Does not like Dynamic switching (hoping this gets fixed with El Capitan).

So the remaining suspects (at least on my Late 2011 MacBook Pro 17") are So overall the H/W demands are not much even for a MacBook that was originally released way back in December 2011.

I use my MBP as a Roon Server … I must say other computer aspects like CPU usage are pretty non-demanding (like JRMC) … and my fan speeds stay low like 2000 RPM (so they are really just idling) … and free RAM is good (currently 9 GB free out of 16 GB), unlike something like Pure Music which tends to slowly gobble up RAM. When I initially experienced the problem … I was trying to alter the Roon Settings for Video Memory & CPU core usage … hoping that it was a Roon Application setting that would fix it … I was more focussed on this as a fix as, like you say, RBM has been OK with the Intel HD3000 GPU … and you are running well with the NVidia GeForce 320m.

Hi Ronnie … I actually thought yours was a simple & elegant idea … those types of ideas are often the most effective … and the most reliable… I also thought “Why did I not think of that” … plus it was definitely worth a go to save some battery life Thanks gain to everyone who has contributed to this thread … sometimes I find that I can be too close to a problem, and talking about the issue leads to a fix much sooner.Īnyway, I am grateful to everyone helping. Making sure that your system only uses the AMD graphics and does not autoswitch to Intel seems to prevent the garbling.Switch to your AMD graphics using gfxCardStatus.

Download and install gfxCardStatus from.

Good news is that it has been very stable. I was really hoping that this would work, dissapointed that it did not as the AMD graphics card is not as battery friendly (probably seeing about a 15% to 20% decrease in battery life … that is not scientific, just an ad hoc observation over the last few days).Īnyway, as far as my experience goes, the following is the only reliable fix (though it comes with a bit less battery life). Unfortunately the garbled graphics/missing fonts issue occurred within the first hour. Making sure that your system only uses the Intel HD300 graphics and does not autoswitch to AMD **Switch to your Intel HD300 graphics using gfxCardStatus OK … I tried the following experiment … that is forcing Intel instead of the AMD graphics card … Thank you to you, RBM and everyone who has posted to this thread. Great point about alerting about the battery life decreasing when using Discrete GPU like the AMD.īy the way, I am not a very fast typer I was just responding to your intial suggestion of forcing Integrated Only … right from the get go when I saw your last post.

Will update the thread if this also fix’s the issue or not. Hi Ronnie … that is a great idea … I am trying it now … “Integrated Only” that is using GFX to force it to Intel HD 3000 graphics card (right after a fresh boot of my MacBook) … then starting Roon. I think it would be interesting for those with this issue to try the “Integrated Only” option from above…which will prevent OSX from trying to switch between GPU’s…I suspect Roon will then operate fine, just as it does with your Macmini at the moment…worth somebody trying by following your above instruction sequence …but instead try Integrated rather than Discrete Before it was happening anytime from 5 minutes after starting Roon … and I have have been issue free now for the last 2 days, so it appears to have worked for me. So short answer : you need to be using AMD (“Discrete Only” in GFX drop down menu) right from the get go … before ever starting Roon.įollowing the process that RBM articualted above … well I have not had one instance at all !!! of the garbled fonts/graphics. If I did not follow this process in the order specified as per the bullet points above … say use the Intel graphics card for a while with Roon, then even manually switching to AMD would not save me. Just a note that it is very important not to have Roon automatically start at login (bullet point 3 from RBM) or manually start Roon … prior to using gfxCardStatus utility to select your AMG graphics card which is bullet point 4 by RBM (the option in the drop down menu of GFX should be called “Discrete Only”). Hi RBM, Thank you for doing the bullet points of what worked for me, that is great (easier to read than what I wrote previously ). It has been perfect for the last 24 hours, I am happy with this. Short answer : What is different…So it was on AMD before I ever started Roon for the first time.Previously I was waiting until I had a graphics issue in Roon before switching graphics cards.
