So only Apple could supply drivers they deemed worthy. On my old 2010 MBP in bootcamp the install of graphic drivers was disabled as they used to be on many notebooks. Īpple is not famous for updating GPU drivers. Lately I testet the latest MacBook Pro 13" Retina - it is not that much faster in Adobe Bridge CC and ACR than the 2012 MacBook Pro - but GPU support works Just spend 2000 bugs. How long will Apple keep the non-Retina MacBook Pro 13"? And if they keep it longer, will they update the graphics card driver? Or will they update the drivers for the Intel HD 4000 with El Capitan? Wouldn't it be easier for Apple, if Intel provide the Mac drivers? But anyway, even on the latest Mac OS X Yosemite the drivers do not work or are too old (tested on a different MacBook Pro 13" with Intel HD 4000).Īpple is still selling the MacBook Pro 13", so they should also update the drivers for the card. And right now you even cannot update to the latest system with the latest drivers, because the system is unstable. I researched that Windows could get it to work again with updating the drivers for the Intel HD 4000. But if you work 5-8 hours a day on a computer, it is a welcome improvement.ĪCR 9.1 breaks GPU support for Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom (which is the same RAW engine). But nevertheless it makes working with ACR more smoother, let's say. In April Adobe released Adobe Camera Raw 9, which uses GPU acceleration for drawing in the preview-window and zooming.

I use Adobe Bridge CC and Adobe Camera RAW a lot. The MacBook Pro handle the RAW pictures from my Canon 5D MKIII just fine.

Some background info: I have a MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2012), 2.9GHz, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB, Intel HD 4000 and work as a photographer/photojournalist. I ask because I downgraded from 10.10 Yosemite to 10.9.5 Mavericks (had four cold or sudden restarts with Yosemite 10.10.3/4 installed, something I had never experienced under a Mac system and I am using Mac OS X since 2004). What do you think, will Apple update the graphic crads driver for Intel HD 4000 GPU?
