Īfter made you can boot from a non-APFS or legacy USB Mac the USB BigSur Installer from apple startup manager, and to upgrade or install it, open an Utilities terminal and type: Then apply the "BigSur BaseSystem legacy usb fix", after unplug and plug again your USB drive and apply the "BigSur BaseSystem legacy usb fix2".

sudo launchctl start -> NVIDIA GPU becomes the only one GPU used by system, no more switching possible.

sudo launchctl stop -> restore macOS BS GPU switching capabilities.

It is very promising !! I still need to understand why displaypolicyd is blocking GPU switching on my setup and why other people like are not facing the issue.

The whole Macbook Pro temperature is back to normal (compared to Mojave/Catalina) after switching to Intel GPU.GPU Switching is efficient -> Once culprit process killed, macOS BS runs on the intel chipset but switches to the NVIDIA GPU when power is required by apps.GPU Switching settings in macOS BS (Battery / Power settings panel) are working (switch and save preferences) once you have killed the displaypolicyd process.Why is it blocking GPU switching ? What is the impact of killing this process ? This process (launched during macOS startup) also exists in previous macOS versions but does not block switching. process diplaypolicyd is blocking GPU switching.GfxCardStatus does not seems to be mandatory, even if it is very useful to stick macOS BS on the Intel or NVIDIA GPU (or let it do is automatic switching).Quitting the application that requires the powerful GPU allows macOS BS to switch back on Intel -> same behaviour than in Mojave/Catalina ! In macOS BS: if setting "Automatic Graphic Switching" is on (and the displaypolicyd has been killed before) then the Intel card is used, launching an application that requires a more powerful GPU (ex: Unigine Valley Benchmark) will switch the GPU to NVIDIA.It the same thing with GfxCardStatus which start to work only when this process is killed. if I kill the process " displaypolicyd" then macOS BS is able to switch back and force between Intel / NVIDIA.MBP starts on NVIDIA card and never switch back to Intel BUT : On my setup (MBP 15 Retina mid-2012) GPU switching by macOS is not working (clean install of BS using Barry's micro patch).

Posted in IT, tech | Tagged hardware | Leave a reply Netgear GS716T v3: Firmware update to V6.3.1.I have done some additional testing about GPU switching. Would have loved to go with a RAID-5 but for now I can always use the provided system tools. The Icy Box seems to work fine so far, and it feels quite fast (no scientific test/speed runs here) to copy large files around – it’s definitely a lot faster and responsive than the NAS in the same room. Only attached to one computer compared to a NAS – but possibly more speed.4x 1TB -> 3TB to use), but only one drive can fail there RAID-5 would give you 75% of the capacity (e.g.

a software raid on top of another software raid, not sure yet if you can move it between macs?.

faster than a NAS with up to 10 Gbit/s via USB3.1 (Gen2, UASP).fast(mirrored & striped) compared to JBOD, single drives.up to 2 drives can fail here and it would still work (1 on each RAID-1).

If you have 4 drives you get 50% of the capacity (e.g.

Now as you have 2 RAID-1s, it makes sense to combine them to a RAID-0 – set the same block size and works fine. Then I did the same steps again with the second two disks, named it raid1_2. Just create a RAID-10 out of 2 RAID-1 combined by a RAID-0.įor my use case I used the largest block size and named the first RAID-1 raid1_1. Who would know that once you have 4 drives you can’t just create a RAID5 with the disk utility? The only obvious options are RAID0, RAID1 and JBOD.īut there is a trick here if you want to use the RAID Assistant. In Disk Utility, go to File > RAID Assistant… Setting up a RAID-10 with Apple Disk Utility Noise level is not super silent but ok, maybe I switch the fan later on. Starting up, all 4 SSDs were directly detected by my MacBook Pro. Packaging was thankfully good as it was not delivered in a brown box around it.Īdding 4 SSD drives was a bit of a fiddling, but once the two screws per drive were attached and the sliders were in the case it was fine.
