    Disable Automatic GPU Switching on MacBook Pro
    This will disable GPU switching and force the MacBook Pro to use the higher powered discrete graphics card rather than the integrated GPU.

    1. Go to the  Apple menu and choose “System Preferences” and then go to “Energy” control panel
    2. Uncheck the box next to “Automatic graphics switching”
    3. Note the text which states this may decrease battery life on the MacBook Pro “When automatic switching is disabled, your computer will always use high-performance graphics. This may decrease battery life.” – if you are not OK with that do not disable this option
    4. Close out of System Preferences
    1. 2.
