gfxcardstatus integrated only not working

#GFXCARDSTATUS INTEGRATED ONLY NOT WORKING MAC OS X#

the fact that I am seeing similar performance depending on the hardware selected at boot-time is what's bothering me. I'm not expecting similar performance between different hardware setups. perhaps I was a little unclear in my first post.

#GFXCARDSTATUS INTEGRATED ONLY NOT WORKING MAC OS X#

Dec 2010, 09:11 Primary OS: Mac OS X Leopard VBox Version: OSE Debian Guest OSses: WinXP SP3, Xubuntu 10.04 but it's like it can't see the nVidia hardware if the guest OS isn't booted with it running.Īny thoughts / ideas? Perhaps this a bug? Or maybe it's a limitation of WinXP during the boot or something? tayl3730 Posts: 2 Joined: 20.

So the VM can handle the actual switching events between graphics hardware just fine. switching back and forth between nVidia and Intel gives repeatable expected results. it is able to make use of the hardware switch. under this scenario (booted with nVidia), the VM behaves how I would expect. switching to Intel graphics makes performance drop (framerates around 30~40). However, if I boot the XP VM with nVidia graphics, I get excellent performance under nVidia hardware (game framerate is >100). within that same boot of the VM, if I switch my graphics hardware through the host OS (with gfxCardStatus) to nVidia, I still see poor results. I'm not sure if this is a problem with gfxCardStatus v1.8.1 (a small OS X program used to switch between graphics hardwares) or Virtualbox necessarily, but when I boot the VM using Intel graphics, and load up an old game inside WinXP, I get very poor frame rates. In case you're unfamiliar, Apple made these laptops with ability to switch between integrated Intel graphics or the onboard nVidia graphics hardware. depending on whether I boot the VM using Intel graphics, or nVidia graphics (using a 2010 MBP). I am seeing different performance results when running a WinXP SP3 VM inside a Mac OS 10.6.5 host.
