here: driver and software Officejet 4630

    Another good thing about the Officejet 4630 is that it allows to print mode single cartridge.  cartridges for your printer built in print heads which means that it requires no 2 print cartridges.  If you never use the Tricolor cartridge or you are planning on printing in black, you can remove the Tricolor cartridge, put the cap of the cartridge down and close the lid.  The printer should now say "mode single cartridge printing.  Once the printer is closed upwards, you can send your print job and it will print using only the black cartridge one!

    Thanks again for posting on the forums of HP and post back and let me know how it goes!

    Hello leo_joel,

    Yes, you can use it without battery.

    But I would recommend that it is glued to, cause the powermanager will load automatically for the health of the battery.

    Also it s quiet possible, that your won´t system running at full capacity, if the battery is glued on.

  • Use only the IP address of operation EBS

    Dear all,

    I have a question, can I use only the IP address of operation EBS?
    Instead of host configuration.

    Non - Oracle EBS uses the hostname in all the files of configuration and IP address only is not hardcoded in the files (except in some tables). So, you must always have a good hostname. Domainname in your hosts file.

    Thank you

    Hi Kazim,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    In addition, I really appreciate your efforts by providing descriptive information on the issue. However, I would like to know some more information to refine the question and provide you with better assistance.

    1. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
    2. The problem is specific to the built-in weather app?
    3. Do you use a proxy connection to connect to the internet?
    4. You have security software installed on your computer?

    The question may arise if there is a corruption in the specific application, due to internet connection proxy, date and time incorrect or due to one-third of the anti-virus firewall is blocking the connection. Therefore, in order to diagnose and resolve the issue, I suggest you to try the following steps and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    Please go to the link below, download the file and run it.

    Run applications troubleshooting

    Download and run the troubleshooter modern UI App.

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you try the steps mentioned below and see if it works for you.

    Step 1:

    Ensure that User Account Control (UAC) is enabled. Press the Windows key and from the splash screen, type "UAC" and on the right, select settings.
    Select change user account control settings and check here.

    Step 2:

    Check that the Date & time zone is correct or not:

    Follow these steps to change the time.

    1. Double-click the current time on the lower right of your screen.
    2. Then click on change time date, and then click change time zone.
    3. Select your time zone and check automatically adjust the clock for the time, then press OK.
    4. Then press on apply and OK.

    Method 3:

    If you got in third-party antivirus installed on your computer, I suggest you temporarilydisable it. The third of the anti-virus firewall sometimes became a major cause of the issue.

    If the problem does not occur after you turn off the anti-virus, try reinstalling the anti-virus.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

    Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  • Is it possible to order the right recovery disk set by using only the serial number?

    Hello

    I'm trying to order a set of recovery disc for what is customized for VAIO laptop. I would like to be able to put it back exactly the same way that they were shipped originally. For some strange reason, because I was not asked for S/N, I know that I will not ship the correct game.

    Since there is no return on the software, how can I be sure it's the correct game before ordering? Is their way to get the part number control myself using only S/N, if not, how about raising via serial number?

    I've already tried this https://servicesales.sel.sony.com/ecom/accessories/web/categorySearch.do?operation=subCategorySearch... but do not recover my particular model because it is Canadian model purchased.

    Your help is really appreciated.

    Thank you for your support.

    They are here:

    MODEL: PCG - 31112L

    MODEL NAME: VPCZ1390S (was a personal shopping via the online order of Sony of Canada with additional features and applications added - more than the Basic with the same model name model).

    Please consult this site raw and obsolete from where it was originally custom. Although it is more useful, but it can provide an idea of what I mean, the link is http://store.sony.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SYCTOProcess?storeId=20153&langId=200&catalogId=10080...

    I think the specific set of recovery disks only who would be able to restore this address to his State of origin as the day, it was shipped via Sony, should be stopped by S/N and perhaps along the ST as well. If it is ordered using just the model and or the name of the template, the result would be a generic RDS used on all of the same model and would not now for his counterpart custom, with still the same exact model information.

    SERIAL NUMBER: J004DSU8

    SERIAL NUMBER: 54047221-0000247

  • Portege Z830: I want to disable internal LCD and use only the external monitor

    I have a Toshiba Portege z830.
    I use my laptop in "Extended desktop", mode with an external monitor, which is the main display.
    In this mode, the two screens are still on, but I want the built-in LCD screen to be opened only when I use it.

    Is this possible?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    In my opinion, this is not possible.
    In extended mode, you use and display internal but extended and the long part is visible on the external monitor.
    In such a case its any that your external monitor is set as main display.

    If you want to use an external monitor only, you can only export the video signal on external monitor by pressing FN + F5
