gfxCardStatus

gfxCardStatus is an open-source menu bar application that keeps track of which graphics card your dual-GPU (late 2008/2009/2010) MacBook Pro is using at any given time, and allows you to switch between them.

Features:
  • Simple, clean "i" and "n" icons that signify Intel® HD Graphics, and NVIDIA® GeForce GT 330M graphics, respectively
  • Automatically updates when the GPU switches, in real time
  • Allows you to manually switch GPUs on demand!
  • Dependent process list - see which applications are currently using the 330M, if it's the active GPU!
  • Growl support - so you know right when the GPU switches
  • Tiny footprint - doesn't sit in your menu bar and hog RAM or CPU cycles
  • Automatic application updating - checks for, downloads and installs new versions of gfxCardStatus automatically!

Note: only for 2010 MacBook Pros with Intel® Core i5/i7 processors and the NVIDIA® GeForce GT 330M GPU। Experimental support for 2009 MacBook Pros with the 9400/9600 GPUs is also currently available.
