Change between graphics

Hi guys


I have a question to the iMac 5K.

The iMac 5K has on one hand the integrated GPU of the Intel processor, and on the other hand the "AMD Radeon R9" on-board GPU.

My question: Is it possible to change between those 2 graphic options? So can I choose which one of them to use?


Thank you!

Hi


1.) So easily said: The iMac 5K has two GPU's. One built-in on the Intel CPU, the other one is an on-board GPU. The iMac 5K just uses the on-board GPU (AMD) and the GPU on the Intel is not used.

Correct?


2.) And then 2 questions to your annotation to the MacBook Pro.

a) As far as I know only the 15-inch, 2499$ version has an additional AMD GPU. The other ones just have the integrated GPU on the Intel CPU, right?

b) Do you know if the user of the MacBook Pro 15-inch, 2499$ version can change between the two graphics himself (manually) or is it only automatically?


Thank you!
