    Macbook 16 inch not using AMD card

    in Crashes & Technical Issues

    Posted

    Hi Jimmy, thanks for responding.

    It does say its using the AMD card, but the macOS system still says its using the intel integrated card.


    I also use istats menu to check on the usage, but the processor status of the AMD card says 0% usage, even if i turn the automatic graphic switching off.

    Anyhow, maybe it is using it.. still the game overall is laggy; similar as this topic. And yes I'm currently on the beta, which is a little bit better.

    Macbook 16 inch not using AMD card

    in Crashes & Technical Issues

    Summary:

    Hello, I recently bought the new 16 inch macbook pro with AMD Radeon Pro 5500M graphics card inside of it. But it's not being used. Whatever I try, maybe I missed a setting somewhere??

    Description of Issue:

    The dedicated graphics card is not being used. Event disabling automatic changing of GPU in energy settings keeps using the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630

    Steps to Reproduce:

    Just start the game, check activity and go to energy; there's a table there saying video card, has to be "YES" to use the dedicated gpu.

    See my screenshot, sorry it is dutch but it makes sense:

    JA is yes

    NEE is no

    Check the "Videokaart" column, as you can see Photoshop is working with it.

    As you can clearly see it isnt working.

    And i am not the first with this issue; see here, altough he presumes its a mac issue not a game issue. Then why is photoshop working?
