[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1887097, member: 46727"] I think there is confusion over this... The Intel CPU in your iMac and mine have a GPU integrated within it. In your case an i9 and mine as an i5 have this built in capability. However, since both your iMac and mine have discrete graphics (Radeon), the built in graphics is not used. Actually, it's probably turned off as there is no need for it. The Activity monitor clearly shows that the internal GPU is not in use (0 % across the board). I'm curious though, why are you even pursuing this? Are you concerned about the graphics performance of your iMac? [/QUOTE]
