GFXCardStatus Lets You Manually Switch MacBook Pro Graphics

gfxCardStatus is an open-source menu bar application that keeps track of which graphics card your 2010 MacBook Pro is using at any given time, and allows you to switch between them manually.

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.
