15" MB Pro Graphics

I was checking the system profiler on my new MB. It's identified as "Model Identifier MacBookPro 5,1 with a 2.53 Ghz processor, which is what I ordered. Then I checked the Graphics in it & it showed both the Nvidia GeForce 9400M & the Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT. I'm glad to have them both but I thought the 2.53 only came with one card. Any thoughts on this?

Yes, that's the explanation. The mid-2009 2.53 is a downgraded, lower-priced replacement for the 2.4GHz late-2008 model that had two GPUs and an Expresscard slot. I have that 2.4. You have the first 2.53, introduced a year ago, with all the same features as my 2.4 plus the minimally faster processor and 512MB of VRAM for the dedicated GPU.

Macbook 15" Pro Retina under Windows 8.1 is constantly overheating because of lack of Iris Pro graphics driver

This issue must have been raised many times already. The problem is that modern Macbook Pros under Windows are limited to NVidia graphics making Intel Iris Pro graphics unavailable. And Nvidia graphics in its turn produces pretty much heat, sometimes to the point when it "boils" on your lap.
As an answer to this i heard that Windows is somehow limited (i honestly doubt this in regards to Windows 8.1) and doesn't support dual graphics and other stuff. Well, then give users an option to completely turn off NVidia graphics and use Iris Pro only. Is this possible?

Unfortunately, there is no way to switch. It requires removal of the BC/Windows and re-installation in EFI mode. W7 has some challenges with EFI mode, but W8+ are much better. If you want to try the EFI method, then
1. Backup Windows and all your files.
2. Remove Windows using BCA (do not use any other tools) - Boot Camp: Remove Windows from your Mac
3. Create a partition of the size you want the Windows to be, using Disk Utility. This should be a Free Space partition.
4. Use the Windows Installer and choose EFI boot from the USB built using BCA.
5. Install Windows. The Free Space partition will be split into a 128MB MSR and the remainder as MS Data which will become NTFS during the Windows installation.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Intel Iris Pro Graphics in Macs

Hey everyone,
Does anyone know if Premiere Pro CC supports GPU acceleration with Intel Iris Pro Graphics from the new Macbook Pros? This video from Intel clearly shows that it's possible for Windows but what about Macs?
http://software.intel.com/en-us/videos/accelerating-video-production-with-opencl-and-intel -iris-graphics
I'm interested because I know OpenCl performance with Iris Pro should be stellar compared to Nvidia 650m and 750m.
Thanks!

Good question. I'm also trying to figure that out. The 15" Macbook Pro has the Intel Iris Pro Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB. Whereas the 13" has the Intel Iris Graphics 6100. I prefer the smaller size laptop but am concerned about the Gfx.

Mac Pro Graphics Cards

I am using an early Mac Pro 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon with an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Graphics Card. I am thinking of upgrading my monitor to a 24" model with high resolution.
Can anyone give me advice on whether I need, or could benefit from, a new Graphics Card?
Any advice would be most appreciated.
YAGOM

The NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics card has one dual-link DVI port that can handle a display up to 2560 x 1600, and one single-link DVI port that can handle up to 1920 x 1200, so unless you need more graphics speed, such as for games, you don't need a new graphics card.
Note: there is currently no way to use the new Apple 24" LED display with any Mac Pro graphics card.

What is the difference between the Intel HD Graphics 5000 and the Intel Iris Pro Graphics in the current iMacs

What is the difference between the Intel HD Graphics 5000 and the Intel Iris Pro Graphics in the current iMacs?

I am assuming you are talking about PPC Macs? Those haven't been manufactured or sold in years (since early 2006 I believe) when Apple started using Intel processors. There are still some apps which run on PPC code only which makes them incompatible with the last three Mac operating systems.
There are different Applecare products depending on which Mac product you buy, although the coverage is about the same (except for iOS devices).

Integrated Intel Iris Pro graphics adapter in boot camp

Hello
How can I use integrated Intel Iris Pro graphics adapter in boot camp on my new Haswell Macbook pro?
It is really important in order to get decent battery time.
Best regards
Jesper

For some odd reason Apple has restricted Mac computer from using that graphics adapter when you are using Windows and your Mac has a add-on, discrete, graphics card installed.
If you do a google search on it no one has been able to make it work on a Mac.

MBP with Intel Iris Pro graphic card performance

Hi Fellow CC
I wanted to know if any of you has experience with the MBP Retina 15" with the Intel Iris Pro graphics card? does it work well with Photoshop, InDesign and some video editing?
Cheers
Mica

The NVIDIA card will help and give your MBPro more capabilities. The point is that Ray-traced rendering is not very helpful or useful on probably 95% of your projects. If you want to use that feature it's going to be slow with an NVIDIA card and much slower if you use CPU rendering.
What I'm trying to say is that you should buy the highest performing computer that your budget will allow. If AE is a hobby or your are a student you use one set of parameters to calculate that budget. If you make a living with AE then you use another. If you don't think about your budget and don't do some financial planning regarding your purchases then you probably won't be financially successful in many other areas of your life. The point it - carefully think about what your are going to do with what you buy and make sure the sacrifice you will have to make to purchase your tools is worth the productivity the new tool will bring to your job. Only you know that answer.
You seem to be hung up on Ray-traced rendering. For me that is a very very minor consideration. Performance and capacity is the major part so my laptop is the MBPro R that you see on the right side of the list with all of the upgrades checked. My previous MBProR was nearly the same. I bought it as soon as they were introduced in June of 2012 and sold it to upgrade in July of 2014 when the latest upgrade came out because that is what fit my business plan. The money for the upgrade came from a small portion of my billable time that is funneled into a special account just to keep my tools up to date. Any decision I make to upgrade is based on projections that weigh productivity against cost. You'll have to figure out your own criteria. IMHO Ray-traced rendering is almost not worth considering. The Retina Display and a 15" screen and processor/Ram/Storage capacity and the ability to drive a big external monitor are the major considerations.

Irish Pro Graphics vs 650M vs 750M

I guess this is more of a technical question... But what are the preformance differences in gaming when it comes to Irish Pro Graphics vs 650M (on 2012 rmbp) and the 750M (on 2013 rmbp)

Hello Shadow82x,
It's a good question, i was also wondering this, so i did some research.
What i found out is that the iris pro graphics is the least and the 650m and 750m are similar. The 750m is an rebrand of the 650m but with higher core clocks and memory clocks what results in an 10% performance boost in certain situations.
Here are some benchmark results:
Unigine valley 1.0:
Iris pro 16.9 fps
Gt 650m 33.8 fps
Dirt 2 High settings 1680x1050:
iris pro 28.5 fps
Gt 650m 47.3 fps
As you can see the Gt 650m clearly outperformed the Iris pro and you can expect that the 750m has around 10% higher scores.
(in the Youtube link below there is an comparison of the 650m model against the iris pro model)
Hopes this helps you out!

Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory

Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, is it worth paying an extra $200?

Software support of graphics card is key. If no graphics card is mentioned in software specs, then it can be ignored. Mostly games and high end image and video graphics software are affected.

Questions regarding ATI Rage 128 Pro graphics card in Sawtooth

Hi, i was checking on the web regarding the specs of my Sawtooth and stumbled upon this page: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg4/stats/powermac_g4_400agp.html
My Sawtooth comes with the ATI Rage 128 Pro graphics card. Its indicated the max resolution support is 1920x1200. I was wondering if it is able to support resolution 1680x1050 for wide monitors like the Samsung 205BW? Have anyone tried using a wide screen monitor with the Rage 128 pro card? Does it work well?
I'm not a gamer and i don't intend to upgrade the graphic card. (Though it would be nice to get my hands on the a Radeon 8500 or 9000.) I mainly do graphic work, and currently using a Samsung 740B monitor set at 1280x1028 resolution.

Hi, I posted the exact same question in another forum, and i was directed to this link: http://forums.appleinsider.com/showthread.php?t=58395
So i guess it does work. Though maybe, to a certain extend, like mentioned by one of the forum members:
"My old Sawtooth 400MHz G4 had an ATI Rage 128. It drove my 20inch Apple Cinema Display (the current design) with DVI. Not the best graphics, but it could do it, and without any hacks too..."
Hope this helps with anyone having the same questions... : )

Will the Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5200 run all Photoshop effects?

I am lost and cant find a final answer to the following.
I am about to buy a MacBook Pro and cant decide between the one with dedicated GPU and the one without. I want to go for the one without - the increased battery performance and lack of overheating are favourable.
BUT... I cant get a deffinate answer to whether the Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics 5200 on the 4th gen i7 processors (ie the one without the dedicated GPU) will run all these Photoshop effects:
Adaptive Wide Angle Filter (compatible video card required)
Liquify (accelerated with compatible video card with 512 MB of VRAM)
Oil Paint (compatible video card required)
Warp and Puppet Warp (accelerated with compatible video card)
Field Blur, Iris Blur, and Tilt/Shift (accelerated with compatible video card supporting OpenCL)
Lighting Effects Gallery (compatible video card required with 512 MB of VRAM)
New 3D enhancements (3D features in Photoshop require a compatible video card with 512 MB of VRAM):
Draggable Shadows
Ground plane reflections
Roughness
On-canvas user interface controls
Ground plane
Light widgets on edge of canvas
IBL (image-based light) controller
I don't need them to run massively fast, I just need to know if they will work without a dedicated GPU. I appreciate the Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics 5200 supports open gl/cl but I cant find an idiots proof answer if that means all these features will work.
HELP!
Cheers

We’re not aware of any issues using that specific card with Photoshop and all features should be supported.

Since Adobe and AMD have a relationship, you can expect the higher end Adobe effects to support discrete Nvidia cards, and probably not put much energy into GPU support for Intel HD 5000 graphics. Yes, PS will run on HD 5000 chips, but you may find that some higher demand features get automatically disabled by the Photoshop GPU "sniffer", and others that do work, may suffer poorer performance, or full feature support.
Suggest you post your question in the Adobe Photoshop community too.

Mid 2010 Macbook Pro Graphic Card(GT 330M) Temporary Fix

Have seen lot of Posts regarding this issue to which i found a temporary fix and thought might be helpfull to someone else
I am with a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro
2.66 i7
4gb ram
Nvidia Geforce gt 330m / Intel HD Graphics(228 mb)
Lion 10.7.2
its been above 4 years my mb was working fine untill i decided to do a clean install of Mountain Lion and started facing this Crash Issues,
within this week i tryed to reinstall snow leopard and lion and tryed to overcome this crash issue but noting worked(couldnt reinstall snow bcaz it wouldnt boot for me)
Havent taken it to a showroom or repair centre since i already figured that this issue is due to the nvidia graphic card that came with this mb(but planing to once i save enuf money for a new repair)
for now i am on 10.7.2(lion) and my fix to this issue is gfxCardStatus 2.2.1(the new version of gfx does automatic switching for me which gives me no control)
Bfore this when ever i opend Logic Pro the gfx status automatically moved to Discrete which after a while lead to black screen and a force restart,so i came across this fix and its been working well for me
how to ;-
1 - install gfxCardStatus 2.2.1(google it for download link)
2 - switch energy saver in system prefs to battery saver and select Intergrated Mode in gfcardstatus from the menu bar
Note ;-
- after restart the defualt in gfx bcomes dynamic switching and while selecting Intergrated mode the screen will have white lines and garbled issue.
3 - so bfore restart i quit gfx and uninstall it(move it to trash n empty)
4 - after restart the gfx menu dosent come up on bar so i reinstall it from a extrnal usb or drive or redownload it from internet and install it back n repeat set 2 from how to notes.
Now repeating this process when i open Logic Pro the gfx stays on Intergrated Only allowing me to finish my projects with full concentration and without any black screen or force restarts.
Hope this works well for some one out there.

Spill Cleaning
Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).
