Hey guys,
Today I updated to 10.8.3 and it seems that now a lot of my apps are forcing my machine to use the dedicated graphics instead of the integrated graphics -> By doing some research Ive found that this is a common issue amongst several people who upgraded to 10.8.3 especially Macbook pro 2010 owners.
Id really like to know if there is any possible way of downgrading from 10.8,3 to 10.8.2 without having to do a clean install? I'll greatly appreciate anyone's input on this

You are better off using GfxCardStatus to control your own graphics switching.. then you can lock the integrated graphics on all the time, then switch it only when you want it switched.

yeah... once an app is using the GPU, its kind of stuck... older gfxCardStatus would let you switch back, but I think it was bugged and never worked quite right.
Right now i keep my Intel locked on 95% of the time. If I need to switch to the GPU I do... if I need to switch back, I close the apps that are stuck on the GPU. -
Origin forces dedicated, I only got Origin for the upcoming release of Sim City which I do plan to get. Probably a mistake but I need games on my macbook, lol.

you need to force on the intel chip before running other applications

rMBP seems to be a disaster one after another. Good thing that I nixed the idea of upgrading..

The only way to be completely sure is to do a clean install. If you download the Mountain Lion installer from the App Store, it contains 10.8.3. Create a bootable USB flash drive from it. I've used a program called Lion DiskMaker as it does everything for you without needing to extract the .ESD file from the App Store package. -
