Hi everybody,

got the following error message:

Specs: MacBook Pro (13 Zoll, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 Connectors) CPU: 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 RAM: 16 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X Graphic card: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB macOS: Catalina (10.15.6)

If you need more information - just let me know.

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Hello!

What did you expect to happen? The only apple dual (iGPU+dGPU) GPU machines are most iMacs and most 15" MacBook Pros. However iMacs do not offer switching at all, as the iGPU is only used for background rendering workloads, and it's not wired to the displays. Thus currently (unless apple introduces new dual GPU machines, which is highly unlikely, due to the scheduled ARM switch) only 15" MacBook Pros are supported.

Best, Rastafabi

*iGPU = integrated, dGPU = dedicated, eGPU = external

Thanks for the explanation - I was on the wrong track.
