I have the new macbook pro Retina ,
4-5 times a week the graphic is very laggy , in the games like World of Warcraft or Diablo i have 5-9 fps at the apple hotline we make many tries to find die problem and the last thing which helped was the SMC - Reset - so everytime when i get the problem i have to make the SMC reset thats not normal or ?
Someone have the same problem ?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Same problem here.
I found that games are running on intel video card, not nvidia. But i dont know how to fix it 😟
bump - same problem here.
Do you know if apple is investigating this further or reseting SMC 4 times a week is the final solution?
i was at the Apple Store and the Genius said they dont know this problem and they want to change my mainboard and hope this ist the solution : /
If that works I will get them to replace mine too, but I assume doing so wil take a few days?
is it similiar to this problem?

Yes, I submitted mine and then found there is already a post so I am watching both.
Yes i found a post where you should install some not official drover but come on apple should handle this lake a exchange program, my MBP- Retina is 4 Weeks hold and i dont give it 5 days away for so a big repair work 😟
its not a driver
System Preferences > Energy Saver >
You can do the same by disabling automatic graphics switching
THAT DONT SOLVE THE PROBLEME
if the problem ist there this option dont show any change
the driver change was in a post in the forum dont found him so fast
Can you provide a link to the post you are referring to ?
Nvidia 304 drivers can cause some serious damage to your OS, I had some driver issues and Apple replaced my retina screen which didn't fix it. Re-install of mountain lion resolved my issues, the apple genius suspected it was GPU related and wanted to keep my macbook again to test it. I had already left it in store for 5 days so I took it home and fixed it myself.
reinstall OS X dont solve my problem :/ only SMC ! 😟
same problem, only reset SMC works.
Sigh... gfxCardStatus doesnt work even if I set to discrete card only and still have to reset SMC. COMMON ON give us a proper fix APPLE.
