Description:
gfxCardStatus is an unobtrusive menu bar app for OS X that allows MacBook Pro users to see which apps are affecting their battery life by using the more power-hungry graphics.
What the menu bar icons mean:
i — you're using the integrated GPU.
d — you're using the higher-powered discrete GPU.
Features:
• Growl or Notification Center notifications when the GPU changes.
• The Dependencies list: open the gfxCardStatus menu when your discrete GPU is active to see what is turning it on.
• Manually switch to Integrated Only or Discrete Only mode to force one GPU on or the other.
gfxCardStatus is localized in 20+ languages.
