Do the two GPUs work together?

Hi
On the new MBP do the 2 GPUs work together? So if you switch on the second GPU does it work WITH the 9400 one or instead of it?

The high-end/low-end 2 GPU configuration Apple worked on with NVIDA for the new MacBook is not something I find beneficial either for a gamer, an Artist or for those that work in broadcast or even film production. The reason for this is if both GPU were the same then the user could use them both in SLI mode when needed which would speed up rendering and take more workload off the CPU. Any person with basic computer knowledge should know they can extend a laptops power by turing off services they don't need at the time and lower the display lighting. This can already be done on current MacBook and MacBook Pro with out a need to have a lower end GPU. As an Artist my only wish is for Apple to fire the guy who thought this design was a brilliant idea and actually hire someone that knows what Artists, gamers and broadcast/film production users want and need in a mobile solution. In my case SLI NVIDIA or ATI GPU, Blu-Ray DVD RW drive, Intel Quad Core 64-bit CPU, 17" HD non-gloss display, Firewire and a 500 GB 7200 RPM shock resistant hard drive. If they can come up with that in the next 6 months then I'll be willing to spend my hard earned money on another MacBook Pro.

    main() is simply the entry point into your program for the JVM. When you say
    java MyClassYou're telling hte JVM to execute public static void main(String[] args) in the class MyClass. That class must be on your classpath and it must have that method. That class is then free to use any other classes, in its own package or in other packages (provided they are accessible and on the classpath), regardless of whether those classes have a main method.

  • Satellite P305-s8842: How do the 2 HDDs work together?

    I have the Satellite P305-s8842, it comes with dual 200 gig HDD's.
    I was wondering how they work together. The main one is almost full; when it fills all the way up will it automatically start filling the second HDD?
    Right now there are only two files on the second one they are a temp folder and a msdia80.dll file.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Thanks for the reply

    Anyway, I don't really understand how it's supposed to be used. Please don't flame, I am pretty proficient with computers but this is the first one that I've had that has two hdd's. Just trying to understand how they work together. Thanks.

  • HT4847 I have an iphone and ipad, how do I merge the two icloud space together

    I have an iphone and ipad, how do I merge the two icloud space together

    Your iCloud account has 5GB space for email, for calendar and contacts syncing, for iWork documents and for iOS backups - all these live on the sever. Both devices access the account; the 5GB space they make use of is the same and is on the server. It's not a case of two spaces, one for each device.

  • Vista 64 bit and the iPhone now Work together!!!

    Yesterday's iTunes update to 7.6 sealed the deal. I went out and bought my iPhone tonight, plugged it and in, activated it, and I'm synching up all my data now! Thank you Apple.
    I've waited more than a year based on early rumors and then the 2007 keynote with Steve... I knew then I'd wait for this phone. Little did I know I'd wait a year.

    That is Super! Enjoy your new iPhone!

  • Two reports's entries to the same form, the DELETE button works unproperly.

    I have two reports refrencing one form in which I have one item whose value is set by the refrencing report. In the form I build two branches back to the two resports by the item's value(conditional branch). when press the SAVE or CREATE button all work properly. But when press DELETE button, it seems the system clears all caches so that the item loses value. Then my two branches don't work. If I change "Javascript:apex.confirm..." to "Javascript:confirmDelete('...');" ,the two branches work, but the validations are always working, even if I change then validation option to "No". Can anyone help me? Thanks.

    I have found the answer.

  • IPhoto and Aperture... working together?  Tips please?

    Hi there, I'm a new Mac user. I moved over from the PC where I used Adobe Photoshop and ACDsee image viewer. I wanted to get the Aperture experience so I now have Aperture 2.
    The 1st part of my problem is, a lot of my photos are already "in" iPhoto '08. I imported them before I got Aperture 2.
    The 2nd part of my problem is that I don't really fully understand how iPhoto '08 works. I can't seem to wrap my brain around the notion that it's primarily a database. I have all my photos carried into my computer via iPhoto, but I immediately copy them over to my external hardrive, rename them, then import them BACK into iPhoto. Is that the scenic route, or what? But right now, it's the only way I can really get a grip on how the whole process will work to my benefit of understanding. After the pictures are back in iPhoto I then "understand" them to be existing in 2 separate places; one on my external hard drive, the other on my internal drive where iPhoto stores them (wherever the heck that is!).
    This brings me to my ultimate problem. I don't, at all, understand how Aperture and iPhoto would collaborate together to allow me to edit the pictures in Aperture, while still allowing iPhoto to present them to me in a "photo viewer" type of way.
    I don't know how to work with BOTH programs at the same time; Aperture AND iPhoto '08.
    I want to use Aperture to edit my pictures but I still want to use iPhoto to view my pictures. I think iPhoto is a neat little program, and would really like to keep using it. I'm just recently exploring iWeb and the two really work well together.
    Would anyone have any good tips for a beginner?
    Thank you so much

    Hi and welcome to the Mac!
    Alright. Before you do anything else, you need to stop, sit down and - as William said - watch the tutorial. In fact, you need to watch all the Aperture tutorials. Second, Aperture is database. Repeat after me: +Aperture IS a database. Aperture manages my pictures... I don't touch them, move them or copy them.+
    If you're worried about that well, don't be. Although it appears like a monolithic file in the Finder, there is no weird compression going on that makes pictures unreadable. You can always get to a photo through the Finder if need be. But I've never had to.
    With Aperture you've bought into the mother lode in terms of photo management. So please understand this: Aperture HAS to be the master here. Believe me, it'll make your life a lot easier further down the road. There are all sorts of ways to integrate Aperture in the iLife workflow. In fact a lot of iPhoto 08's (fun) functions have made it into big brother Aperture 2. My advice to you would be to use Aperture for ALL your importing, cataloging and editing and then use iPhoto on a per need basis. You can import select pictures from your AP library into iPhoto without duplicating the files by going into iPhoto's preferences/advanced and unchecking "Copy items in the iPhoto Library". This means you'll be able to drag photos from the Aperture library panel into iPhoto without duplicating anything. IPhoto will simply link to your AP library package. Things you need to be aware of:
    • read up on Aperture previews. Any picture that has a preview can be shared amongst any iLife app (iWeb included). To create an iWeb photo page for instance, you simply open iWeb, choose your template and drag the pictures you want from the media browser. Not much more difficult than iPhoto.
    • read up on import strategies. Your process as described is quite convoluted and will only lead to duplicate files all over the place. It could also generate serious problems eventually.
    Using Aperture to only do editing is like buying a Ferrari to drive in a school zone. You absolutely need to grasp the concept of the application, how it integrates with the rest of your computer life and what it can do for you. I know it may seem daunting at first and you might be tempted to revert to your old ways of doing things. But don't. You'll be a lot happier in the long run AND you'll also be making the most of your recent purchases. Trust the Mac young jedi....

  • HT4259 Direct Connect  Two Time Capsules together with Ethernet.

    I have TWO Time Capsules  ( One upstairs providing Time Machine backup to IMAC #1 )  and  (One downstairs providing Time Machine Backup to IMAC#2)
    I would like to extend the wireless network portion of this to reach the whiole house with ONE wireless network. I know I can EXTEND the network, but my question is can Connect the two time capsules together via Ethernet cable ( my house is pre wired).  This will essentially ensure that the two devices have a solid connection instead of relying on WIRELESS.
    Any reasons to NOT do this?
    Time Machine will be used differently on the two devices.
    Thanks

    Hello!
    I have the same problem, i am trying to do this
    Timecapsule nr 1, ISP uplink to WAN.
    from this one i have LAN to the other timecapsule to WAN.
    On the first timecapsule i have DHCP/NAT enable.
    On the second i have, Bridge mode.
    But when i am connected with eth to the second one i wont recive dhcp addresses or anything... like it wont passtrough.
    Any ideas?

  • Working together with the other two editors on the same project

    Dear All,
    My situation is that I have three editors working together but not in the same place, and all of us have our own FCP. In short, my question is how we can work together.
    From my understanding, I need to Recompress two copies of the media files by using Media Manager and store the files into two portable firewire hard drives to give them to the other two editors first.
    Then I really have no idea how we call exchange our bin, sequence and project after we work on it. In Avid, I know I can just copy the bin and manually put it into project folder. How about FCP?
    Thanks in advance.

    Nice suggestion.
    I've been researching digital asset management theory and practical applications for years. While doing so, I've been studying practices at production shops where several artists or technicians work on the same projects using remote connections and a variety of creative applications like Photoshop, Flash, and video editors. Without centralized network storage that is deliberately built into the hardware systems, all I have come across are complex processes that require careful policing and stringent adherence to filenaming and file placement conventions as well as mutual commitment from all parties to communicate openly, precisely, and on some kind of dependable schedule.
    All of these ad hoc management processes are doomed to failure because, just by the burden of the paperwork, they impede the flow of the job. And yet without them, all parties rapidly become confused and work is lost or duplicated needlessly, making a joke of the whole thing. As soon as one party is allowed to sidestep or ignore one step in the elaborate process, the entire process can be discarded.
    My limited experience with joint editing is to divide the project into sections and marry the segments collaboratively instead of trying to allow everyone to work the whole project at the same time.

  • Is there anyway I can get buy a Moto X customized phone?  I spent most of the day talking with Motorola and Verizon.. it seems the two companies need to have a chat on how  to freakn work together to order this phone online. I feel like a bunch of demento

    Is there anyway I can get buy a Moto X customized phone?  I spent most of the day talking with Motorola and Verizon.. it seems the two companies need to have a chat on how  to freakn work together to order this phone online. I feel like a bunch of dementors sucked the life outta me, I need chocolate and alcohol to help me feel better... eeeek!

    One thing that I finally had to do when I got my phone on MotoMaker was to buy it outright, after getting an account with Motorola--that way I could get a customized one with 32GB storage.  I recall that I could not get it in that size with the usual contract term with Verizon.  The Edge option for some reason was not available to me either, don't recall why.
    But by buying it through Motorola credit, I could spread the purchase price over 12 months--kind of Edge lite.  Then when my contract status changed over to month-to-month instead of the old-fashioned 2 year system, my line charges went down to $15 per month,  as it would using the Edge option.

    Hi...
    Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts
    Control-F4
    Move focus to the active (or next) window
    Shift-Control-F4
    Move focus to the previously active window
    By the way...  since you are new to Mac, click a clear space on your Desktop. You should see "Finder" top left corner of the screen in the menu bar.
    Click Help then click Help Center
    As an example type in    keyboard shortcuts
    You can use the Help menu for almost any application on your Mac.

    The agenda and music works ok with iCloud, but my old photos and notes not.

    Notes can be synced through iCloud as long as you have a @me.com account. The photos will need to be imported to a computer (Follow these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 ) and synced into the phones seperately through iTunes.

  • Two CalType not working together

    Hi,
       I have one pricing procedure. I have created two 971 & 981 routines (CalType) as per my requirements. The issue is that both the routines are not working correctly if they are assigned together is the pricing procedure. But if I assign any one of them only then they work work together.
      I tried putting the Break-Point in both the routines and found that the control is passed to the first routine i.e 971 only and not 981 when it's corresponding condition type is entered.
      I have activated both the routines nad executed the report RV80HGEN also.
      Kindly advise a solution. Thanks
