Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5200 and Photoshop effects

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

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.

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

I am lost and cant find a final answer to the following.

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Is the Intel Iris Pro in the new 15" rMBP sufficient for my needs?

Greetings all! Long time reader, first time poster here
I've been holding off purchasing a new machine until the new rMBP models were released, and...here they are finally!
My goal here is to find out if the integrated GPU (15" rMBP) is going to be good enough for my usage pattern, versus spending the extra money and getting the model with the GeForce GT 750m GPU. I work as a Web Developer primarily; with some iOS/Android dev on the side (xCode & Eclipse mainly). Photoshop use is a daily occurance, but I don't do anything overly technical with it...mainly just chopping up PSD's for front-end web dev.
The reason i'm curious about the GPU is because of the light gaming I plan on doing. I plan on selling off my current MBP(2010) and also getting rid of my windows desktop that is used solely for gaming. The only games I play, and the only ones I will be playing for the forseeable future are World of Warcraft and some Diablo 3 perhaps. I'm not expecting top tier performance, i'm not expecting it rival the graphics performance of my desktop. Will I lose graphics power if I choose the entry level model that was just released today, when compared to the entry level 15" rMBP that has been on the market up until now? If so, is the difference negligible? I'm 100% on board for the Crystalwell processor, so I need to make sure that I get enough GPU power for my WoW addiction ^_^
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks a ton!
~Steve

WoW and D3 should run very well with the integrated Intel Iris Pro 5200 (rMBP 15")...:

Which graphic card is best for running illustrator (an Intel Iris Pro or Nvedia)?

I am thinking on buying a new machine for carrying on my job. Uptill now i was working on windows with an iGPU and i was facing problems in rendering effects or generating previews in Adobe Illustrator. Now i am looking for a good dedicated GPU which can easily take its load. I do moderately heavy works (average file size 150mb).

No, its not a dedicated GPU. But still will it able to do the job? i am thinking of buying a 15" macbook.
The 15"retina version has these three options for graphics
-Intel iris graphics
-intel Iris pro graphics
-intel iris pro graphics + nvidia GeForce GT750m
The later two are kinda out of budget and i also think that these are way more than what i be actually needing. So, will Intel iris graphic be fine or i should look for some other machine (Dell or ASUS) with NVIDIA graphics since apple has no options for NVIDIA in lower versions.

Intel Iris Pro and Boot Camp Gaming?

So I'm just wondering how the Intel Iris Pro, and Boot Camp Gaming go together? I just got a 15inch Mac Book Pro with:
2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
256GB PCIe-based flash storage
Intel Iris Pro Graphics
My question is, can this Macbook run games, (or just Star Wars the Old Republic), in max settings in Boot Camp?

I am assuming this is a custom-built dust prevention solution, yes?
Anyways, I received my replacement SuperDrive and just realized that due to Windows and Mac's limitations in regards to hard drives larger than 2.2 TB, I can't have any of my 3TB drives with both OS X and Windows without having at least two separate HFS partitions on them since the Windows partition must be in the fourth partition, requiring OS X to be in partition 2, Recovery in partition 3, and the combined size of these first four partitions must be under 2.2 TB.
At least that's my understanding. I currently have three 3 TB drives and one 1 TB drive (which contains Windows XP and 7 only).
I'm not really not sure if Windows has to be in the fourth partition because as I mentioned, my 1 TB drive has EFI in partition 1, Windows XP in partition 2, and Windows 7 in partition 3. I have OS 10.9 on one 3 TB drive, OS 10.7 on the second 3 TB drive, and no OS on the third 3 TB drive. I would prefer to install Windows 8 on that third 3 TB drive and yet have only one HFS partition because my desktop is already seemingly over-crowded with all the internal drives and partitions it has (I also have a 500GB SSD drive which is my 10.10 boot volume, plugged into one of the two unused SATA motherboard ports).
My plan is to first determine if I can now break the 1 TB drive barrier I ran into before and install two Windows OSs on a 2 TB drive (technically, I am going to clone my 1 TB Windows partitions onto the 2 TB drive). Next, I will attempt to partition a 3 TB drive with Windows 8 in partition 2 and HFS in partition 3.

Which macbook pro for lightroom and photoshop

Have my eye on the two 15" models. One with Intel iris pro graphics, the other that also has the nvidia gt 750m. Maybe I'm making mountains from molehills. You can tell me if you think that's the case
I will use my laptop at home always attached to a large screen. It's what I do with my current, April 2008 macbook pro. Right now a 25" NEC. I may add an additional screen as well, so I might have two screens besides the laptop, one attached via hdmi.
Right now I don't do video work. No gaming concerns for me. Photoshop and Lightroom the bulk of my work. 70,000 image Lr catalog. Large size photoshop files. Well near 1 gb sometimes with several layers.
If I buy the mbp with just the intel iris pro graphics card I'm thinking to upgrade processor to 2.5ghz. Will also upgrade ssd to 500gb. Or do I need, will I benefit from the nvidia card and card switching, dgpu?
I've just been reading about problems with the discrete graphics card version. Problems with freezing video, some with problems looking at certain websites via a browser firefox or safari. I wonder if that's only with older versions of the mbp.
And that the mbp with the dgpu, the nvidia gt 750m always uses that card when there is an external monitor attached. Creates additional heat for the computer.
Just looking for some advice before i hand over the cash. There is only a 100 difference in price so in the end I'm not concerned about cost. Just want a computer to do what I need, do it well, and for me to have as few problems as possible. I do like to keep my computers a long time. This current mbp is seven years old in a month. The computer I had before that, a G4, lasted me eight years.
thanks for advice...

The 2.6 Haswell i7 processor should be just fine - you really don't need the faster processors. Since Lightroom caches so much, though, it would be nice to keep most of that in RAM - much faster than writing/reading to a flash storage device - so I would recommend 16GB of RAM as you cannot ever upgrade the RAM on your own (or even through Apple).
You should be able to do anything on your MacBook Pro as on your iMac - albeit on a smaller screen!

Is Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB the same as NVIDIA GeForce in Macbook Pro Retina?

I bought the Macbook Pro with the dedicated graphics card, which should be a NVIDIA but when I look at the system profile it shows Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB, Is this the same thing?

The higher end MacBook Pros have both the Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB, and the NVIDIA GeForce. The Iris pro is integrated into the CPU, and the NVIDIA is a separate graphics card. By default, it will switch between the two graphics cards based on your computer's demands at the moment. It will use the Iris to save power, and the NVIDIA for better performance. The one it is showing you in that About this Mac page is the one it is using at that moment. Open an application like Photoshop, plug in a monitor, or run some graphic intense processes, and then click about this mac, and you will see that it has changed. You can disable this, and make it always use the faster graphics card by going into System Preferences > Energy Saver and then uncheck automatic graphics switching. This will use more power, though, and the performance increase will be minimal.

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.

I'm planning to buy a iMac 21.5, 2.7Ghz with Intel Iris Pro 5200 and i was wondering if this would help me work on my Lightroom and Photoshop with ease... Please provide your feedback

I am having doubts on the Intel Irish Pro 5200, dont know will it work fine for the latest versions of Photoshop and Lightroom and other Graphics software as this version is said to be the basic and was wondering if it would help for the type of work i do.

Nothing specific against the Iris Pro graphics ...
Just that it's the GPU in the lowest-end iMac model. The software you intend to use (Photoshop, Lightroom,etc) are resource intensive applications and the more powerful system you have the better they perform.
And there is more to performance than just the GPU ... CPU type/speed, VRAM, disk speed for starters. If your use of PS, LR etc. is light and you expect it to remain light, then maybe the low-end iMac will be fine. But if you are any kind of prosumer/power user I suspect you will quickly discover the performance limitations of the low-end model. I'd point you at least to the next model "up."
