The end result is a workload that gives you a good idea of what a heavy multitasking usage model will do in terms of battery life.
#Gfxcardstatus 2.1 movie#
Here I’m downloading large files at a constant 1MB/s from a dedicated server, while playing back a looped 1080p H.264 movie (the Skyfall trailer) all while running the medium battery life test. The final test is very similar to our old heavy multitasking battery life tests, but with some updates. The goal here is to deliver useful numbers after all. I run with the dGPU on as well because it’s far too often that a single application open in the background will fire up the dGPU and contribute to draining your battery. It sounds like a small change but the impact on battery life is tremendous.īoth the light and medium tests are run in their default state with processor graphics enabled, as well as with the discrete GPU forced on. Here there’s less than 10 seconds of reading time before going onto the next page. The medium test hits the same webpages (Flash and all) but far more aggressively. It’s a great way of estimating battery life if you’re going to be using your notebook as a glorified typewriter (likely a conservative estimate for that usage model).

Web browsing may be the medium for the test but if all you’re doing is typing, watching Twitter update and maybe lazily doing some other content consumption this is a good representation of the battery life you’ll see. The long pause time between page loads is what really makes this a light test. Flash is enabled and present on three of the sites. The light test hits four different websites every minute, pausing for nearly the entire time to simulate reading time. The light and medium suites are inherently related - they use the same workload and simply vary the aggressiveness of that workload. All three tests are run with the displays set to 100 nits (a little above the halfway brightness point on most MacBook Pros). I have three separate workloads: light, medium and heavy, each one representing a different stress level on the machine and all three giving you a decent idea of the dynamic range of battery life you can expect from one of these notebooks. The suite is completely redone although conceptually it’s quite similar to what I’ve run in the past. I’m happy to say that I’ve fixed that problem with our OS X battery life tests. Aggressively caching our test web pages produces artificially inflated battery life numbers and that’s no fun for anyone.

GfxCardStatus is an open-source menu bar application that keeps track of which graphics card your dual-GPU (late 2008/2009/2010) MacBook Pro is using at any given time, and allows you to switch between them.
