There is a fork off the main build by steveschow available that seems to fix that problem for current versions of MacOS such as ElCapitan and Sierra. There is an acknowledged bug in the current version of Cody Kreiger's Open-Source gfxcardstatus, and the developer has confessed he does not have time to fix it right now. The alternative is replacing the logic board, which is not cost effective on a machine that old, unless gfx does not resolve the issue and you really want to keep this MBP. This may allow your MBP to run normally, although it will have reduced graphics performance when permforming demanding graphics tasks. It will allow your MBP to run on integrated graphics only, bypassing the discrete GPU which has the issues.
Install gfxCardStatus ( ) and set it to "i" (integrated graphics only). You lose the ability to attach an external display, and certain filtering operations will be noticeably slower. They disable the Discrete graphics processor and allow the machine to continue to work on just the Integrated graphics processor. Below you'll see a list of products that are still on the "Vintage" list that've not yet moved to "Obsolete.There are these hobbyist hacks. It does seem odd that a 2012 product would move from one list to the other before devices released earlier than this. According to a note obtained by MacRumors today, Apple will move this computer to the "obsolete" list as of June 30, 2020.Īs this device is moved from the "Vintage" list over to the list of "Obsolete" devices, one can reasonably assume some similar devices will also move there soon. If you've got a device that fits that description and you've been meaning to get it in for a checkup or a fix, now's the time to do so. Today's news deals with the Mid-2012 model of the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Older devices that'll soon be moved to the list of obsolete hardware can still be fixed now – until that day comes. Once a device has been added to the obsolete list, Apple no longer offers support at their official Apple Store repair desk. Apple will soon move another MacBook to the official "obsolete" list, a list where old Apple products go out to pasture.
