Community!: Anyone know how to default down to Iris Pro (vs discrete 750M)
Just got the new rMBP w/ incredible 1GB Intel Iris Pro 5200 onboard graphics (w/ baller discrete NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2GB)
Context:
Although there is a way to default UP (only use 750M) by going to:
Energy Saver --> Automatic graphics switching (unchecked)
My question is: is there a way to default DOWN -
Since the rMBP Range now starts with Iris Pro Only in Base Model; which provides massive battery life - I am frustrated
with the fact that when I open most videos to watch as I'm working (no additional monitors), the computer Auto Switches
UP to the 750M when clearly Iris Pro can handle video processing - cutting the battery time to half (4 hours) - same with other
use cases, such as: plugging in HDMI for broadcast - obviously Iris Pro can also handle - though this may be a stretch....
any boffins know a command or some sort of " work around " (not hack, but 'workaround') lol to default Graphics Switching DOWN?
Many Thanks!
