[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1887028, member: 56379"] Why do you think the integrated GPU is not used...and what proof do you have it's not used? Computers with both an integrated GPU & discrete GPU have always been engineered so that the integrated GPU is used when doing less strenuous tasks...and the discrete GPU used when more powerful graphics/video tasks are done. It has always been this way. For example...if you're checking email with the Apple Mail app...I can pretty much assure you ONLY the integrated GPU is being used.:) Nick [/QUOTE]
