Oct 7, 2012 2:11 AM in response to quentin DEWEZby orhan_m,So guys, I got my rMBP back yesterday. There are two possibilities which could cause the lag. The graphic card or SSD. My graphic card was changed by the tecnician and unfortunatelly there is still a lag. So he assumes that the SSD must have a defect because running the macbook with an extern HDD was very smooth he said. He couldn't try my SSD because I had forgotten to give him my password for login. So I will inform you after my SSD has changed.

Oct 7, 2012 6:50 AM in response to orhan_mby Tigerwong,will be interesting to find out that the whole issues not with the Graphic card but dodgy SSD!!!

Oct 7, 2012 9:52 AM in response to dscielby quentin DEWEZ,Did you guys installed gfxCardStatus?
I've installed it 1 hour ago and my computer seems back on track and Diablo 3 runs smooth again.
I also suggest you install the latest CUDA drivers from nVidia website...
A lot of people install gfxCardStatus and run a Cinebench, once with the nVidia and once with Intel.
The people having this problem with their graphics have better results with the Intel...!

Oct 7, 2012 10:00 AM in response to quentin DEWEZby orhan_m,Yeah it seems that there is a proble with the integrated graphic card Intel. Using just the Intel card causes a lot of lags. But I mean nevertheless this shouldn't happen anyhow. The rMBP is a very strong machine which costs a lot of money. So I can expect that everything should work smooth and proparly. Apple should be able to do that.

Oct 8, 2012 1:26 AM in response to orhan_mby David_apple,Suggesting the SSD is a fault sounds bizzare to me. The graphics drivers seem most likely to be a fault (or the graphics switching).
Although they do seem to be improving ever so slightly in each minor version release of Mountain Lion.
As a very simple test I have been using RDM to set my resolution to 1920x1200 (HiDPI) and viewing this website (noticing the animated clouds) and then setting the resolution to 19200x1200 - the none HiDPI one - and viewing the website again. The difference is quite noticable, as well is the performance throughout OSX.
But, of course I haven't paid £2500 for a retina display to run in a lower quality mode, so I end up switching back to HiDPI and suffering the lag.
Im am interested to know if anyone from Apple is reading this thread at all?

Oct 8, 2012 2:54 AM in response to David_appleby orhan_m,So to me but let's see if this resolves our problem.
I am also interested to know whether apple takes care about theese issues?!
I am very disappointed about the fact that apple promises a retina display, btw which is really amazing, but may be the hardware does not fulfill the requirements to run such a resolution of a display properly.
I hope they work on it!

Oct 8, 2012 5:32 AM in response to orhan_mby poidet,somehow i'm thinking they won't fix it ever they are thinking that we are fully idiots

Oct 8, 2012 11:36 AM in response to poidetby JosArch,They'll have to fix it, i'm experiencing the same lag problems, but i´m on a early 2011 15'' MBP, wich means its a software issue and there are more products affected
-
Oct 8, 2012 12:04 PM in response to JosArchby orhan_m,That's a new view. I really assumed that the lag is mainly caused by hardware issues. So could you just describe short how you experience the lag? I'm just wondering if it is almost the same as we have on our retina machines. Thanks.

Oct 8, 2012 12:50 PM in response to orhan_mby JosArch,at first, when i installed ML it ran smoothly, but a few week later it became all the features that required animation became slightly slower, such as mission control or launchpad, the issue that bothers me is that when i open safari the computer sometimes won't respond to the gestutures, i can move the cursor, but my mac won't respond until a few seconds later like trying to catch up with the actions i triggered before, generally the lag becomes stronger while using Safari, and i've also experienced the total "block" of my mac when i opened a tab on safari, when the only solution is to reboot it manually, it has happened to me 5 times in the past three weeks, and is really anoying, i had never experienced such problems before neither on lion nor snow leopard.

We'll be lucky to see a fix in 2012.

Oct 9, 2012 8:45 AM in response to orhan_mby togaen,Yeah, there really seems to be something wrong with integrated graphics drivers, or the way the graphics are switched. I'm on all the latest updates, and if I force it to use the GPU graphics, all animations are perfectly smooth. On the Intel chip, they are horribly laggy. Pretty shoddy for such an expensive machine.
