9400/9600 macbook pro

With the new macbook pro, will the graphics change on it's own? Like when you play a game will it go from the 9400 to the 9600? Or do I have to change it myself?

A little reading would reveal that you have to manually change it, log out, log back in, and boom.

I did read that but just didn't want to believe it.


On a side note the 9400 plays wow pretty damn good.

From the User's Guide:

To switch between processors, open System Preferences, click Energy Saver, select “Better battery life” or “Higher performance,” and then follow the onscreen instructions.

Bad graphics card?

Oh man... picked up a basic MBP today from the store and am currently on the 9600 'better performance' mode, and am noticing that when I click buttons during web browsing, a 1" subtle horizontal yellow strip (a few strips actually) flashes briefly across the middle of the screen. Not good.

Going to switch to 9400 'better battery' mode to see if I can repro.

Anyone else witness this at all?
