MacBook Pro Retina dedicated GPU

skrenes · July 16, 2015

Zotero keeps using my dedicated GPU, which runs down the battery faster and generates unwanted heat. There's no reason for it to need the higher performance of the nVidia 650M GPU over the Intel's HD4000. I'm guessing there is some kind of GPU acceleration that is improperly using the dedicated GPU on my 2012 MacBook Pro Retina.

Wow! That was super fast! I didn't realize there was an update. Just ran it, and it's back to using the integrated graphics again! Thanks so much! Amazing!
