New MacBookPro (2010) - VMware releases GPU dedicated... why?

I use a monitoring tool that indicates if the Intel HD GPU or the dedicated Nvidia GPU 330GT is running at any given time, so I can clearly see that from a virtual computer triggers the GPU dedicated, which means that my MacBook Pro consumes a lot more power.

The virtual machine (Win XP Pro SP 3) is in mode single window with 3D acceleration is disabled.

I can't imagine the advantage of the GPU dedicated on that internal in this scenario. Any thoughts? Any chance to get back on the GPU inner in the interests of greater autonomy?

My understanding is that any time a program uses OpenGL, OS X will switch to the discrete GPU. Fusion uses OpenGL to draw the poster comments (even if you have not enabled 3D acceleration), which means the discrete GPU is still used while the merger is running.

  • Problems with Creative Cloud Desktop on the migration of the old MacbookPro to new MacbookPro

    It is not a question but more my recent experiences with migrating from an old (mid-2010 MacbookPro 17 ") to a new MacbookPro (mid-2015) and the consequences regarding the CC Apps.

    I didn't know that he would have problems with creative cloud during the migration process (or I don't think there should be), but clearly there is something about how Adobe Connect all of the CC following your computer as part of the license agreement which means that you cannot migrate right and it will be honky dory (that's Aussie for you beauty or top notch or large if you) prefer) just like any other piece of software on my laptop that comes with a software "KEY" to the license.  Every other piece of software migrated perfectly and works perfectly without having to reenter the KEYS so he beat me that Adobe makes it so damned awkward... but anyway... it is what it is.  The fact that the license agreement allows you to have the software installed on 2 machines is another reason it intrigues me that you cannot migrate seamlessly.

    What alerted me on an issue after that migration was that Desktop CC crashed suddenly on a cold start.  So I looked at these forums and found a thread that explains how to remove Desktop CC and reinstall.  It worked but later in the day after a reboot it CC Desktop crashed again.  Put it back, once again failed.  Discovered that the preferences Office CC file has not been deleted by the CC Office uninstall App manually deleted, empty the trash, rebooted, reinstalled and it worked.  Next reboot, it crashed it again.  What the...

    Now I'm about to throw the laptop out the window, but it became clear that I had to remove every single application under the CC and then clearing debris NOT removed by uninstall of applications. It became a nightmare after nearly 6 hours of effort.

    From 23:00 last night I gave her one last shot.  Uninstalling, cleaning of CC tool, kill everything, throw it in the trash, reboot and reinstall.  Sam with my fingers crossed and poof, it just.  Winner winner chicken dinner.  Click on install both applications LI and PS, then set the computer laptop do not sleep and stop at the bed.  In the morning, she did, and after a reboot, everything is good.  SO FAR.

    Hope this might help someone else who is having similar levels of grief.

    Thank you John, but I already figured that out as you would have assumed my post.  Also, I've marked as supposed message answer because I've sung on the first sentence was that it was more a comment for the benefit of others who experience the same issue.  Not sure how it has changed state is an unanswered question.

  • Is it possible to disable the GPU dedicated Satellite L850

    Is it possible to disable the GPU dedicated on the L850.
    Through the BIOS or something else, so that the laptop works on the onboard graphics on the CPU.

    Thank you

    Hello

    What L850-xxx you exactly and what dedicated GPU support?

    Laptops that support technology Optimus (with nVidia GPU) could switch automatically between the GPU (Intel) internal and external nVidia GPU and it depends on the application running.

    In some cases, you might choose weather, that an application must use internal GPU Intel or NVidia GPU.

    I've updated my macbookpro (2010) snow leopard at elcapitan but when I restart it does not complete the installation then is no longer able to use it.

    I tried the following:

    1 start with the R command and using disk utility that did say he had problems but then appear all ok after completing.

    2 tried the Verbose mode and did not work

    3. I tried command mode S did not.

    4. tried to zap the pram was not working.

    5 a couple other things that I had read, but nothing helped.

    It starts up and the line begins to show the computer made his 'thing', but gets stuck about 3/4 quarters of and goes no further. Would appreciate any suggestions.

    PS: also tried boot from the original disks as well, but no luck.

    You said "PS: also starting from the original disks tried both but no luck."

    Exactly what happened when you tried?

  • How to disable a GPU dedicated to Dell Optiplex 960

    I use an ATI Radeon HD 4550 with Dell Optiplex SFF GX960 (BIOS A08), sometimes I want to save energy by opting for the Integrated GPU (Intel GMA)... My question if there is a way to disable/enable the GPU dedicated without removing the motherboard.

    I tried to disable in the BIOS in the category of video settings I found 2 modes Auto and Onboard/add in card, when I use Auto and set the display the Intel GPU it causes a "unsupported video Configuration interrupted system!" and asks me to fix the screen to the dedicated card, while the other mode ignores the totally integrated GPU.

    Thanks in advance

    No, the only way to turn off is to remove it. This isn't a laptop.

    But there is no power gpu switching.

  • VMware view floating / dedicated user settings?

    Hello.

    I'm relatively new to this view of vmware, did some research and currently arose a system in a laboratory on a license eval for tests.

    It's basically for future planning where we want to go with our company, having 15000 employee with very various and other requirements.

    Centralization of our infrastructure COMPUTING for all sites, creating less configurations for most users will be preferable and applications management.

    but here the question arises.

    with a floating pool, you are obviously less force on the hosts and multiple users use the same vm, but I can't find an option of persistent disk.

    that means, user settings will be locked to this machine, which is most likely, will be handed over to another user, the next day, or the next few hours or so.

    then if he have settings in an application they will not be present if he next time connects to another virtual machine.

    Pools dedicated, if we say in this site, I am, have 300 users, we want to give the soltion for via the dedicated mode, they will be able to have a drive and then persistent would circulate in fact of the virtual machine, but they are entitled to this specific machine, which would end up with vm 300 s then? instead of 150 possibly with floating?

    I'm confused about the idea behind the float we can ofc use of roaming profiles in AD or change envoriment variable at home in the car, but always then settings would not follow the user.

    Thank you.

    Everything you said is correct.  The persistent drive option is not available when using the flexible pools and in order to use full them you will need a type of process of redirection of folder/management profile in place.

    The persistent drive options are available on the dedicated pools that would impose the you need a desktop computer for each user who connects to this pool.

    Hi all

    We expect a couple of new certifications of output this year, although at this point I can not provide release dates.  As we get closer, I'll post here all the info.

    Regarding the VCDX, the first step in the process is to complete the questionnaire, located here:

  • New Hp with VMWare Esx4 server configuration

    Hello

    We just bought a new server - DL380 G6. During the installation of the SmartSmart CD, it asks me to choose what operating system I want to install it is to say windows 2003 or 2008.

    However, I would like to install VMWare Esx4i. What should I do?

    Also, how do I go and install the Proliant Support Pack, which contains all drivers for the server?

    Thank you

    Make sure you have the latest version. HP releases a new version of the firmware CD every few months. The most common is August 10, version 8.6. It is sometimes updated firmware for specific devices between the CD versions. Check to see if it affects your installation.

    You don't need anything be it front of ESXi. ESXi is installed directly on the hardware. You may consider to install inside the SD card and leave space for the data store.
