Program To Run: /Users/username/Applications/gfxCardStatus. click on + to add new launch configuration.select "User Agents" from Drop Down List.The one being used includes a Main Display: Yes. used LaunchControl: to create a launch configuration for gfxCardStatus to start it before my login items, and to make sure to start it in graphics mode To determine which GPU is active, you have to open the System Profiler application (press Option and choose System Profiler from the Apple menu), click the Graphics/Displays item under Hardware in the sidebar, and select the Intel or Nvidia video card.Go to: System Preferences > Users & Groups > Current User > Login Items made sure that gfxCardStatus is not in my list of login items.To force the MBP to use the integrated graphics card from startup, I did the following: I was having trouble on startup because gfxCardStatus would load after other applications which used the Discrete graphics card already started (eg Chrome). Safari is more stable and graphics switching-friendly. Google Chrome has had on-and-off issues with graphics switching that still crop up pretty frequently. Other apps, like Google Chrome and Skype, do not. If so, is the gfxCardStatus app the recommended approach? Certain apps like Parallels and VMware Fusion have good reasons for turning on the more power-hungry graphics.
Will forcing the system to use the Intel HD Graphics will cure the panics?.So I'd like to try forcing the system to always use the Intel HD Graphics and see if that makes the problem go away. (I also heard that I just missed the deadline for an Apple warranty repair for that very problem.sigh.) I've heard anecdotally that the NVIDIA 330M is problematic.
My system has two graphics subsystems: the built-in Intel HD Graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M. Context: My mid-2010 MBP 15" has started to get random GPU panics: Anonymous UUID: 84FEDF51-A1D6-EDC2-CC8C-6B53B7959874
