![]() Will update the thread if this also fix’s the issue or not. Hi Ronnie … that is a great idea … I am trying it now … “Integrated Only” that is using GFX to force it to Intel HD 3000 graphics card (right after a fresh boot of my MacBook) … then starting Roon. I think it would be interesting for those with this issue to try the “Integrated Only” option from above…which will prevent OSX from trying to switch between GPU’s…I suspect Roon will then operate fine, just as it does with your Macmini at the moment…worth somebody trying by following your above instruction sequence …but instead try Integrated rather than Discrete Before it was happening anytime from 5 minutes after starting Roon … and I have have been issue free now for the last 2 days, so it appears to have worked for me. So short answer : you need to be using AMD (“Discrete Only” in GFX drop down menu) right from the get go … before ever starting Roon.įollowing the process that RBM articualted above … well I have not had one instance at all !!! of the garbled fonts/graphics. If I did not follow this process in the order specified as per the bullet points above … say use the Intel graphics card for a while with Roon, then even manually switching to AMD would not save me. Just a note that it is very important not to have Roon automatically start at login (bullet point 3 from RBM) or manually start Roon … prior to using gfxCardStatus utility to select your AMG graphics card which is bullet point 4 by RBM (the option in the drop down menu of GFX should be called “Discrete Only”). Hi RBM, Thank you for doing the bullet points of what worked for me, that is great (easier to read than what I wrote previously ). It has been perfect for the last 24 hours, I am happy with this. And if you're planning to buy a new Macbook Pro later down the line, this tool is definitely a must have feature for you to be able to fully utilize your Macbook Pro when it comes out of the box.Short answer : What is different…So it was on AMD before I ever started Roon for the first time.Previously I was waiting until I had a graphics issue in Roon before switching graphics cards. So even if you're running a more mature integrated graphics card and dual core processor in your Macbook Pro, it's still possible to keep track of the speed and temperature of your card. ![]() With just a few clicks, you can compare your available options, identify the best option based on your needs, and run the necessary action to complete the process. As you can see, with the simple installation process, this utility is very useful for Mac OS X users who need to make frequent changes to their active gpu or discrete card. This is especially helpful if you've just installed a new integrated graphics card or dual core processor. The benefits of this utility are pretty clear: if you're using an older Mac OS X, such as Leopard, and you're going to upgrade to a newer Mac OS X (such as Mountain Lion), having this utility to compare your cards will save you some time and hassle. Also, in the discrete mode, the application can display up to 16 active monitors, whereas in the integrated-only mode only the monitor list is displayed. ![]() The main difference between the two is that, in integrated-only mode, the status only lists the name of the card, while in desktop mode, it displays the manufacturer, model, card type, RAM, and frequencies. You can select from multiple options on the software menu to display the different cards that are running, such as integrated-only mode, desktop mode, or discrete mode. ![]() ![]() The setup is quite simple: just download the gfxcardstatus, install it and then let it run to identify which graphics card is running. It also helps if you're upgrading your system or want to upgrade one card to another. If you have multiple graphics cards, or dual-cards, this free utility can help you maintain your configuration and ensure that each card is running properly. This useful utility displays a bar showing the status of your graphics cards, allowing you to quickly identify which card is not working, and enables you to quickly switch to the card that's working well. GFXCard Status is an open-source utility for OS X that displays which graphics card is currently being used on MacBook Pro (and the older iMac) by monitoring a console. ![]()
