1 is the AMD Radeon, and the other is an Intel GPU. The 2011 MacBook Pro actually has 2 very capable GPUs inside. With the removal of an EFI variable and 1 resistor, the GPU will be completely disabled, and you will never have to worry about it again.īut wait, why would you disable your GPU, you need that thing right? This is insanely expensive, and again, just putting defective parts into service. The final option is to replace the logic board. Replacing the GPU is very dangerous (brick warning), and you are just putting another defective unit on your board. You can extend its life for a few weeks with a reflow, or attempt to replace the GPU. You are not going to be able to fix the GPU. There is a widely known defect in the Radeon GPUs on these MacBook Pro models. This is normally lines on screen, stripes on screen, sometimes even black screen or blank screen. So you, like many others, have a 2011 MacBook Pro with video issues.
