How to Disable Graphics Card Switching on MacBook Pro This may lead to better performance but it will almost certainly impact battery life on the MacBook Pro as well. Note that by disabling GPU switching, you will always use the discrete higher performance graphics card, which uses more energy.

vmx file while the VM is powered off, and add =Intel if you prefer using Intel GPU all the time (even when 3rd party apps force the mac switch to the high power NVIDIA GPU.Generally speaking GPU switching is a great feature that should not be modified or adjusted in any way, but some advanced Mac users may wish to disable the automatic graphics card switching feature on MacBook Pro models. vmx file while the VM is powered off, and add =Intel if you prefer using Intel GPU all the time (even when 3rd party apps force the mac switch to the high power NVIDIA GPU.) choose Use High Performance Graphics for 3D Applications Only, if you don't mind occasionally using NVIDIA GPU.The fix is simple, but it's unclear at the moment whether there will be another Fusion 11.5.x release which we could target for the fix. We thought Fusion 11.5.x wasn't affected, but in hindsight we were wrong.

This issue was caught internally during Fusion 12 development and is fixed on Fusion. It happens because NVIDIA Kepler GPUs lack one feature (programmable sample positions) which all other Metal capable GPUs support (including the IvyBridge/Haswell Intel GPUs included on these dual GPU macs.) So when the VM switches from the lower power to high power GPU it complains about this missing feature. The issue is rare and requires lots of conditions to happen: it only happens on dual Intel+NVIDIA GPU macs, when Don't Use High Performance Graphics is selected, and the mac switches from Intel to NVIDIA (due to 3rd party applications requesting the high power GPU.) Help is appreciated for solving this problem.

I'm a user of VMware Fusion since version 6 and currently using 11.5.7 on a MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, late 2013, running macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave).
