Just today I tried to look for how to switch to using the discrete GPU on my 2019 Intel MBP, but I couldn’t find a setting for it. Is it gone?

- xenospn 4y agoYou can still do it, but it’s not exposed in the UI anymore.
- gymbeaux 4y agoI don't think it was ever officially in the UI beyond "allowing" certain applications to use the dedicated GPU inside a MacBook Pro. The only reason Apple even added that was as a battery conservation concern.
- gfxgirl 4y agowas there ever a setting for this? I always used gSwitch or gfxCardStatus to varying degrees of success
- mattgreenrocks 4y agoIt was labeled "Automatic graphics switching" in past releases. It appears to be gone completely. I just confirmed it was under Battery on 12.5.1. This is a shame. The Intel GPU on the 2019 MBP is pretty anemic and it is definitely felt when programming in some editors.
