GPU on the 15 "2015 model

Hello

I currently have a Macbook Pro 2.4 end 2011, and thought to be replaced by a new model.

Sometimes I use my Macbook for some games (LoL, WoW and stuff like that), as well as for work.

My current Macbook contains the AMD Radeon HD 6770 M and Intel HD Graphics 3000, and I was wondering how the 2.2 GHz 15 "2015 model performs with games, since it contains only the Integrated GPU?

/ Christoffer

Only the 2.5 GHz model and have up to a dual GPU configuration, which includes also 2 GB of VRAM dedicated to the exclusive use of the AMD Radeon R9 M370X high-performance GPU so he doesn't have to fight the CPU for more information. While the new integrated Intel Iris Pro 5200 which is supplied with all models is an improvement on the old Intel HD Graphics 3000, which came in the end MBP 11 (I have one too, am trying to transition to a Mid 15 15 "2.5 GHz MBP), it will not hit someone socks and suffers the same issues shared VRAM all mono-GPU models have. At least all models 15 "get 16 GB of RAM, in these screams last models of the No.-upgradeables-inside sealed.

For this reason even if you plan staying on the Mac platform, better kill the piggy bank and get the largest model you she can train is all you will get to the end of his days. Not to put in a bigger HARD drive, add more RAM, etc. (I mine hit by default 4 GB to 16 GB). Also since any "service" implies to replace all this, consider getting AppleCare to extend the warranty to 3 years. Do not need to buy it outright with the Mac, but must be bought and activated in the basic 1 year warranty period. See here: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD012LL/A/applecare-protection-plan-for-macboo k-pro

Edit: an idea... Install Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus on your Mac 11 and use it to force the GPU integrated single operation. Which allows to test your games. If they do not work OK, they probably don't work well on the mono-GPU 15 model either.

    So, did, I missed something, or with the machine, I'm working, I can only use version 2015.0.1 or below? Thank you very much.

    My machine features:

    In Nvidia Control Panel, you should definitely add sniffer.exe and discreet as a gpu application photoshop.exe. Photoshop.exe alone is not enough.

  • Support the rMBP 2015 13 "NVMe storage?

    Other users of greetings,

    I'm looking to upgrade the SSD drive in my rMBP 2015 13 "model that currently owns the storage of PCIe 128 GB:s. Now, I know that the connector used for the SSD in the new MacBook is not a normal m2 connector, but this problem is easily solved by using an adapter, I already bought

    Anyway, my real question is who is in the title. Anyone of you happen to know if the rMBP 2015 13 "media storage NVMe? As far as I've heard, it only supports AHCI, but since the new rMB 2016 NVMe storage, I thought that would mean that my model supports as well, because the support is granted through firmware and hardware, and I have the latest version of Mac OS (10.12).

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Best regards

  • Problems of heat with the mid-2015 MacBook Pro 15-inch with retina display

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015). 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 | OS X El Capitan (10.11.3) | 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 | Intel Pro Iris 1536 MB | 251 GB of Flash storage

    My 2006 13 "MacBook White would get really hot on my knees if I was using the DVD player.

    Since then, my new MacBook Pro has no disc hard turns and no great, should I feel any heat at all?

    There is an old rule to never put your laptop on your lap, because it may damage your skin. I wonder if the new MacBook Pro will become warmer over time, or if I can expect to not feel high heat.

    Is there a range?

    I did have the machine long enough to say that I have done the troubleshooting steps.

    The DVD player is not the primary heat generator, the CPU/GPU are the creators of the heat.  When you use resources intensive applications, you can expect your MBP become very hot.  Video, Skype, games, etc., are applications that will make the CPU/GPU heat, reaching temperatures in the range of 90 ° c.

    You should expect at a temperature between 40 ° c to 50 ° c when running during 'normal' light applications such as text editing and browsing the web.

  • Correction of the Lightroom 2015.6 goal does not automatically detect lens

    Hello

    The last update seems to have removed the lens correction option activate in the lens correction Panel (there are three check boxes, now there are only two).

    Now when I check activate profile corrections, or the auto default options are able to detect the lens I used to take the picture. Lightroom has said that it is "impossible to locate a matching profile automatically.

    When I manually select the lens seems to apply appropriate adjustments. But I really don't want to have to select the brand and model whenever I want to apply the correction manually, especially considering I shoot with different objectives.

    Is there a setting I need to change so that Lightroom automatically detects the lens used, or is this a bug?

    I shoot with a Canon 6 d. When I check the EXIF data in the module library all the relevant information is still there, lens of the camera body used etc.

    Thank you

  • How to slow the rate of model

    Hello

    I'm just slow down my simulink (dll) model runs in Veristand. The model was compiled at a sampling frequency of 100 Hz and I have been able to slow the speed of the model running in Veristand by reducing the rate of the primary control loop, although he won't reduce anything lower than 10 Hz. My goal is to launch the model 100 x slower than real time. Is this possible? If so, how could I do that?

    Thank you

    Hello claw,

    A basic rule concerning the models of simulation in VeriStand 2009 and 2010 is to run as slow as possible PCL.  Regarding onlymodels, it's the lowest divisible by all rates of the model.  (Other parts of the system may require the PCL to run faster).

    For example, that model A was compiled at 25 Hz, model B at 75 Hz and model C at 100 Hz.  The lowest rate that is divisible by all models is 300 Hz, this is what you run the PCL to.  The next step and maybe the answer to your question is to define the "Décimation" integer for each model in System Explorer.  System Explorer, decimation is always in what regards the PCL.  Decimation 1 means 'at the PCL rate. "  2 decimation means 'every other iteration of the PCL' or 'half the rate of PCL.  Decimation model both for the model A = 12, B = 4 and C = 3 model.

    The reason for the basic rule is that in VeriStand 2009 and 2010 models decimated are required to run a stage of time in an iteration of the PCL to be 'in time'.  In the previous case, models A, B and C each have 3.3ms to run once the step in parallel mode, otherwise they are fine.
