pmset and gpuswitch
I was wondering if anyone knew anything more about the
gpuswitch option available in pmset.
By default, GPUSwitch appears to be set to '2' in the hardware profile and when invoking the +pmset -g+ command from the terminal.
What I want to do is have integrated graphics only when running on the battery with automatic switching turned off, and the default switching behaviour only active when on AC wall power.
sudo pmset -b gpuswitch <value for integrated only>
sudo pmset -c gpuswitch <vale for automatic switching - 2?>
Anyone know the correct values to use?
2 = both GPUs?
1 = Discrete?
0 = Integrated?
The man pages have not yet been updated with this information and was just wondering if anyone has experimented with it and found something that works.
Cheers!
