GPU switch causing graphics issues on my new Retina MacBook Pro 15 (Mid 2015)

yes because i took it to the center, to repair

My model is 0000A02E, can you post the link of the other thread?

Yosemite 10.10.4 is out today, try to update and see if the glitches go away. If it is a software thingy it could have been fixed now.
And please let us know if you can.

i'm updating right now.

i'll let you know later, finger crossed!

No change after the update to 10.10.4

Hum I imagined that could happen. Was you that also had the problem with the computer booting with the internal display off when connected to an external monitor? Because this I think is fixed now with the update. At least something like that was listed in the release notes.

I really think the glitches are hardware related man, maybe an overheating of the gpu.. I don't know but just the fact a hand full of people only are seeing this, for me indicates it's not software. I would try to return it If I still could and if not, go to apple store and stay with the guy there untill it happens and show them so they can do something.

;T

at the phone they just told that they don't care, if can't show the problem only with OS X installed and nothing else, they don't care!!!!!!

the problem is showing most when the fan are spinning, so tell please how i can stress the mac only with safari and i tunes to take a video...

i don't believe that this is their answer......

It makes not much sense for them to say that. I saw the video and the glitch happens on the entire screen and not just the application window.

Try to use very graphic intensive websites, those with games.. and see how it goes.

Cant you go to another apple store? Maybe it also depends on the attendant?

no because there is only one certified apple store, and on the phone apple told me the same things that the store told me......

Caveiramancayou are a genius!!!!!!!!!!

i opened a lot of heavy image, and safari!!!!! and it show! https://youtu.be/XmFuAAlftqo

they are going to replace the logic board, i hope this will fix the problem!!!

Awesome... Glad to hear it worked!

I will probably fix it, basically changing the mother-board you are changing the whole computer.

Let me know later when you get it fixed. I am still waiting for mine.. hopefully arrives this week.

😉

Same issue with mine and I am on my second mid 2015 macbook pro with maxed out specs.

was your first one experiencing the same issues? And did they replace it for free? Are you going to get this one replaced for a third one?

They replaced my last one - Apple Customer Service has always been particularly exceptional in my experiences. Also, my firm has a business account with Apple and I know they go out of their way to accommodate the business users who are choosing to use Apple products instead of PC for marketing and graphics.

Honestly, I don't know whether to take it back or not. It is annoying - But I am hoping it is a software issue. I did have a similar occurrence with the other machine too. I am thinking it is the AMD cards. I never had issues with the NVIDIA cards. The first computer I had was taking forever to render video in premiere pro. I had to change over to my 2012 macbook pro to render the video because it was 20 hours on the 2015 MBP and only 10 minutes on the 2012 MBP. Fortunately, the rendering is better with this new machine and after the recent Adobe CC release of 2015.

I am still having Dropbox eat up a significant amount of CPU when I have it open - And, yes, of course I have adjusted the bandwidth. I never had issues with dropbox or Adobe CC before this new MBP 2015. It's important to note I have maxed out specs: 1 TB SSD. 2.8 i7, ect. This is a $3200 laptop that performs beautifully when it works. But these other issues are definitely concerning to say the least. I really think it is related to the AMD cards.

On a side note: The SSD is outstanding. I have never experienced a faster SSD in all my life. I don't know how Apple did it. But the graphics issues need to be resolved STAT.

After a week waiting for the new logic board, i called the certified store yesterday, and they told that the piece is out of stock.

So i got mad, and called back apple, and they told that the next week they will send a courier to take my mac, and send in Holland, when they will receive my machine they will send me a new one in Italy....

And it's about a month that i have requested a new mac, and now i'm reading that other users have the same problem, with their replaced mac.

I'm loosing hope to get back to my work with a functioning mac....
