Any possibility using only the integrated GPU ?

Mac OS X 10.11.6

MacBook Pro(Retina,15 ",2015 mid)

With a dedicated AMD Graphic cards


I'm wondering that if it is possible to use only the integrated GPU while playing games. Cause I found out that some games are no need to use the AMD GPU, but it automatically switched to the dedicated GPU and drains the battery.

Hope there is a solution to solve this problem. Thanks !

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), null

There is somewhat of a conditional scenario suggested in this article

on how to make certain graphic settings may remain in use, here:

Not sure if there is a way hidden within the system to change the default to

stay on the one you wish to be first choice; perhaps in 'terminal' command?


In any event...

Good luck in this matter! 🙂
