To force a switch between them, here are a few options (you may have already tried all these solutions, but hopefully one can help):ģ. However, you can still do it somewhat easily at a macro level, just not for individual programs. Under older versions of MacOs, it was easier to force manual changes for an individual program, but since Catalina, that's been harder.

Normally, your computer will assign higher demand programs to the Radeon Pro 560 and less demanding ones to the integrated chipset. If you aren't sure which GPU is being used by a particular program, you can check in Activity Monitor under the GPU tab it will also show you how much of both GPU's capacity your programs are using. Really, it just means your Macbook Pro has 2 graphics processors: the Radeon Pro 560X and and the integrated chipset. If we have the same thing (and I think we probably do), then you have a dedicated, discrete graphics card built-in, but the system will not recognize it as an "external" GPU. I also have a Radeon Pro 560X (4GB) built into my Macbook Pro - the external graphics card I use is different.
