Please tell me that I'm not alone with this problem? I'm never able to shut down Cubase properly, never, it always freezes! And then Cubase freezes all the time and force shuts on top of that. I've turned the buffer up to max when I'm mixing, 2000 something.

I can't make music with this Mac at all anymore. Why is my MacBook Pro so slow that it can't even play back a track inside the DAW? My CPU is at like 34434734735758855 % But the guys in the comment section started bashing him, so I don't know. I watched a youtube video where a guy stated that all you have to do is go to the settings and click on battery life or something like that and just change it from there.

I was like, I know what a CPU is, I even know what a GPS is, but this GPU thing, I'm clueless about lol! On a serious note though, I'm trying to figure out how to change the GPU now. Thank you for enlightening me about that. "Long-standing complaints that the 2011 MacBook Pro suffered from a manufacturing fault resulting in GPU glitches and failures don’t appear to be going away, as an online petition calling for Apple to fix or replace affected machines reaches more than 18,000 signatures." There used to be a variety of utilities available to control what graphics solution is used, but I haven't looked for anything compatible with more recent versions of macOS.I found this: If this is the culprit then it shouldn't be specific to any particular activity, but will lock up under heavy use from just about any application.Īs the poster above suggested, forcing use of the integrated Intel graphics might be one workaround.
The GPUs that year were notorious, and as a result Apple took care of those systems under warranty for four years from date of purchase.

My consumption 2.5 Amp, instead of 1.1 Amp. So instead of having 3:27 hours left, I now have 1:22 hours left.Now, let’s check what the consumption is (the same two idle VMs):.How do I know that I’m saving power? Well, let’s go to Discrete and check the power consumption:.Cody Krieger (the creator of gfxCardStatus) says that even if it says that the Integrated is being used, the Discrete (NVidia) is still being powered on, which invalidates the whole exercise.Here’s my power consumption with the two VMs: I’m using iStatMenus (not free) to check my power consumption.There’s a BackTrack 5 R3 VM and a Windows XP (both idle) with the integrated graphics card:.There’s a BackTrack 5 R3 with the integrated graphics card: Then launch VMWare Fusion, start whatever virtual machine.Before launching VMware Fusion, click on Integrated only ( THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP: click it several times until it has the checkbox on the Integrated only.):.How to use Integrated Graphics Card with VMware Fusion on OS X 10.8: But I managed (thanks to PePe) to discover one. I have not found any solution online to fix this. When one uses VMWare Fusion, the discrete graphics card is enforced, which drains the battery too fast. With OS X 10.8 gfxCardStatus is no longer capable of enforcing Integrated Graphics card only.
