gfxCardStatus problem

[monsow]

Hi Folks...

I'm having a problem with gffxCardStatus... Lately my MPB 13 2011, somewhy reduces my battery life to 3-4 hours on a full charge (used to get 6+ a week ago), so I decided to run Integrated Grapichs only... but whenever I switch to Integrated graphics, gfxCardStatus shows its on dymanic switching after 5 secs, I dont know why I cant force my graphics to be on Integrated only, any1 can help? thanks in advance

I just had look at the Apple website. The 13" only have 1 graphics which means you don't need that gfx...... software at all

The 2011 mbp do not have a discrete gpu They only have integrated. Maybe that's why you're having problems. you're telling it to switch with a program when there is nothing to switch too....That's the reason I took my 2011 back and bought a 2010 mbp Cha-Ching! Discrete graphics!
