gSwitch
gSwitch is a cool app that lets you control which graphics processor your MacBook uses. With integrated graphics becoming more common in laptops, many everyday tasks no longer need dedicated graphics cards. This means less power consumption and longer battery life!
Why Choose gSwitch?
Sometimes, though, you need that extra processing power. Many MacBooks come with dual-GPU setups. But the issue is that sometimes the drivers don’t pick when to switch to the better GPU efficiently, which can drain your battery.
Take Control of Your Graphics
This is where gSwitch shines! It's an open-source app that puts you in charge of choosing between the CPU's integrated graphics and the dedicated GPU. You can make this choice directly from your menu bar, and you’ll see a little dot on the gear icon whenever your GPU is active.
Smooth Switching
When you opt for integrated graphics using gSwitch, it doesn't completely turn off the dedicated GPU; it just minimizes its use unless needed. The operating system may still try to activate it if there's a demanding task at hand, but gSwitch quickly reverts back to using the integrated option.
Boost Your Battery Life
If you're running something intense like a game and force your MacBook to rely on integrated graphics, performance might take a hit. However, if saving battery life is what you're after, then this app will do wonders!
