Iris Pro 1024 capabilities

I just received a late model (2013) Macbook Pro w/ Retina 15"as a gift. Either due to confusion of my relative, or miscommunication via the salesman, I have a base model with only the Iris Pro 1024 graphics card. The only information I have been able to find on what it is capable of doing/being used for, is for video editing. As there is no other graphics card, I'd imagine any game play would problematic or am I wrong in thinking that? I am not familiar with this model of graphics card, and am new to Mac hardware and software. So what is the Iris Pro capable of doing and can I use Steam Play or older games on this unit?

your model has an Intel Iris Pro 5200 if it is the late 2013 15" 2.0 GHz model

What processor speed is the Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB IMAC?

What processor speed is the Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB IMAC?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Intel Iris Pro is the GPU that comes with the most basic Late 2013 iMac and the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. This iMac comes with a 2'7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5. See > http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/imac

Can I control the Iris Pro graphics frame rate or other settings?

I'm having an issue with a game. The game runs fine, but the graphics processing makes the frame rate go up to 100 or more FPS depending on some of the graphics settings. The CPU temperature then quickly climbs to 200 degrees F. I consider this unsafe, and would like to limit the frame rate of the game. However, the in-game option to control the frame rate has no effect. After discussions with the technical support, they suggest I try to set graphics settings outside of the game. (To be fair, the Mac client for the game is in beta, so they've probably not worked out all the compatability issues yet.)
However, I can find no control panel for the Intel Iris Pro in OSX Mavericks. Is it possible to limit/throttle the graphics from OSX Mavericks, or from terminal commands? The display settings give me resolution, brightness and color, but nothing as advanced as frame rate.
System:
15-inch Retina, late 2013
2 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB
OSX 10.9.1

Create a new sequence with the settings you want - File > New > Sequence.
Take one of your 25fps video files and edit (or drag) it to the timeline of that just created sequence. You should be prompted to match the sequence settings to the source clip. Say yes. You can now click on the clip sitting on the timeline that you used to set the sequence settings. This will select it and then you can delete it by using the backspace key.
You should now have an empty sequence with the settings you want.
Return to your original sequence with the wrong frame rate, and click anywhere on the timeline. Type Command + A to select all the clips on you timeline, and then Command + C to copy them.
Switch to your new (empty) sequence and click anywhere in it. Type Command + V to paste your clips. You should now have your edited clips on the a sequence with the settings you want.

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.

Iris Pro 5200 or similar in 13'' rMBPs

Hi,
To my understanding the very reason why Apple opted to employ Iris 5100 instead of Iris Pro 5200 in its late 2013 and mid 2014 13'' models is because of the energy (28 vs 47 watt TDP) they drain. In other words, if Apple had employed Iris Pro 5200 in 13'' rMBPs, then the battery life would have decreased compared to earlier 13'' rMBP iterations, which would be a wrong step for Apple and something unacceptable to consumers.
In this regard I was wondering:
1) approx. how much the battery would decrease if Iris Pro 5200 were employed in Haswell rMBPs?
2) From the Wikipedia article on Broadwell and its "expected variants" section, I gather that one of the Broadwell CPUs will be a 37 Watt TDP dual-core CPU with an embedded GPU that has an integrated eDRAM. 37 watts is still quite not near to 28 watt but considering the fact that Broadwell is said to be that it will be significatly more power efficient compared to Haswell, do you think such CPU would be employed in the Braodwell iteration of 13'' rMBP without negatively affecting its 9 hours battery life?

Apple doesn't release hardware specs of upcoming models, and such discussion is forbidden on this forum. Apple has a very tight non-disclosure agreement for those who do test its products.
I am not asking for insider information nor a position at Apple but rather opinions from tech-savvy users who might have insight due to their knowledge and/or using Macs for some time. Just as Oglethorpe who provided a different perspective based on info on previous Apple products. I am sure there must be some forumites who would know technical details and may deduce, at least approx., what current 13'' models battery life would be if they were employed with Iris Pro 5200 and whether the Broadwell update may see an integrated GPU with eDRAM similar to Iris Pro 5200. For instance guys at Anandtech make some projections based on their technical knowledge. Are they working at or for Apple? Are they testing for them and violating a disclosure agreement? Of course not! In short, I am really surprised how you could interpret my query this way.

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.

Is it possible to upgrade MacBook Pro 15inch iris pro Retina display version to Nvidia graphics card?

Hi
I purchased a MacBook Pro 15inch iris pro Retina display version (£1599) recently.
Can we upgrade tit with Nvidia graphics card?
Thanks

In USA, you can return a Mac within 14 days of purchase and buy a new one with the desired spec.
Retina MacBook Pro cannot be upgraded once bought.
Best.

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!

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

Intel Iris Pro on a mac mini?

Hello to everyone,
well I suppose that Apple is going to replace all intel 4000 GPU with the Intel Iris Pro. Is there any information about using this hardware in mac mini too? Is there any official anouncement about that? This Iris Pro is sharing the CPU or is it a part of it? Does this GPU has any GDDR5 VRAM or it is using the DDR3 main system RAM? Does this Iris Pro gives better results than a seperately GPU with even 512MB GDDR5 memory?

Iris and Iris Pro are the integrated graphics that come with
the Haswell series processors. It is not a "seperate" option.
As far as the performance and architecture of Iris or Iris Pro,
Google and after the first few hits you should understand how it
works.
As to what will be in the next gen Mini and when it will be released,
only the insiders at Apple know that and they can't talk.
I will say that the Mini has had the same form factor for quite a
while, so maybe there will be a complete make over.

Does anyone know how well the Intel Iris Pro installed on new 15" MacBook Pros performs using Photoshop and Lightroom? I have seen some differing opinions out there, and I would rather not shell out the extra cash for the Nvidia if I don't have to. I mostly do photo editing for business and personal use. I have not used the 3D function in Photoshop, but I would like to know that I could.

You could download a trial and see how well it works before committing to a subscription. You get 30 days to decide.

Unable to play Ram Preview, Iris Pro problem?

Hi, I cannot play the ram preview, when I click the button the image gets flipped and frozen. I can scrub the timeline and see the animation I am working on, but I need a real-time preview. I downloaded the last after effects patch for mavericks, but I think this is an issue with the Iris Pro graphics card. I really need help with this as I am in the middle of a project... thanks!

See this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5484272#5484272
The upshot is that your GPU is not compatible with After Effects CC (12.0). This problem will go away with the After Effects CC (12.1) update due out this week. See the part on this page about Intel GPUs:

Intel Iris Pro GPU in new Macbook Pros supported by the Mercury Playback Engine?

Is the Intel Iris Pro GPU in the new Macbook Pros supported by the Mercury Playback Engine?

Hi,
I've been wondering the same thing. I watched this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATKDuQOQw9k
if you jump to 07:50 the dude clearly shows that it IS supported in PPRo CC (which I have), but when I go to the project settings on my new MBP 15" with identical specs, the area where I can select gpu support is greyed out with no options to change from software only. Did the expert guy in the video accidentally show the settings from his old NVIDIA MBP? Very confusing!! Also, there's a lot of publicity around the Intel Iris Pro's great ability to render Open CL with Adobe PPRo. And even a video about it here:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/videos/accelerating-video-production-with-opencl-and-intel -iris-graphics
Is this only for PC?? If so I imagine Adobe can get this going on Mac pretty damn fast, no?
Please advise Adobe folk!
Thanks!

Cs6 on mbp with iris or iris pro

Can I use all the features of cs6 on the 2013 MacBook Pro with iris or iris pro integrated graphics or am I better off buying the 2012 mbp 15 non retina with nvidia gt650m card?

It sounds like your MBA power adapter is dead. Replace it with the 85 Watt for the Macbook Pro. I just bought one 2 weeks ago and was delighted to discover it has the low profile magsafe connector that works just fine with the MBA. The Macbook Pro adapters work on everything, so that's all I buy when power adapters fail.

Performance of AIR Windows desktop app on Intel i7 4770R & integrated Intel Iris Pro 5200 128MB

I'm developing a Full HD AIR desktop application to run on Windows, and it is likely to use the classic display list, rather than Starling. There will be quite a bit of animation on screen, mostly using GSAP Tween engine.
I usually spec a fast i5 / i7 CPU, with a decent NVidia card such as a Geforce GTX 560. My hardware supplier has advised they cannot provide my requested CPU & GPU combination, and have instead recommended an Intel Core i7 4770R (quad-core, 3.2 GHz) (Turbo up to 3.9 GHz), with integrated graphics Intel Iris Pro 5200 w/128MB eDRAM. The specification of the CPU & GPU look ok, but I wondered if anyone has any experience of using either this CPU or GPU with AIR desktop applications, and what they think to the performance? Should the low amount of 128MB RAM on the integrated graphics be a concern?

1.Make sure you understand the big differences between video and stagevideo, its tempting to think that stagevideo is the better videosoultion in any case, but its not.
The best Article (however a little outdated) on the subject is imo: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/stage_video.html
2.In a performance heavy environment the combination stageVideo+greensock might not be the optimal solution, if you have time to reprogram Starling/feathers will probably give you a much better performing combination:
http://forum.starling-framework.org/topic/stagevideo-with-starling-example
3.I don`t know how you encode your Backgroundvideo, there are literally dozens of viable codecs that should differ extremly in how they stress the gpu/cpu. Maybe you have to experiment with a lower than HD resoultion and see if scaling up the background is a good compromise.
