The setup is quite simple: just download the gfxcardstatus, install it and then let it run to identify which graphics card is running. You can select from multiple options on the software menu to display the different cards that are running, such as integrated-only mode, desktop mode, or discrete mode. The main difference between the two is that, in integrated-only mode, the status only lists the name of the card, while in desktop mode, it displays the manufacturer, model, card type, RAM, and frequencies. Also, in the discrete mode, the application can display up to 16 active monitors, whereas in the integrated-only mode only the monitor list is displayed.
If you ever want to know which graphics card your Apple MacBook Pro is using, then gfxcardstatus is the perfect utility. The MacBook Pro has what is called switchable or dynamic switching graphics. When your system needs a lot of graphics processing power for things like video encoding, picture editing or especially gaming, the computer switches from lowered powered integrated graphics to higher powered discrete graphics.
