Just updated my imac, so far so good.
And for those who cares, NVidia shipped/updated their drivers for Yosemite final :
http://us.download.nvidia.com/Mac/Quadro_Certified/343.01.01f01/WebDriver-343.01.01f01.pkg
Bringing them to 343 build while Yosemite ships with much older drivers.
If you don't have any MacPro though, you need to edit the Distribution file so it skips the MacProX,Y check, which is idiotic since the new drivers supports all Nvidia cards, including mobility ones AND ones that don't even exist on real Mac, only hackintosh/PC

Have you got a dGPU in that thing? If so, force it to always run on that. Google for the method.
All the Retina models have had that ever since the first one (no, whoever was about to deny this - I have seen 4 of the 5 revisions in action, on various specs and not one of them maintains a smooth 60 without fiddling if at all). If you don't have a dGPU, only the top of the line Iris is fast enough to run everything smoothly realistically (so that's the latest revision, top of the line model) and if you do have a dGPU the OS for some reason thinks the iGPU is enough (and nope, it's not Nvidia's driver, because Nvidia's Optimus isn't in control of that shit).

You're out of luck then, that's the Iris 5100 and I've only seen it mostly smooth on the 5200. It's mostly because it constantly clocks down; it's just as shit as Boost 1.0 was on Nvidia's Kepler. By the time it realises it needs to render shit, it's too late to get back to normal clocks.
Maybe there's some utility to force the 5100 to run at full clocks? It'll affect your battery life though.

It's laggy on discrete GPUs as well on retina.

So it's an expensive piece of hardware that is lagging?
Not a problem, just go to your local macfag store and tell 'em it's broken and they'll set you right up.

2GB left, gonna see how it works on Z97 Haswell refresh hackintosh, Mavericks had some annoying sleep bug with 6 monitors connected to a Eyefinity 6 GPU (you need to sleep the PC for like 20 seconds after login, then boom all monitors work, without sleep only 2 monitors work).

No matter what I do now, there's lag associated with everything. Dragging windows to be larger, going into full screen, opening any folder or the apps list, even restarting it takes a good 10 seconds longer. The worst part is the transitions, it simply can't keep up, so everything looks choppy.
2014 13" MBPr, upgraded to the absolute limit. It was similar before Yosemite, but now it's chronic.
How they can call this acceptable, I'll never know. It's a disgrace. When I run W8 in bootcamp, it's fine. No lag for anything.
Good one, Apple. |
No problems with late 2013 13" MBPr, has i5 and Intel Iris graphics.

Really like this new OSx, feels and looks good, definitely a step in the right direction.

There is also "Essentials.pkg" error during install on some macs, some people doesnt have it, some does. Everything is possible with Apple products these days.

I decided to try those transitions + resizing windows, it indeed does stutter, at morning when i installed this i moved windows and was just browsing, seemed to be smooth. Activity monitor on, it seems that when you resize something CPU usage goes high (over 30%). Anyway Interinactive, why so mad? Seems that your whole world has gone upside down due to this issue. I dont care, this is just work computer, everything else works, there have been lots of issues lately with apple shit, nothing special it seems in this case aswell.

I just realized that the absolutely best 13" MBPr has so underpowered hardware for the price that i would be mad aswell. It actually uses the intel ultra low voltage i7, which is dual core + HT (same as i5 but little more cache and +200mhz more). Sweet jesus the premium price for those SSD and Memory upgrades.

But seriously, can't you just return them and get your money back (the whole firm or workplace)?

Ok i upgraded my old macbook and went from lion to yosemite. I'd like to know if i can disable that fullscreen transition animation somehow? I can disable it for chrome, but for stuff like vlc that thing is annoying as hell. It freezes picture for like 1-2sec while transitioning. On lion i it just went to fullscreen, no bullshit animations.

a few questions for the pros...
using a mid 2011 macbook air, I notice now when turning it on from a shutdown after I enter my password to login, I get a little loading bar for a few seconds before actually getting to my desktop, before it was instant... any ideas?
Also, not understanding how this new personal hotspot thing is changed, seems to work the same way it always has, turn on hotspot on iphone, look under wireless networks on macbook, click and connect.... whats different now?

About hotspot: I think the new thing is that if you have iphone with ios 8.1 then the continuity feature will allow you to remotely enable hotspot from mac. I think that requirement is that both devices support bluetooth 4.0 LE.

Hit minimise in OSX - mini-freeze, think about it, play transition of zooming the window down, done

Its not as bad as you make it seem. Hit minimize on OSX windows minimizes to the dock in a smooth transition. No hiccup whatsoever. Making an App go fullscreen indeed takeshalf a second before the transition starts. But I sincerely never paid any attention to it.
I'm using Yosemite on this 1.6Ghz C2D / Nvidia 320M / 4Gb Ram and its just as smooth as the first day I got the machine 4 years ago.
Yes, OSX and Windows have a different feel to them. Get used to it.

Well you were talking about the OS itself in that post of yours, so thats what I was referring to. "How can anyone call this a decent OS when it's constantly got a bloated sluggish feeling?" For me it doesnt feel more bloated nor sluggish than Mavericks or any other OSX before that. Heck, battery life has even gotten better since Mavericks.
Your problem is not with the OS but with the bad choice of hardware Apple chose to combine. I use Yosemite both on my MBA and my hackintosh and it doesnt feel sluggish at all (at least not any more than any other OSX version before, its just the way OSX feels like)

You could still go back and install an earlier version of OSX then reimport all your files and stuff. Then at least, you could work normally.

well i think it's time to upgrade my macbook air from mid 2011, it's definitely showing it's age with the new OSx. What do you guys think.... worth it, I use this thing quite a bit when away from home... need to see if it's possible to even clone the drive onto a new one.
