Mavericks Performance vs. Bootcamp

Thanks for the Reply Bart!
Forcing The integrated Makes Everything Work Just fine! stable 60 fps +-
The Thing is using the integrated doesn't allow you to use a secondary display, and of course GPU power is lost...
I guess this is a Mavericks Issue or Nvidia Driver Issue.

Just talked with Apple support,

my best suggestion here would be to get in touch with the developers of the software. They might have more information on if the issue has been reported, and if there’s a way to get their program to run properly on Mavericks (i.e. in this case, get higher FPS)

So they blame Software Developers now....

That's almost funny.

It sucks, right now you're stuck between us, Apple and NVidia all pointing at each other and you're in the middle with a very expensive laptop that doesn't do what it should.

If you'd like, you could send it to us (on our cost) so we can take a look? Although I can't promise that that will give any immediate results.

Mavericks 10.9.3, which is still in beta, is going to have changes to graphics drivers. The main purpose is to expand support for 4K but I imagine there will be performance gains as well. DO NOT be tempted to chase down a pre-release version because there could be new problems introduced that make your system even less reliable. There are also no guarantees that the final 10.9.3 release will make things any better. Keep your fingers crossed.

I'm sorry but I won't be able to send the hardware Because of TAX issues in my country.
But As I read other forums threads the problem is the same with older Macbooks with Dedicated GPUs Upgraded to Mavericks.

So far With the latest 10.9.3 Beta No improvements at all...

Hello again Joris,
I'm writing a big complain to apple and because they blame the developers I have one question:
If everything works just fine with the integrated card (being forced at the OS side) can it still (somehow) possible that the fault is at the developers side? (To me it sounds like the App "talks" to the OS the same way, no matter what gpu is being used)
I would really appreciate a technical answer.

Thanks for bringing up the issue with Apple directly.

We're doing the exact same thing we're doing for all other Macs out there, including the ones that have NVidia cards in them. If it works there, we can only assume it would work on this Mac as well.

We don't know of any documentation that says we need to do anything differently for this particular card with this particular set of drivers. If there is a different approach we need to take, we'd love to hear it.

Hi Joris
I have a possible fix or at least a head on it:
here is a video describing the problem + fix:

Thanks for that very helpful video, BPM!

Hopefully we can figure out why the screen refresh is not syncing up, or actually causing lower fps when it syncs.

Glad I could help,
Although I use your software at the institute I work in, I'm using another VJ software for my performances,
and I can say that the exact same problem exist over that software too.
I'm checking for solutions on a daily basis including apple's betas, tweaks and everything I can & eventually I wish to buy a license of resolume because in my opinion the interface is fantastic.
You guys also seem nice & helpful, something I can't say about the other software's support team...
