I’ve been very disappointed with the implementation of Thunderbolt in general. Updated : This setup works fine though I haven’t really used it, or the cable, since this post. It will not work with the integrated graphics, just as the Mini DisplayPort adapters also won’t work in that mode.
#Gfxcardstatus integrated only not working pro#
One note, for those using gfxCardStatus you will need to make sure you’re MacBook Pro is using “Discrete” graphics. To use the iMac as an external display just hit Command + F2 to set it to Target Display Mode. I didn’t notice any problems involving flickering, refresh oddities, or graphic artifacts. It costs $50 and seems to work with my gear. I opted out and read that I could simply use GfxCardStatus, v2.3 on Integrated graphics only. Anywho, Found out it was out-of-warranty and took it to the geniuses who quoted me at 310 to have the motherboard et cetera repaired. There isn’t much more to write about the cable. Seems there is a definite trend with these MB's and their graphics cards failing. If you’re trying to mix Thunderbolt and Mini DisplayPort connections it probably won’t work though I haven’t tested this extensively. Note that I’m connecting from a MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt to an iMac (also with Thunderbolt). This occasional setup will also save me the trouble of needing to setup a spare monitor somewhere else in the house (such as the dining room table). In my case I purchased it so I could use my iMac as an external display with my MacBook Pro.įrom time to time I need to be able to do some work that is more efficient when using two displays. It’s not every day that I decide to spend $50 for one cable but it does add some functionality that I will find useful. I finally dropped the cash for an Apple Thunderbolt cable.
