Been a while since I've posted about this Macbook Pro (It's the early 09 17" with the GeForce 9400M/9600M GT combo), but I finally want to see if I can resolve this issue. In Catalina, I can't get the system to switch to the 9600 GT. I've tried both using the terminal and gSwitch, but neither have produced any results. I don't really use this a computer a whole lot so while it's not the end of the world, I'd really like to be able to switch to the dedicated GPU for better performance if I can. I almost exclusively use this on the power adapter, and the battery is a recently replaced quality unit that shouldn't be causing any issues.
