MacOS Burp forces the use of discret GPU

Remi | Last updated: Mar 26, 2020 07:30AM UTC

Automatic GPU Switch Flag is missing from the plist file. <key>NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching</key> <true/> This resolves the issue.

Thanks for reporting the issue. This is already in our backlog. I'm afraid we don't have an ETA right now but we have linked this thread so we can post here when there is an update.

Manually adding: <key>NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching</key> <true/> to my Info.plist does not resolve the issue. Starting Burpsuite still forces the discrete GPU on. This significantly impacts my ability to work without tether to a power source.

Updated to Burp 2020.4 last night. This seems to have resolved the issue, at least for me.

I should mention, I do have to force the GPU to "integrated only" using gswitch, the system won't automatically switch off the GPU if Burp Suite is in use. But at least I can get a couple more hours out of the battery with this work-around.
